This is nice waterfall. You have to 30 minutes easy trek to reach waterfall. This is just behind of Bhagsunag temple. The way is well maintained, anyone can go there. This route you will find food & juice point. You will see adventure ride like zip/cycle riding on the way.

This waterfall is located in Bhagsu. You can reach till Bhagsunag temple on any vehicle. Post that one has to walk for 20-30 mins to reach the Bhagsu Warefall. The path is well maintained. This is the best waterfall in Mcleodganj-Dharamkot area. But during summers, you may find it dry!

Very nice place you can visit shiva cafe also that is around 1km from bhagsu For more pictures and details you can follow me on instagram id i.am.akshay

Best waterfall in Dharamshala. It is just few km from Dharamshala from bhagsu Nag temple. The tracking is osm you will lobe the place.... U can come with your frinds or family and full enjoy. Reach the place by 11 and come back by 5. There are many Maggie point and restaurant for hanging and chilling with the nature.

Very great waterfall with awesome view. Must visit. Just avoid going in rain.

A touristy spot, quite scenic - but it's a moderately steep climb with a narrow trek. Even if you don't like to trek, visit the vicinity for checking the WaterFall from a distance

Nice place to visit for everyone. There is Bhagsu nag temple and after that 1.5km hiking you will reach the waterfall. There is lot of small shops for tea and Maggie and some good cafes at nice location where you can enjoy with nature voice of waterfall. The Triund trek is also starting from here.

On weekends the bhagsu waterfall gets very crowded so avoid going on weekends if u want peace, although a beautiful place..

We went there in the month of Feb and very less amount of water was falling falling. However it is so beautiful that we wanted to stay thr for long. Cafe around plays awesome music and i was so amazed with the food prize ss ut is very nominal. Generally people charges extra basis the location. We paid Rs70 for veg maggie. Which is quite normal. It is around 1km walking distance from bhagsu temple. Mostly people went back stating it is not worth going thr. However it is wrong thought. U shud go thr and enjoy it.

Best waterfall in dharamshala maclodghanj,trek is amazing , beautiful view , mostly crowded place in dharamshala. Well I love it! ...I went with my colleagues and students ,There was lot of fun, we enjoyed alot . Must visit.

There was no water in the waterfall. But just sitting at the no name cafe and having that cup of coffee was one of the moments of the trip. Looking at the nature

A nice waterfall near Bhagsu Mcleodganj. Good for taking pictures and enjoy your time with loved ones. A very short kindoff Trek is required from hotel place to reach this waterfall and the path is also easy to cover. Absolutely worth going!

I like the pathway of around 1 km & scenic views all around. The vibe we get is totally amazing. I went there in the morning & my experience was wonderful. This is a small waterfall covered with beautiful scenic mountains.

We started trekking from Bhagsu at around 9am and reached the top by afternoon. We camped there for the night and returned next day after breakfast. It was a wonderful experience as there were snow along the trekking trail at some places. The view after reaching the top was amazing and was worth all the effort.

It is a short and beginner-friendly trek, with amazing views of the Dhauladhar ranges, After some hours you can spot the mountains. This is a trek where you climb the mountain attaining a height of 2800 m with a short distance of 6km.

The Truind Trek offers a captivating journey through the serene landscapes of Himachal Pradesh, India. Starting from the quaint village of McLeod Ganj, the trail gradually ascends through lush green forests, revealing stunning vistas of the Dhauladhar range. As trekkers ascend, they encounter charming streams and cascading waterfalls, adding to the scenic allure of the route. The highlight of the trek is reaching Truind, a picturesque meadow adorned with colorful wildflowers during the spring and summer months. Trekkers can relax and soak in the panoramic views of the surrounding snow-capped peaks, including the majestic Triund Peak. Camping overnight amidst this natural splendor offers a surreal experience, especially when the starlit sky casts its magical glow over the landscape. While the trek is moderately challenging, it is accessible to both beginners and experienced trekkers alike, making it a popular choice for adventure enthusiasts seeking a rejuvenating escape into the Himalayas. However, due to its popularity, weekends and peak seasons can get crowded, so opting for weekdays or off-peak times is advisable for a more peaceful experience. Overall, the Truind Trek promises a memorable expedition immersed in the breathtaking beauty of the Himalayan wilderness.

Awesome place for weekend trip. You can go there by reaching Bhagsunag waterfall from McLeodganj/ Dharamshala. from Bhagsunag trekking is there for approx 5-6 hours. Local food items and resturants are availabe at Bhagsunag, but at Triund no such resturants are there. Cost of foods is also very high (water bottle for Rs. 80) It would be beneficial to take package prior to going if planning to stay at night at top. Views are scenic at top at day as well as at night. Round trip can also be planned but trek is to be started early in morning in that case. Snowfall can be seen at some days. It would be good to enquire about it prior to going.

A definite yes. Beautiful and not so difficult trek. If you are lucky you ll find some snow as well from December last week to Feb.

Almost 4 hour Trek for one side . the views on top was scenic beauty. Staying for overnight in the room/tents was awesome experience

As we all know whenever we visit Himachal pradesh hill stations they give you contrasting experience everytime,here I’m sharing my point of view on triund trekking which i had visited in the last week in December 2022 with my college buddies and it is full of fun this trek takes Round 4 hours to complete but luckily we completed it in 3 hours with minimal short breaks .one thing you should bring your water and snacks with you from your home or buy them from mcleod ganj or rather Dharamshala whereas price of food goes double in shops coming in the trek route. You must visit this place it gives you bliss experiences here .

Short trek, amazing trail, peaceful and rejuvenating experience. Breathtaking views amongst clouds, refreshing experience and a feel of nature that we cherish. Try visiting in off season to get the feeling of solitude.

Triund is a small hill station situated in the foothills of Dhauladhar Ranges in the Kangra district of Himachal. It lies near Dharamshala and is located at an altitude of around 2850 m. This trek provides majestic views of the hills all around. One gets mesmerised by its heights and the sceneries it provides. Weather at Triund is pleasant in the summer months. You can feel the cool breeze of the hills as you climb up the hills. The temperature at Triund drops after the month of October and snowfall can be seen in the months of January- March. The total distance covered in the trek is 7 km. The difficulty level of Triund trek can be considered as easy to moderate. Even the beginners can go for Triund trek. You must be healthy and have good stamina. After 7 km of trekking, you reach the mesmerising site of Triund where the camping is done. Camping under the stars at such a height surrounded by majestic mountains is an experience of a lifetime!

