The Point
The Point provides a superb viewing platform of both the snow-capped Dhauladhar Range of the Himalayas as a stunning backdrop, and overlooks the Kangra Valley across to the Shivalik Hills right over to the Maharana Pratap Sagar Sanctuary (enticingly called Pong Dam locally). This is now a World Heritage Site for birds, with thousands on migration making the 403-mile circumference lake a regular stop. The tented pavilion of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama’s temple complex can be seen easily in McLeodganj 1000 feet below, whilst further down in Dharamshala 20 kilometres away, the state-of-the-art International Cricket Stadium can be clearly seen.
