About the sun in Dharamsala
In Dharamsala, the longest day of 2026 is 21 June, with 14h 16m of daylight, and the shortest is 22 December, with 10h 02m: a difference of 4 hours 14 minutes. The earliest sunrise of the year is on 12 June (5:18 AM) and the latest sunset on 30 June (7:35 PM). These dates do not fall on the solstice because Earth's orbit is elliptical and its axis is tilted, so solar noon drifts through the year. Dharamsala lies outside the tropics, so the sun is never directly overhead. Its highest point is 81.2° above the horizon, on 21 June.
