The Little Lhasa
Nestled in the cedar forests of the Dhauladhar range, Dharamshala offers a profound blend of Tibetan spirituality and Himalayan beauty.
About Dharamshala
Set against the backdrop of the dramatic Dhauladhar mountains, Dharamshala is uniquely divided into two parts: the lower town serves as a bustling commercial hub, while the upper town, known as McLeod Ganj, is the spiritual capital of Tibetan Buddhism in exile. It is home to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. The town features a peaceful ambiance, narrow streets lined with Tibetan handicrafts, serene monasteries, and lush pine and cedar forests, making it a perfect retreat for soul-searchers and nature lovers.