Place is Amazing but There are Important Points To take Care. 1. Its a 4-5 Hours Trek for People from Non Pahadi Cities. And 3-4 when you comming back dependig upon snow. 2.If you are not staying at triund trek camp then start your treking before 9am i.e start your journey at 7.30am from your hotel. Take taxi and reach gallu temple then start treking. 3. This trek is not Children friend. Please avoid to go with clidrens below 14 years. 4. Plese take bamboo and wooden stick from nearby gallu's temple dhabas. It just cost you rs 50 rent and 100 security. 5. Trek is full of sharp stones and narrow paths so be careful. View is very Amazing spend some time at top have food tea at top, take pics. 6. Try to come back before 5.30 pm

Top view was scenic and breathtaking but i would recommend actual mountain lovers to go on weekdays. During holidays there are a lot of party people with their loud bluetooth speakers destroying the peaceful mountain atmosphere. At top you can enjoy beautiful sunsets, moon rise and sky full of stars. Be sure to carry warm clothes as temperature drops real quick. Don’t rely on just sleeping bags. Have a great journey

Trekked during the month of Jan. And it was completely covered by snow. We didn't expect the level of snow it would have. But it was such a splendid view. We enjoyed to the core. I would definitely visit again and camp there. Two lovely dogs which i fed with half of the biscuits at a tea stall in base accompanied me to the top of the hill. They stayed with me untill i got back. I gave like 2/3rd share of my bread pack to them 😁

Truind Trek was an absolute adventure! The trail is well-marked and offers stunning panoramic views throughout. Here's a quick guide to the trek: 1. Start Early: Begin your trek early to catch the sunrise over the majestic mountains. 2. Moderate Difficulty: The trek is moderately challenging with a mix of steep ascents and descents. Suitable for beginners with reasonable fitness levels. 3. Scenic Beauty: Be prepared to be mesmerized by the lush green meadows, vibrant red flowers, and breathtaking vistas. Don't miss out on this incredible experience!

Embarking on this trek offers a moderate level of difficulty with numerous breathtaking views along the way. It's essential to wear sturdy shoes and uphold a commitment to avoid littering. Even if you're a beginner, fear not – with a little precaution and motivation, the trek is manageable. The stunning views encountered during the journey make the entire experience worthwhile. Beyond the physical challenge, treks like these prompt internal reflections. Amidst the mountains, one realizes their smallness in the vast world, gaining perspective on life's battles. Embrace the journey, capture the beauty, and remember that, in the grand scheme, challenges are temporary.

Trek was AWESOME but the rates there are sky high of everything and also the wc facilities weren't there

Truind Trek offers a diverse experience suitable for both novice trekkers and seasoned adventurers. The trek provides breathtaking views of the Dhauladhar range and McLeodganj, Bhagsu, & Dharamkot along the way. It's moderately difficult yet manageable in 4-6 hours, with the option to camp overnight for a mesmerizing starlit experience. However, be prepared for weather changes, as mist may obstruct views at the top. Carry essentials like a torch, and consider staying at the forest guest house or camping. Don't forget to bring raw chicken and drinks for a hearty meal, and capture the journey with an SLR camera. Truind Trek promises unforgettable moments amidst nature's beauty.

We started our trek from shiva cafe ( dharmshala) and it took approximately 6 hours to complete the trek and it was an amazing experience. Trek wasn’t very easy neither was it very tough. The view after completing the trek was all worth it. Triund is surrounded by Dhauladhar Mountain range and the view was breathtaking. We witnessed a beautiful sunset after reaching the top and then a mesmerising sunrise in the morning. Temperature went below zero degrees at night coz of dhauladhar range. Overall if you like trekking and love amazing views then Triund is a must visit place for you.

Its a really Nice place to visit. Serine environment with attractive mountain views. The most affectionate thing of this place is Sunset and Sunrise . You can stay here in tents . During the night you can see the stars very clearly.

It was an amazing experience, short and adventurous trek with breathtaking views and soothing vibes.. my soul melts in the arms of nature.. must recommended place to go if you love trekking..

A must visit place if you are in Dharmsala or Mcleodganj! This monastery is where Dalai Lama stays. But it will be very difficult to see him here. The main temple of the monastery is usually crowded. But you will feel the peace and calmness in the temple because of the ambience. Also, masks are mandatory for entry inside the temple!

Very quiet and calm place for meditation, can spend hours sitting here. Great view of mountains and valley, can even see Dharamshala Skyway cabins floating by. Very well maintained and clean premises. At a walkable distance from McLeod Ganj Chowk with lot of eateries and other shops on both sides of the road. A must visit while being in Dharamshala.

Visiting this serene place offers a profound sense of peace and tranquility. Watching the monks engage in their daily prayers fills the atmosphere with a calming energy. Taking a leisurely walk around the exterior of the complex is a truly enchanting experience. The beauty of the surroundings, adorned with prayer wheels along the path, adds to the spiritual ambiance. Each turn of the prayer wheel symbolizes a devout wish or prayer, creating a rhythmic harmony with the surroundings. Amidst the quietude, one can't help but feel a deep connection to the spirituality and history of the place. It's a sanctuary where time seems to slow down, allowing visitors to immerse themselves fully in the moment and find solace in the presence of ancient traditions.

Must visit place in mcloadganj. Clean and hygienic place. Peaceful environment.

This complex has the Tibet memorial, namgyal monastery, official residence of H.H. Dalai Lama and various hostels/offices which are not open for normal tourist. Some basic things that one must remember here; 1. Always wear masks 2. Follow the rules written on the wall 3. Maintain silence in the temple. The namgyal monastery was set up by H.H. Dalai Lama and other refugees who came from Tibet after China's invasion. It has the reamin of the main idol of the original namgyal monastery from Tibet. You can sit and pray outside the main temple, as there are a lot of mattresses and area for public. One needs to maintain silence there all the time. There is drinking water available but please don't use it untill it's necessary because the residents of the complex are already facing water shortage. Enjoy the area, pray and learn about Buddhism, Tibet and H.H. Dalai Lama.

The temple of Mahatma Budha is a tremendous sight to behold. It is a wonderful sight to see. All the people who come here and from Bodhidharma, they keep coming here. Apart from this, the general public also keeps coming here. It is a very amazing temple to see and coming here gives peace and relaxation. Very relaxed, very relaxed, a lot.

The Dalai Lama Temple in Dharamshala is a truly peaceful and special place. It's where the current Dalai Lama resides. The temple has stunning paintings and artworks, adding to its beauty. Visitors can immerse themselves in the tranquil atmosphere and admire the details of the art. Additionally, the temple offers an environment for meditation and reflection, allowing visitors to find inner peace. Overall, a visit to the Dalai Lama Temple is a unique and enriching experience, offering Buddhist cultural insights.

