About the place

The feeling of McLeod Ganj

McLeod Ganj sits above Dharamshala and has become one of Himachal's most distinctive cultural destinations. Tibetan monasteries, prayer flags, cafes and walking trails shape the town, while the Dhauladhar range rises dramatically behind it. The Dalai Lama Temple complex and surrounding Tibetan institutions give the settlement a spiritual character unlike most hill towns.
