Pinjore Valley - Location & Climate
Pinjore is a small, secure residential 'township' with easy access to the extraordinary educational, cultural and recreational opportunities of Chandigarh - one of India's most desirable places to live. Set over 1800 feet above the sea level in a beautiful valley, overlooking the Shivaliks, it is a pollution-free area away from the madding crowd of the cities, which offers perfect setting not only for physical well-being but also for the harmonious development of mind and spirit.
The foothills of Shivalik have lured men to strive for greater heights and to the shimmering snow covered peaks. Shivaliks mark the beginning of the most spectacular and glorious mountains, beckoning the travelers to continue their journey tirelessly upwards. DPS Pinjore, taking this inspiration from the majestic Himalayas, facilitates its students to strive for the alluring heights of excellence in academics career and life.
The lure of Himalayas is as old as the first human being to behold their majesty. For the people of the Indian sub- continent, the Himalayas have always been more than a mere geographical entity. We have associated these mountains with our Gods and our legends, served our philosophy of life through the minds of men who went through the Himalayan experience while reaching out for universal truths of creation.
The average temperatures for summers and winters are 35 and 18 degree Celsius respectively, with rainfall concentrated over the summer months of July, August and September.
