Mcleodganj




Mcleodganj

its amazing what a place can do to you, Dalai lama temple and a church were the first places i visited...am i believer..not yet !!!
Boarded Himachal roadways bus from Kashmeri Gate ISBT, Delhi and in 12 hours am in a different space. BTW would recommend Himachal tourism bus service any day. Reached Dharamshala and jumped into a local bus to Mcleodganj. Whatever you do, Mcleodganj is sure to leave an impression on you, it could be the rich Tibetan culture and people or the beautiful eating joints and cafes. For me it was the walk down the lanes of this sleepy little town.

Mcleodganj was on my mind since a long time and the rain was the perfect fuel. Clouds were all around, like a halo around the town. There is an amazing calmness in the town, it has to be the great Buddha influence. Perfect pad to start your treks to triund and dharmakot, but unfortunately rain plays spoil-sport on this occasion. Cant risk it during this time of the year. But walk to Bhagsu was manageable, an old temple and a surreal waterfall was on the offering.

Experience the slow life and walk around the town to experience Mcleodganj. Spend some (real) time at the Dalai Lama temple, its a completely different kind of serenity. St John’s church in the wilderness is simple beautiful, more because of the location and the name doesn’t disappoint you.

Have the best of Tibetan, Italian, Israeli and chinease food. Its a paradise for foodies also. Made friends from US and Canada, perfect way to wind the day was some himachal wine with new friends.

A perfect hill station...

Packing your bags ??? do it because Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara...
