INDULGE IN AUTHENTIC Himachali dham prepared using traditional recipes and the region’s freshest ingredients at Radisson

Blu Resort Dharamshala’s all-day dining restaurant, The Edge. A community lunch feast often reserved for special occasions and festivals, a dham is characterised by rich curd-based gravies and use of local, aromatic spices. Essential to the region’s culture, the feast usually consists of 10-12 individual dishes served on leaves, including aromatic rice, fried pulses, spicy vegetable curry made using red kidney beans, and many delicious desserts.

Located at the foothills of the scenic Dhauladhar Himalayan range in the Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh, the resort also serves as the base for other neighbouring tourist spots. Trek through the mountains to visit monasteries and temples, and pack in a visit to Dalai Lama’s complex in McLeod Ganj. Shop for local goods at Kotwali Bazaar, sip on teas at the gardens of Sheela Chowk, or soak in mesmerising views of the Kangra Valley and soaring pine forests from any of the 120 rooms at the resort or the infinity pool. radissonhotels.com
