Dharamsala - धर्मशाला

The High snow clad Dhauladhar ranges of the Himalays from a magnificent Backup to the hill resort of Dharamsala is the principal township of Kangra district and overlooks the wide spread of the plains. With dense pine and deodar forests, numerous streams, cool healthy air, attractive surroundings and the nearly snowline. Dharamsala has everything for a perfect holiday. It is full of life and yet peaceful. And therefore the headquarter of His Holiness the Dalai Lama is here. Covering a wide area in the form of twin settlement, Lower Dharamsala (1380 m) is a busy commercial center, while Upper Dharamsala (1830 m), is with suburbs of Mcleodganj and Forsytheganj, retains a British flavour and colonial lifestyle.

Surrounded by a stretch of the Dhauladhar mountains, overlooking the Kangra Valley at a height of 4,550 ft, Dharamsala is 21 km from Kangra Town in West Himachal.
