Punjab's flat highways most of the way, then the Kangra valley with the Dhauladhar range ahead. Too long to ride comfortably in a single day.

Mixed conditions
The NH 44 section is fast and wide. Once you turn off for the hills the roads narrow, and the final climb from Dharamshala to McLeod Ganj is steep, twisty and packed on weekends. Expect rain in the monsoon; this is one of the wettest towns in India.
