Dharamshala and Mcleodganj

In the Himalayan Dhauladhar range, there lies a lovely hill town called Dharamshala. It is situated on the top slopes of the Kangra valley and serves as the state of Himachal Pradesh's winter capital. The greatest Buddhist leader, the Dalai Lama, resides in Dharamsala, which was formerly known as a British hill station during the colonial era.

If you're travelling from surrounding towns like Chandigarh, Delhi, Amritsar, or Jammu, Dharamshala is a more relaxed and serene place to spend a long weekend. However, it is occasionally overshadowed by the more well-known neighbourhood of McLeodganj. In addition to Mcleodganj, you may visit the sleepy hippy settlement of Dharamkot, which is free of crowds of visitors. Dharamsala is hence well renowned for being one of the best places for lone travellers since it is distant from the clamour of other tourist attractions.

In addition to the tranquilly, Dharamsala attracts visitors with its thangka paintings, museums, lively street markets, and gastronomy. A multitude of walking possibilities are available at Mcleodganj, which is just around 3 kilometres from Dharamsala.

Like Shimla, Manali, and Dalhousie, Dharamsala also suffers icy winters, so spring and summer (mid-February to mid-July) are the finest times to explore this little Lhasa in India's rich and royal Tibetan culture.