When I went to Buddha temple than temple was close because of covid 19

This is a very peaceful temple to visit for sightseeing and meditation.... A few shops inside the complex that sell ritual items and books. This temple is the frequent preaching spot of Dalai Lama.

This is the temple complex & office building of his holiness Dalai Lama. Entrance is free. Walk for 100 meters & then take stairs to the first floor. There are 2 different meditation / prayer areas where everyone is allowed. Quite close by to Mcloedganj ropeway. Better to walk if you are staying nearby.

Namgyal Monastery (Tibetan: རྣམ་རྒྱལ།, Wylie: rnam rgyal) (also often referred to as "Dalai Lama's Temple") is currently located in Mcleod Ganj, Dharamsala, India. It is the personal monastery of the 14th Dalai Lama. Another name for this temple-complex is Namgyal Tantric College. This monastery key role is to assist with rituals involving the Dalai Lama of Tibet. Its main tantric practices reportedly include those of Kalachakra, Yamantaka, Chakrasamvara, Guhyasamaja, and Vajrakilaya.

The complex is huge, but does not represent anything vernacular about the Tibetan architecture. Most of the construction is so raw and concrete that it is in stark contrast to the Tibetan ambience seen in typical monasteries

This is the holy temple which describes the budhism & their worship.this is also the home of Dalai Lama.many Buddhist monk we can see there.worth visit once in a lifetime to take blessings & vibes of divine.

I had visited during morning time. The area of the temple is huge. Namgyal Monastery also called Dalailama Temple. There are Institute, admistration office and residence of Dalai lama, library adjacent of temple. This place is very calm. There is no entry fees. This temple is just one minute walking distance from Dharamsala skyway/ropeway.

Amazing temple, very serene atmosphere. Highly recommend to visit during morning/early afternoon to see monks chanting and debating. No entrance fee

Dalai Lama lives here but rarely meet people...get a guide to learn the history and significance of the faith

Quiet, peacefully and a must visit place in dharmshala

Really loved the beauty of this place. The lake was kind of dried out but the surroundings were lovely.. Try to visit it when there is not much crowd.

Small pond surrounded by lot of green trees. It is not well maintained though. There is hardly any water and whatever is there, it is green and dirty. Understandably, there is no boating here. It is on the way towards Naddi View Point, passing-by glance is enough for this spot.

Decent place for morning walks. A small lake with trees all around. Not a lot to do here though apart from enjoying the scenery. A few snacks shocks in case you visit. Decent parking space is also there.

1.Okayish place for tourist attraction. 2.Surrounded by trees and horses can seen around grazing. 3.It's not a lake, It's a Pond. 4.Water is all green and filled with algae. 5.Boating is not allowed.

It’s a artificial pond renamed after Dal lake of Kashmir. But it is not even 10% of that Kashmir dal lake . The bed is green trees behind the pond is only a good thing there . Else water is smelling bad and also dirty. Not well maintained. Just the name is there and nothing good there from my opinion, it can be maintained well and make a good tourist place.

This is the amazing lake in Dharamshala. View is so amazing and it is situated amidst dense forest area. Really this is the place where you can relax , meditation, and around roam here. You can follow and subscribe to me at YouTube & Instagram @rajattravelogue

Dal Lake is a small lake 1,775 meters above sea level situated on Macleodganj - Naddi Road in Himachal Pradesh. It will is very close to MacLeodganj bazaar. Nestling amidst lush green forests of deodar trees, it is famous for its scenic beauty and pilgrimage center. The area around Dal Lake is a natural paradise.

Lake doesn't looks like lake🤣🤣 but coz of tree view is very nice .

It's not the same as before, as I was told there. The lake is not maintained anymore, it is just on the way to sunset point, which is why people visit the place. Nothing spectacular here.

Nice place to visit. The pine trees give this place a picturesque view also which makes this place look very beautiful. But the Government has to do something to revive the lake. The lake is having mud & it looks like a daldal. The government should look into the matter of cleanliness and reviving of this lake to make it more beautiful ❤️

This place didn't really surprise me, it seems like any random lake. However, as I visited this place in July the monsoons made it look much much better 🤩

Visit this place in the month of January. It was devoid of snow. The Deodar tree line on the outline of the lake created a beautiful landscape. Only if the water level would've been a bit on the higher side, it would added on to the beauty. Hopefully administration revives the aquifers and get a year round supply of water for the lake and beyond. Sample space for parking across the road enroute Naddi hill station. One time visit is more than enough.

Small lake but good for evening walks.

Visiting here in jan without snow it doesn't look that great but one tym visit while going to naddi..

When we visited this place just after the extended monsoon, at the end of September, we found this small lake, surrounded by lush green trees, very pretty. However, since it is an artificial lake, with controlled water, it may not look so beautiful throughout the year. The park by the side of the lake needs better maintenance. It is just about 2.5 km uphill from McLeod Ganj, on way to the Naddi/ Sunset View Point.

Great for an evening/morning walk! Always been an important landmark while trekking from dshala to triund!

Chilling spot surrounded by cedrus forest. Lake itself is made artificially by damming the stream on the flat terrace are. The banks are turned into the park zone with walking paths, number of benches, trash bins and places for picnic. Fast food facilities are also available, but not operating throughout whole year. Lack of maintenance from municipal services leads to intensive trashing of the place.

A place to see the real and cultural heritage of Buddhism. The place is very beautifully built and located in a great location. This place preserves all the heritage and cultural values of Buddhism and had protected from a very long decade. This place is easy to reach via any means like own transport or taxi. The place is having an inside restaurant, a bakery and a small guest room too with beautiful rooms and amazing Tibetan food. I highly recommend a stay in the guest rooms of the institute which can be booked on spot by reaching or on their website.

