About This Dharamshala Itinerary
Dharamshala and McLeodganj — Little Lhasa of India — offer a unique blend of Tibetan Buddhist culture, Himalayan adventure, and colonial charm. Our 2-day itinerary covers the spiritual center of the Dalai Lama, the vibrant McLeodganj market, a trek to Triund summit, and the beautiful Norbulingka Institute.
Day 1 explores McLeodganj's Tibetan soul — the Dalai Lama Temple complex, Tibet Museum, Bhagsu Waterfall, and sunset at Naddi viewpoint. Day 2 features the iconic Triund trek for stunning Dhauladhar views, the scenic HPCA cricket stadium, and the Norbulingka arts center.
A cab handles the altitude difference between lower Dharamshala (1,457 m) and McLeodganj (1,770 m), plus transfers to scattered viewpoints and the Norbulingka Institute. Our drivers are experienced with the steep, narrow hill roads of this region.
