Dharamshala

About Dharamshala

Dharamshala and McLeodganj sit on a shelf below the Dhauladhar range, close enough that the mountains fill the window. It is the seat of the Tibetan community in exile, which gives the town its monasteries, momo kitchens and quiet mornings, and the Triund ridge above it is one of the easiest ways for a first-timer to sleep at altitude. It is also one of the better places in India to work remotely for a week.

Best time to visit
✓ September is a great time to go
March to June for clear mountain views and open trails, and September to November after the rains. July and August are very wet.
How to reach
Gaggal (Kangra) airport is about 15 km away with limited flights; Pathankot is the nearest major railhead (about 3 hrs), and overnight buses run from Delhi (about 12 hrs).