Norbulingka is dedicated to handing down tradition and restoring standards by providing training, education and employment for Tibetans. It supports an environment in which Tibetan community and family values can flourish. It reconciles the traditional creatively and respectfully with the modern, and seeks to create an international awareness of Tibetan values and their expression in art and literature. Norbulingka produces high quality, traditionally crafted art objects, as well as clothing and home furnishings. Free guided tours of the institute are available to visitors every day except Sunday. Workshop are also offered for those wishing to study Tibetan arts. The institute also runs two guesthouses

Norbulingka works to preserve Tibetan art and culture. The location is beautiful and well maintained, with little touches, like a dragon spewing water, all over. You can take a guided tour to see first hand artists at work keeping ancient methods alive. The raised thread stitching (with threads wrapped around horse hair!) is something to see. The temple at the top is absolutely lovely, do sit there with your eyes closed and let the peace envelope you. There is a small restaurant to the right as you enter, we enjoyed the butter tea, sticky rice, and cheese momos. Please do visit the institute shop to buy art made by the folks who work at the institute - what better way to support them.

a serene experience complimented with the best possible desserts and beverages. the monastery sits in nature's lap with a distant sound of running water. i personally found myself intrigued by the various forms of art taught in the institute. the refreshing and calming atmosphere made it absolutely worth revisiting the place.

This place is so beautiful and peaceful. The institute is all about serenity and calmness. This is one of best institute of Tibetan Studies. This was my send visit and I was in awe again. This place imparts knowledge on Tibetan culture and art. There are many workshops that are conducted in this place.

Must visit place. You will get to see the authentic artistic work done on woods, fiber, and hand painting works here. This institution carry lots of different hand crafted item on sale. Clothes, house decor, furniture... Has own cafe, temple, furniture factory, handloom item etc. Has doll measum. Need to pay entry fee on arrival at gate. Enjoy their shop and enjoy the beautiful garden, it's so peaceful place to visit..

A charming cafe within the grounds provides a perfect spot to unwind and absorb the peaceful ambiance.

The best time to experience the magic of Norbulingka is in the evening when the soft light complements the serene surroundings, creating a truly enchanting atmosphere.

Norbulingka Institute is an ancient monastery dedicated to the Tibetan culture. You'll hear soft meditating Buddha hymns as soon as you enter this place. There is a huge statute of Buddha established in the heart of the institute. You can sit there and meditate for long hours. Other than that you'll find a little shop selling all kind of Tibet clothes, souvenirs, and incense products. All the items are made in-house by local artisans. The 'museum' in the monastery was the most fascinating part for me. The museum precisely explains the Tibet culture and several Tibet mythologies. You can read the boards around to get detailed description of every element included in the museum. Overall, it was a knowledgeable, serene, and beautiful experience visiting Norbulingka Institute. Lastly, don't forget to rotate the giant prayer wheels in the monastery for some good vibes.

I stayed in Dharamshala for three days, and every day for some reason I found myself drawn to this beautiful Monastery/Institute. The peace and serenity is out of this world. Among all the monasteries in Dharamshala or McLeodganj, I liked this one the most. You can sit in front of the Buddha, in a huge room and just pray, or just be quiet and try and find the inner peace. Please do visit. They also have a lovely cafe (the mud pie slice cake is to die for!). You'll also meet several dogs here who have also taken refuge under the Tibetan kindness.

Really great and peaceful place. They provide a guide free of cost which will help you to understand the place in a better way. The guide started from the entrance where there were 4-5 gods about whom the guide explained well. After that we went to see the wooden workshop where the skilled artists were creating there artwork. Don't try to touch and feel the artwork. The guide will give you a properly finished piece of art to touch and feel it. After that we went to see Thanga painting workshops where first we went to the newbie section where the rookies were practicing the Thangka Painting then we went to the Senior section where we had to remove our shoes after that we went to another arts section where they cut different cloth pieces and sew them together to make the artwork. After that we went to the museum where different themes and stories of Tibetan culture was represented. After that we went to the main monastery which was very peaceful and calm. On the first floor you can see various Tibetan literature and Statues. After that we went to the shop centre where you can buy the finished artworks from the artists. The sound of water flowing everywhere was very soothing. A must visit place. There are also places to eat and stay here which you can try as per your need. Washrooms were available and were clean.

The best place to introduce Tibetan culture and crafts. Full of soul, built with love and attention to details. People are amazing there. You can sneak and explore everything you want, attend numerous workshops and buy fine handmade goods. Temple is very calm and peaceful with astonishing masterpieces inside. Entrance fee is 110 only with guide.

A serene and beautiful place for learning about the Tibetan arts and crafts. The place has a guest house, coffee shop, a restaurant, many workshops, a traditional doll museum, an impressive and awe inspiring temple, and a posh retail outlet which showcases the work of the artists. This must be on the visit list for all Dharamshala bound Tibetan enthusiasts to get a feel for the vibrant art and culture of Tibet, being so painstakingly preserved in this institute.

It is a must visit place. Very beautiful and calm. There is also a cafe to sit, relax and eat, And an art gallery/shop with beautiful items and artworks. Tickets - 50 INR/person

This spot can be avoided.Though lots of space is given to this institute,from a tourist point of view,the only monastery is there.Rest are classes for art,painting,and weaving clothes. You hardly get proper information. Ticket=50 rs time till 7 pm. Route map to explore is given in photos

Most beautiful monastery I've ever seen. Beautifully preserved Tibetan culture. The art workshops are totally worth it. There's an entry fee but you'll love this place. Surrounded by lush green trees and plants, beautiful flowers, good and positive vibes. There are shops and a doll museum about Tibetan culture. I just can't get enough of this place. Must visit!

Visiting Norbulingka Institute in Dharamshala was an absolute delight! This unique institute is a beacon of Tibetan arts and culture preservation, and I can't recommend it enough. Allocate 3 to 4 hours for your visit to truly immerse yourself in all it has to offer. The ambiance here is serene and captivating, providing an unparalleled opportunity to explore and understand Tibetan culture. The presence of the monastery adds a spiritual touch, enhancing the overall experience. One of the highlights for me was the Doll Museum, a true treasure trove of meticulously crafted Tibetan dolls. Each doll tells a story, adorned in traditional costumes that beautifully reflect the rich heritage and customs of the region. The attention to detail is simply astounding. Moreover, witnessing local artisans in action was a memorable experience. Their craftsmanship is awe-inspiring, and it's fascinating to see them at work. The institute also boasts a classy shopping center where you can find a wide array of cultural artifacts. While the artisanal products are exquisite, it's worth noting that they can be on the pricier side. To top it all off, the cool cafe within the institute is a perfect spot to relax and soak in the ambiance. Whether you're enjoying a cup of tea or savoring a snack, it complements the overall atmosphere wonderfully. With an entry fee of just 50 INR, Norbulingka Institute offers incredible value for the enriching experience it provides. I highly recommend adding it to your itinerary while in Dharamshala. You won't be disappointed!

This is a beautiful place. Very soothing. Very nice restaurant and cafe inside. Ticket cost is Rs 50. Very green and nice place. You can see all their art work and collection - from metal and woodwork to painting and basically all forms of art & craft that one might be interested in. There's a shop on the inside too. Also, this place has rooms if you wish to stay here. Would be quite a peaceful stay indeed.

