McLeod Ganj

McLeod Ganj is where the past and the present come to a serene blend. Named after Sir Donald Friell McLeod, it is also called ‘Little Lhasa’. In 1959, the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso set up the headquarters of the Tibetan Government-in-Exile here. Some of the must visit places in Dharamshala include beautiful lakes, waterfalls, a forest church and prominent monasteries. Attention shoppers! Get ready for some exquisite bargain buys at Kotwali Bazaar, Jogiwara Road and the central Square.
