Dharamshala is a popular hill station in Himachal Pradesh, India.
Mcleodganj, a suburb in Dharamsala, is often referred to as Little Lhasa, and for good reason. This city is the home of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and boasts a strong Tibetan character, from the fluttering prayer flags to the frequent monasteries and saffron-robed monks. This city offers a perfect escape from the busy world to relax, unwind and immerse in the serene surroundings. The view of the colossal snow-covered peaks of the Dhauladhar Range is a sight to behold.
Stroll through Mcleodganj and explore the main street dotted with shops selling Tibetan arts and crafts, and enjoy a variety of Tibetan dishes at the local eateries. The Tsuglagkhang Complex, which is the official home of the 14th Dalai Lama, is the center of the Tibetan Buddhist culture and a pilgrimage site for Tibetan exiles. Visitors flock here to see the Dalai Lama, explore the museum, watch the monks debate, and bask in the positive vibes exuded by the place. Just remember to be mindful of the etiquette while visiting monasteries, as photography and visiting restrictions apply in some areas.