The place is a must visit if you appreciate art and culture. The institute teaches various art skills like wood working, drawing painting stitching to students. This art is typical of the Tibetan culture and exquisite in style. The place is quite beautiful and it’s a zen experience being here. There is a temple with huge Budha statue and a doll museum. They also have a restaurant and cafe serving you clean good foot. Their shop sells all the art products.

I must say this is a true place to retreat. However some costly, but it is necessary to pay for. It contains the big statue of lord Buddha, very energising very auspicious very spiritual. There is so much of peace that u can hear the blow of wind, bird chirps. No words to express. Namo Buddhay

Nice place to visit. Quiet place to sit for sometime and get your thoughts together. Interesting to see the hard work goes behind the different Tibetian arts and you can see all the artist preparing lots of stuff although all are very very costly. It also has nice cafe and restaurant. Recommended place to visit.

Beautiful stadium dhauldhar range are visible in case of clear sky. Architecture of stadium is the main highlight. It was our first ever visit to any cricket stadium. One must visit this place Above 5 years ticket is rs 30. Maintenance point washrooms need maintenance and upgrade..

The day light view of the mountains is awesome. management is good they are managing huge crowd. Seats are comfortable (2-3 Hours ) but not for too long. The mountain scenic view is eye pleasing. I was visited on Non Match Day.

The most gorgeous stadium of India. The stadium is at the best location. Surrounded by the snowclad mountains. The capacity isn't huge. I just love watching cricket here with the cold breeze and mountain. What I miss the most is the gallery or a museum to know more information about the stadium.

World's best cricket stadium, such a beautiful natural heaven. A must watch place for cricket and nature lovers. Easy to access by road, train or by air.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the HPCA Dharamshala Cricket Stadium and I must say it was a breathtaking experience. Not only is this stadium one of the most beautiful cricket venues in the world, it also offers stunning views of the mighty Dhauladhar ranges. The combination of cricket and natural beauty was truly unforgettable. The facilities at the stadium were top-notch, with plenty of seating options to choose from and a welcoming atmosphere. I would highly recommend visiting this stadium to anyone who loves cricket and wants to enjoy a picturesque backdrop while they watch the game. I would rate this stadium a solid 5 out of 5 stars!"

Beautiful stadium located in middle of the hills 🤩 Whenever you get a chance to watch a match there just say yes! You’ll have your amazing once in a lifetime cricket experience there. The stadium is small and always open for visitors during day hours. The association charge ₹30 per ticket to visit the stadium. P.S: You can also go there with your dog :) but not during the match.

HEAVEN FOR CRICKET LOVERS 🏏 No doubt, HPCA is one of the most beautiful and scenic cricket stadiums of the world. If you're lucky, a cloudy weather can make the stadium look more gorgeous. The mountains of Himachal surrounding the stadium makes it look out of the world. The entry is very cheap and there is only one side of the stadium which is open for the tourists. The best part, there is no time limit of the visit, so you can enjoy the vibes as much as you want. A must visit place in Dharamshala.

HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala turned out to be an interesting visit for us. The stadium, set against the backdrop of scenic mountains, creates a unique vibe. Even if you're not a big cricket fan, the location itself is worth checking out. The view from the stadium is pretty spectacular, making it a good stop during our time in Dharamshala.

Dharamshala Stadium: A Cricket Experience in Paradise The Dharamshala Stadium is more than just a cricket ground; it's an experience. Nestled amidst the majestic Dhauladhar mountains, the stadium offers breathtaking views that are unmatched by any other cricket venue in the world. Stunning Surroundings As you enter the stadium, you're greeted by a panoramic view of the snow-capped peaks. The lush green outfield and the colorful stands create a picture-perfect setting for a game of cricket. Overall Impression Whether you're a die-hard cricket fan or simply a nature lover, the Dharamshala Stadium is a must-visit. It's a place where you can create lasting memories and experience the beauty of the Himalayas. Tips for Fellow Visitors * If you're planning to attend a match, be sure to book your tickets well in advance as they tend to sell out quickly. * The weather in Dharamshala can be unpredictable, so pack accordingly. * Don't forget to bring your camera to capture the stunning views.

I've always seen the stadium on TV. But, when I got a chance to visit it in reality, I observed that the stadium is even more beautiful. It is situated on a long height of 1457m. The views of the Dhauladhar mountain ranges from the stadium, especially in winters covered with snow, is mesmerizing. You can sit for hours with those scenery. You've to take tourists tickets (Rs. 30 per person as of Feb 24) to visit the stadium on non-match days. The entry for tourists is allowed from Gate 2 (not on Google Maps). You've to ask from some locals as the gate is located inside a small road.

Very good stadium. I must say the only one to feel and be closer to the ground. You can see the players at long off, long on at a distance of 10 meters. The view is amazing from the east and south block stands. My seat was at north block so Dhauladhar range was at the back.

The HPCA Cricket Stadium boasts unparalleled vistas of the majestic Dhauladhar Range. With its snow-capped peaks and lush greenery, the scenery is simply breathtaking. Gazing at the towering mountains from the stadium creates an unforgettable experience, adding a touch of grandeur to every moment spent there. I went there from Mcleod Ganj using the Dharamshala Skyway, which added a lot to the entire experience. After entering the stadium, I sat there for a while enjoying the cool breeze, which was absolutely awesome. Must visit!

One of the oldest temples in Himachal Pradesh. Visit the temple early in the morning to avoid a rush. There is one swimming pool on the back side of the temple. Also there is one waterfall to the back side of the temple. Need to trek around 1 km to reach that place

Bhgsunaag temple is little bit far ,,you have to take taxi or auto or you can go by foot,, there is a temple there of bhgsunag ji and fresh water directly form the mountain come here where you can take bath ,,,, there is an waterfall for which you had to go only by foot ,,,but beside this ,,this place is very peacefull and full of positivity..

Very beautiful Temple in the lap of beautiful mountains.... There is cafe side by.. Washroom facilities are also there. There is very beautiful market near by temple.

