Dharamshala

Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh, lies in the Kangra district. It is known that the city is split in half. Lower Dharamshala is the city's business hub, full of shops selling food, clothing, and other necessities and the famed Kotwali Bazaar. While Mcleodganj and other parts of Dharamshala's colonial history are found in the city's upper region, known as the Dharamshala Valley. There is a unique character to be found in each of the city's two distinct parts. There's no better way to relax and enjoy the sights as a visitor than this.

Dharamshala is always under the watchful eye of the Dhauladhar Range, whose mountain ranges are covered with snow. Mcleodganj, which Tibetans predominantly inhabit, is a good place to see the much-touted Tibetan Buddhist culture. At a lofty elevation of 2,082 meters, this city's neighborhood offers spectacular views. The main street is lined with restaurants serving traditional Tibetan delicacies like momos and businesses offering traditional Tibetan arts and crafts. The Tsuglagkhang Complex, the official residence of the 14th Dalai Lama, serves as the focal point of the market. Tibetan refugees flock there as a place of worship. Visitors visit the

Dalai Lama, learn about Tibetan culture at the museum, observe lively debates among the monks, and soak in the uplifting atmosphere.
