Luxury Dharamshala Tours

Dharamshala's McLeod Ganj has been home to the Tibetan government-in-exile since 1960, and the town still lives by that history.

Overview

Dharamshala At A Glance

Dharamshala rises in two tiers, with McLeod Ganj sitting higher and cooler above the main town. The Dalai Lama has lived there since 1960, when the Tibetan government-in-exile settled on the hillside. Its monasteries and prayer wheels remain part of daily life, not a display staged for visitors. A private guide can walk a traveler through the market lanes, then explain the history behind what they are seeing.