Nice authentic temple with a swimming pool. Often crowded. Avoid on the weekend as it is getting seriously popular among Indian tourists who come from all around to visit, and if you going there from MacleodGanj, you might get stuck in a horrible traffic jam! . From the temple there is a very nice hike towards the water fall. Again!! AVOID GOING THERE ON A WEEKEND 😉

Such a beautiful place to find peace and worship here. It also has a fascinating view from the temple. Spend some time with yourself here, it qlso has a waterfall which is kind of trek to reach there, but nothing specual about thay waterfall, you can even skip it. But temple is a must visit

It was not worth the hype. The temple is small. Not managed well.Pandit ji was there but special puja are not done fyi. The only good part was the clean pool adjacent to it. Surprisingly many people are using it. Overall not worth a visit to this place ,but we were here for 5 days so had some spare time. The waterfall can hardly be called so and nothing great about it. After the Triund trek this was a disappointing trek. Takes 30 mins to climb up from the temple to the waterfall . There is zip lining too in case that interests.

Very old and beautiful temple. Steps are a bit steep. Well maintained and kept clean. There is a market nearby and swimming pool in front of it. Dirt road to get to Bhagsu Nag Waterfall starts after this temple. There is seating area outside the temple by the side of swimming pool with couple of street food joints to enjoy your evening snacks and tea.

A Shiv Temple with an amazing ancient history is really felt when you visit this awesome Shiv Mandir. Beautiful mountains, Holy Kund, nearby market ,cafe and the waterfall are major attractions which fill your heart again to the fullest. The backside of temple has a good view. The overall experience of temple is very soothing and satiates from within.

You can visit this place. This is a temple. There is one waterfall near this temple. You have to walk to visit the waterfall. There is a swimming pool. But due to civid, swimming is not allowed. You can find one sweet which is called as rose cake. That tastes like half soan papdi half gajak

Bhagsu nag temple and Waterfall is must visit place.. The way is extremely amazing... covered with foge and lots of Nature...you feels like you are in clouds... The most beautiful Bhagsu nag waterfall is after the temple via a 1 km trek...but it's amazing place...

Lord Shiva has many names and Bhagsu Naag is one of them. The temple is situated in a limited area but the temple premise is beautiful. One can even take a bath (snan) in the pool of fresh water coming directly from the Bhagsu Fall. I would recommend visiting early in the morning, as later on you may find it crowded.

Bhagsunath Temple, Kangra A medieval shrine, Bhagsunath is Shiva Temple situated about 3kms from Mcleodganj. The temple has been highly revered by the Hindus and the Gorkha Community. The sacred shrine is famed for its two pools that are believed to have healing properties. The best time to visit Bhagsunath Temple is during the annual fair that takes place here in the month of September. The Dal Lake, Kotwali Bazaar and Bhagsu Fall are the main attractions around this holy shrine. History:The legend has that King Bhagsu built this temple after seeking forgiveness from Snake God. It is believed that Nag Devta was raged in anger as King Bhagsu stole water from the sacred Nag Dal Lake here. Later, the king repented and built the temple in reverence to Nag Devta. According to another legend, this shrine was the patronage of a specific Gorkha community called Bhagsuwala (after the God Bhagsunag). It is also believed that these rulers built the two pools of water here with tiger-head spouts. A double-story wooden house for pilgrims was also built by them.

Bhagsu Naag temple is a beautiful and peaceful temple. The architecture is stunning, and the atmosphere is very calming. I would recommend visiting this temple if you are in McLeod Ganj The temple is a great place to come and relax and escape the hustle and bustle of McLeod Ganj. The atmosphere is very peaceful, and the temple itself is beautiful. I would recommend visiting this temple if you are in the area."

A small temple of lord Shiva situated at Mcleodgunj. A clean pool situated adjacent of temple you can bath there. There is a Waterfall backside of temple in the name of Bhagsunag. Both are tourist attraction of Mcleodgunj.

Bhagsunath Temple in Dharamshala is a peaceful and beautiful place. Surrounded by hills, it has an ancient feel. Whether you're there to pray or just enjoy the atmosphere, it's a serene spot. The mix of culture and nature makes it a must-visit in Dharamshala.

Awesome experience. Dip your hands and legs immersed. Chilled water. Did not see anybody jumping into the pool. Accumulated water at the other end had moss and could be dangerous. The temple itself has a very serene atmosphere dedicated to Lord Shiva, Snake God's, Shani Dev, Devi Maa, Lord Ganesh and Bhakt Shiromani Hanuman! From here there is an uphill trek towards Bhagsu Waterfall. Not much water now though due to reduced rains. Check before you venture. Lot of eateries nearby... You can spend 1-2 hours here. An auto from Mcleodganj rickshaw stand costs 70 bucks, Return you can easily walk down. Not more than 20 minutes.

Nestled amidst the serene mountains of Dharamshala, the temple exudes an aura of tranquility and devotion. As I approached the temple, I was captivated by its architectural beauty and the picturesque surroundings. Upon entering the temple premises, I was greeted by the soothing chants and prayers, which instantly filled me with a sense of peace and reverence. The atmosphere inside the temple was serene, with devotees offering their prayers and seeking blessings from the deity. The main deity, Lord Shiva, presides over the temple, and the sanctum sanctorum exudes a divine energy that is palpable to all who visit. The intricate carvings and vibrant paintings adorning the walls add to the temple's allure, showcasing the rich heritage and cultural significance of the region.

Har har Mahadev Bagshu nag temple dedicated to Lord Shiva is situated in the valley of Dharmshala Chamba district of Himanchal Pradesh India, such good vibe there. This is an historical place for Army during Indo China war Gorkha Rifles stay here and renovated this temple. Before this it has many more stories about their presence from ancient history of Hinduism.

The waterfalls are a wonderful trek. The temple is okay. We loved the trek to Shiva Cafe. The market here is much better than the actual market yard. You may find stuff slightly cheaper than the Mall Road or Markety road.

temple Temple is near to Macloadganj, just 10 minutes drive. Parking is big issue. Totally mismanagement. Temple is said to be very old and built by Army. People do take dip in flowing stream nearby and go further trekking to Bhagsu waterfall. Situated in the mid of street need to walk a while . Lots of street vendors

A very beautiful temple just 10 mins from the main market of Mcleodganj. Lovely architecture and very well maintained. The temple was so clean. Many food joints are also there outside the temple. A small trek of 30 mins to Bhagsu Nath Waterfall starts from here.

This church is one of the must visit place in Mclodeganj. Truly it's in wilderness and surrounded by the long trees. Amidst the nature this church is standing with its own beauty. The vibe is very peaceful and calm. You can spend hours here if you are looking for solace. While I visited this place in March 2019 there was not much crowd. It was really a nice visit.

Its a beautiful church in the middle of forest. A must visit place and take a long breath with a peaceful mind. Your mind is going to feel relaxed and your wishes may come true. Good maintained church. There was a warning sign 'Not to click' pictures inside the chuch however the guard seems busy in watching video on a mobile and people were taking photograph. Though people enjoy taking picture inside but this is surely not good for such a heritage place.

