Govt. College Salooni

ABOUT COLLEGE

Government Degree College at Salooni, District Chamba (HP) was established by Government of Himachal Pradesh in September 2006 as co-educational college. Salooni is situated at a distance of about 50 km from the district headquarter Chamba and at an altitude of 1850 meters. The college is surrounded by beautiful cedar trees and apple orchards. Courtyard of the college gives a stupendous view of almost half of the area of Chamba district. At one end of the mid Himalayan range fronting the college stands the snowcapped Sach pass. Other end gradually descends into the Dain kund and Kala Top before eventually making the view of Dalhousie visible. In the darkness of night, the twinkling lamps in Dalhousie town look as if a constellation of young stars had come as pilgrims to earth. The clustered hamlet of houses visible from the college on the front mountain dazzles like a pearl when the sun shines bright during the day. The pleasant weather for the larger part of the year adds yet another feather. This makes Salooni valley a real paradise for every visitor.
