Radisson Blu Resort Dharamshala is a 5-star resort at Khanyara, Dharamshala, with 120 rooms, an outdoor pool, spa and event lawns, ~16 km from Kangra (Gaggal) Airport.

Radisson Blu Resort Dharamshala stands at Village Kandi, near Khanyara, on the foothill slopes below the Dhauladhar range. The property has 120 rooms and is one of the larger five-star resorts in the Dharamshala area, with the scale to handle families, tour groups and weddings. It occupies a hillside setting a little removed from the main town, which gives it open valley views and event lawns that smaller hill hotels cannot offer. The building was earlier known as The Pavilion before re-branding under Radisson Blu.
Of the major Dharamshala resorts this is among the closest to the airport: Kangra (Gaggal) Airport (DHM) is about 16 km away, roughly 40 minutes by road. As with all Kangra flights, schedules are limited, so many guests fly into Chandigarh or Amritsar and drive, or take the train to Pathankot and continue by car. The resort sits below McLeod Ganj rather than up in it, so reaching the upper Tibetan quarter involves a 25–30 minute uphill drive, which is worth bearing in mind if monasteries are your priority.
Rooms span Superior, Deluxe and Premium categories through to suites, with contemporary interiors, plush bedding and warm Himalayan-influenced touches. Many rooms face the Dhauladhar or look down the valley. The larger footprint of the resort means rooms tend to be generously sized for a hill property, and suites with separate sitting areas suit families and longer stays.
Dining is varied for the area. The Edge is the all-day multi-cuisine restaurant serving regional and pan-Indian dishes, Italian Crust is a dedicated pizzeria for Italian fare, and D'Sweet Spot is a tea lounge for premium teas and light refreshments. Round-the-clock in-room dining is available, which is useful after late arrivals on the long mountain drive.
The resort has an outdoor swimming pool, a full-service spa and a fitness centre. The grounds include banquet halls and lawns, which is what makes this property a regular choice for destination weddings and conferences in Dharamshala. There is also a children's play area, making it one of the more family-oriented five-stars in the valley.
The resort is well placed for sightseeing across both lower and upper Dharamshala. The HPCA Cricket Stadium, one of the most photogenic grounds in world cricket against its Dhauladhar backdrop, is about 8 km away. Up the hill, the Tsuglagkhang Complex (the Dalai Lama Temple) and McLeod Ganj market are around 11–12 km. Closer to the resort, the Khanyara area offers riverside walks and slate-quarry trails. The travel desk can arrange day trips to Naddi, Bhagsunag, the Norbulingka Institute and the wider Kangra valley, as well as guided treks towards Triund.
Radisson Blu Resort Dharamshala suits families, groups and event guests who want a full-service five-star with a pool, spa and lawns at a more accessible price point than the ultra-luxury hill resorts. Its closeness to the airport is a practical advantage, and its banquet capacity makes it a leading wedding venue in the area. Travellers whose main interest is the Tibetan culture of upper McLeod Ganj should note the uphill drive each way, but for a comfortable valley base with room to spread out, it is a strong option.