It's really in the wilderness. Surrounded by the tall thick coniferous forest. Descent place for photography if you want to give some old,Rusty,vintage look to your photograph. You can also find Yak Rides at the entry gate of church premises.After all, its nice place with nice Surrounding.

Very peaceful and quite place amidst the wilderness. It's a very old church surrounded by tall pine trees. Good place to photography. It's very calm and peaceful. Good way to spend time here. Parking is available.

The St. John church is very near to Mcleodganj bus stand and can be reached here on a walk. There is no entry ticket, thus all travelers make a visit here. The church is definitely in the wilderness and surrounded by large trees and jungle. I went during mid Dec and it was hot and the church was closed due to the maintenance work. And thus I felt there's not much to see, maybe after the snow it has it's own charm. Go and visit the church.

Lovely feeling. This old church built in gothic structure in the calm and quiet Mcleodganj takes us back to a bygone era. You can sit inside for some time and feel the peace. But if history or architecture does not excite you, then you may not find this interesting.

very peaceful and less crowded. Nestled amidst the enchanting landscapes of McLeod Ganj, the Church of St. John in the Wilderness stands as a testament to the region's colonial history. Constructed in 1852, this Anglican church is surrounded by deodar trees, creating an idyllic setting for reflection and prayer. The church owes its name to St. John the Baptist and was built in neo-Gothic architectural style. Its grey stone structure and stained glass windows evoke a sense of historical charm. Visitors are drawn to the peaceful atmosphere, as the church stands as a solitary guardian amidst the natural beauty of the Dhauladhar Range. Inside, the church features beautiful Belgian stained glass windows depicting biblical scenes. The old graveyard adjacent to the church adds a touch of mystique, with weathered tombstones marking the final resting place of British soldiers from the 19th century. The Church of St. John in the Wilderness serves not only as a place of worship but also as a historical landmark that allows visitors to connect with the colonial past of McLeod Ganj. It remains a serene retreat for those seeking solace and a glimpse into the region's rich cultural heritage.

It's a beautiful church near macleodganj. Will give some peaceful vibes. It is absolutely likely the one we see in movies. Full on Greenery and beautiful landscapes. It is free of any charges. You can enter the premises anytime between 9am-6pm. Parking is available as roadside parking right in front of the church. You can go inside the church also but taking pictures is not allowed. Must visit if you are going near Macleodganj or dharamshala

I personally never rate any religious place. You will definitely find peace here. Also, as it name says 'In the wilderness' so you will see forest kind area around it. May God bless all ✝️

It's a simple old church from 1850s I believe. In a very accessible area, which saddens me a bit as we walked till here and people can and earlier people used to, but they made roads now, so as usual crowded. Anyway, it's a simple church which accepts all faith and even had some books inside with gurmukhi, Urdu, Hindi etc.

Contrary to the image in my mind its no dark, dreary place. Its an excellent building at an astounding atmosphere. Built in 1852 with an imposing tower it blends into the surrounding vegetation of tall and ancient, dark pine/cedar forest. Erected in the memory of a Viceroy by his widow, his tomb nearby is protected by ASI. The stained glass work inside is awesome. This magnificent church is now under Church of North India (Amritsar diocese). Its was a great experience to attend the Palm Sunday service here (2023).

A pristine church at the serene wilderness aside the road. The church is made of stone masonry with sloping roof. The surroundings are so beautiful with tall pine trees and the sound of crickets.

It's a very gorgeous old style gothic church⛪ in Mcleodganj. Very peaceful and beautiful vibes you get here. The interiors are very lovely. It is surrounded by very dense forest🌲. Must visit attraction.

Beautiful colonial cathedral, surrounded by big park and 19th century cemetry. Outstanding monument of Victorian era. The building of church itself saved its original neogothic architecture, except the modernized roof, which doesn't suit the composition at all. Thumb of viceroy of India behind the church appears a sculptural masterpiece. Cemety is placed on the east side of church in the shade of 200-year old himalayan deodars. The area has flowering, stone pathways and WC, but definately needs better maintenance, including more benches, dustbins and information boards. The gravestones are not taken care of as well.

Ancient church in Mcleodgunj situated in dark pine forest. The greenery surrounding the church creating a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.The stained glass work inside is awesome.This magnificent church is under Church of North India(CNI). There is no entry fee.

We visited the church on 14th Feb, 2024 on our tip to McLeodGanj. Its a beautiful church located in the middle of forest. There were few people on the day we visited. We need to park the vehicle outside the main campus and then walk a bit of slope to reach the main church. Very beautiful and we get colonial vibes here. At the back side there are nice views of forest all around. Should avoid visiting after 6 pm considering it gets dark and there is less visibility because of lights.

It's an old Gothic style church. Not very big. But the location is beautiful. Surrounded by trees and hills. Opposite the church there was a bio park mostly for kids and some huts to rest ,which we didn't go to to. This was more of a stop over on our way to McLeod from Naddi. Place for some pics!

The Kalachakra Temple, located in McLeod Ganj, Dharamshala, India, is a significant religious site in Tibetan Buddhism. Constructed in 1992, it stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Tibetan people who sought refuge in India, particularly in the region of Himachal Pradesh, following the Chinese occupation of Tibet in 1959. The temple is adorned with traditional Tibetan architecture, featuring vibrant colours and intricate designs. Its name, "Kalachakra," translates to "Wheel of Time," symbolising the cycle of existence and the teachings of Buddha on time, space, and existence. The temple serves as a centre for the practice of Kalachakra Tantra, a complex system of Buddhist philosophy and meditation aimed at enlightenment. It hosts various religious ceremonies, teachings, and meditation retreats throughout the year, drawing devotees and spiritual seekers from around the world. With its serene ambiance and majestic views of the surrounding Himalayan mountains, the Kalachakra Temple not only serves as a place of worship but also as a spiritual sanctuary for those seeking solace and enlightenment in the teachings of Tibetan Buddhism.

Easy to find twixt the two main market streets. Climb up narrow stairs past colourful stupa,through door,onto roof and up stairs to little temple and VIEW! Follow round the prayer wheels and chant clockwise,at street level.

Lovely place, a must see view from the rooftop and a very big stupa inside. Also, outside there are the prayer wheels that one should turn, and in an adjacent room, a full sized prayer wheel, also that one should turn for the benefit of all sentient beings.

