Description:
An inevitable stop midway Dalhousie and Khajjiar is the beautiful area of thickly covered forests of Kalatope. A very thick and dark forest crowns the hilltop which perhaps gives the town its name, Kalatope, meaning a black cap. The hill top gives a splendid view of the surrounding landscape with snow capped mountains, the valleys beneath, the lush green meadows and small hamlets dotting this verdant landscape. The place is an ideal habitat for many wild species, and has been declared as the sanctuary by the government.
