Dharamshala – Holiday Tour Packages
With a name that means “a spiritual dwelling” and a location that evokes tranquility, you would think many come here to escape the hustle and bustle of modern life.
While that may have been the case in the past, Dharamshala now receives lots of tourists on a daily basis. Then again, there are yoga and meditation facilities in town if you're interested.
The chance to get a glimpse of the Dalai Lama is one of the major draws of the Upper Dharamshala area but he is quite the busy man. However, a trek up to the upper regions won't be at a loss since you get to see a Tibetain community and their structures.
