The town sprawls lazily over a big plateau under the pine covered Shah Madar hill on the right bank of Ravi and nestles in the care of snow laden mountains. The plateau of Chamba is divided in two extensive terraces. Mighty and majestic palaces mark this division on the outer edge of upper plain, bringing into view their splendor from the down town Chougan which unrolls as a grassy carpet somewhere in the middle of the town.

Bazaars flank this green and we overlook the blue stream of Ravi encircling and flowing past the town. We can behold the tiny villages in their natural setting of fields far beyond. Chamba presents a continuous pattern of blue -grey roof-tops if you view this town from Chamunda temple located on the southern spur of Shah-Madar hill. Interspersed among the houses and shops are the ancient temples; their lofty spires making the godly presence felt, urging the devout to bow his head with reverence. Lanes converge on the cross-roads, winding as they do they touch the entry point of every house.