The temple complex is the renowned abode of his holiness the Dalai Lama. The teachings take place here and if you love peaceful and calm environment you should definately visit the place

A beautiful temple/monastery dedicated to kalchakra. Just near the main McLeod Ganj market, probably the first place one would visit in Mcleodganj. It is surrounded by various shops. I didn't go inside, but the place looked extremely beautiful from the outside.

Situated in d middle of McLeod-ganj market.... U cn easily visit der whn u r going to xplore d whole markt... Beautiful Temple 👌👌👌❤️❤️

Very beautiful temple, inside and also outside. Super central location … 🙏🕉💕🇮🇳

The temple is beautiful, but is overshadowed by the ruckus of the adjacent road. It's a very short visit to the building which will finish in 10 minutes. in 3 floors, the building is adorned well, but spaces are narrow and just enough for the monks to move around.

Go to the rooftop for a beautiful view. Try always to move clockwise. When puja is held, go in and sit on the floor ☕️

This temple is kind of small monaestry. It's located in Mcleodganj main market. This place is full of peace and positive vibes. This place does not have ample space of parking which might be challenging if you are visiting this place by your car. You need 15-20mins to explore the place.

Beautiful and place full of positive energy. Must recommend to visit

A decent temple on the second floor of a large Buddhist complex. The temple itself is quite small and in a small corner. The good thing is you can explore the whole complex except the temple itself without taking your shoes off -- a boon in the January chill.

It is a very small monestry. The mural inside are detailed and colourful. The stupa is located inside the monestry. There are steps to climb and so avoid it if one cannot climb. It is little far from the Dalai Lama monestry so I advice to take the vehical from there to main monestry. The chanting by monks make it more serene. There are no charges to visit the monestry. There is no parking nearby.

Peaceful sanctuary for meditation and spiritual reflection

The Tibetan museum is a good museum which gives us about the history of the Tibetan Buddhist monks. At the entrance of museum a granite memorial is placed to tell about the sacrifices of monks. We can see the pictures of various monks who are killed by the Chinese army brutally in the walls of the museum. It is located beside the Dalailama Temple which has many monuments and many Buddhist monks live in there. We can know about their daily living activities and the offerings to the God are quite strange. The offer cookies, chocolates and dry fruits to the God. I didn't see any temple where these kinds of offerings are made. There is a huge divine roll present in a room and we can roll it with our hands and there are some writings on it which I didn't understand that time.

The Tibet Museum is situated at the entrance of the main Dalai Lama Temple in McleodGanj. This museum is not a very big in size, but has some important display of Tibetan history and uprising of the Tibetan movement. Half an hour is sufficient for this place and one should visit to know more about the Tibetan cause and movement.

This museum is located in the heart of Central Tibetan Administration. Quiet and peaceful place where you can learn the brief history of Tibet in couple of hours! After your visit, you came to realize that the conflict between Tibet and China is a civilizational conflict between two ancient nations. It is not a majority and minority issue within a nation rather an issue of colonization and decolonization! Plus visitors should read 100 questions to the Dalaï Lama! I am sure you would feel enlightened after reading it!

It's the best place to know about Tibetan culture, stories of exile and their struggle for freedom. I got to know many things from this place, and would definitely recommend it to the ones who are interested in knowing many things about the Tibetans & DalaiLama.

The museum have huge collection to describe the history of Tibet (Specifically Tibetan people' struggle after annexation of Tibet,Some stories portrayed here seem a bit overtly biased. There is a documentary film shown here at 11 and and 3 pm.

Good story telling and stylish decoration but still capture the authenticity of Tibetan. Many of pictures and information is rare.

But waste of time for me

This place needs an entire day at the least.

It's a must-visit place for everyone who wants to learn about Tibet. It's such a beautiful effort by the Tibetans to showcase their bit to the world. Enjoy!

The museum displays a detailed history of the Tibetans in exile in India, how and why they had to leave Tibet and come here. It also has exhibits and films about the costumes and food of Tibetans. Another section shows the contributions of Tibetans to literature, music, art etc.

What is this place? It's a hilltop which gives a nice view of the sun setting among the mountains. People gather to give it a fun atmosphere. There's food options through small restaurants and shacks nearby. Sunset gives some great spectacular views but that's it.

This mountain viewpoint offers a mesmerizing sunset experience, providing a soothing escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The panoramic vista is breathtaking, with the sun painting the sky in vibrant hues as it dips below the horizon. Whether you're a nature enthusiast or seeking a peaceful retreat, this viewpoint promises a memorable and rejuvenating experience.

Calm and Serene are the two words that can be used to describe this site. Beautiful valley covered by mountains and greenery, you can see the Dauladhar ranges from here. Also has a seperate sunset point where you can stay for some time to enjoy the peaceful view and have some snacks. You can see triund , waterfall , temple , village and few other points through a telescope.

So, I visited at the start of October which is also the start of Autumn which means colder weather, and early sunrise which was ideal for this type of tourist-based place. In the late winter, the snow & extreme weather might not be as pleasant while in summer, you'll have to wait until 7:00 PM or later for it. You can get some lovely photos, and click some lovely photos as well as enjoy the Rs. 10 Telescope to see a waterfall, a temple, and some other points in the mountain range.

Situated further up from Dal Lake. Originally people visited here for the temple, now it is famous for the viewpoint. View from this place is amazing. Do pay 10/- for the telescope to view snow mountains, small waterfall and a temple which are hard to spot. There are good Hotels in the vicinity to stay away from crowd of Mcleodganj.

It’s a view point , you have to drive around 10-15 min up hills from McLeodganj . But the view is beautiful. It’s a long walk path way to see the hills and views. We visited in morning people say sunset views are mesmerising. So many food options are also there . Photogenic place. Keep safe your self and don’t go near to side of the road hill facing .

Worth a visit, so picturesque . We went during the sunset , the snow peaks were shining like glittery gold. I could spend all evening in front of that view. There are few Maggi & tea points. You also have two folks with binoculars and would show you Triund trek, camp, temple and a waterfall for 20₹. We rented a bike for 600₹ full day and took a trip to Triund trek and naddi point. Quite worth it.

very scenic. Naddi Viewpoint in Himachal Pradesh is a breathtaking escape into nature's grandeur. Perched on the hills, it offers a mesmerizing panoramic view that captivates the soul. The serenity of the surroundings and the crisp mountain air create a tranquil atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for those seeking solace. Naddi Viewpoint is a photographic marvel, capturing the essence of the majestic Himalayas. A visit here guarantees not just a view but an experience that etches itself into your memory.

We went there to see Sunset and the view is mind blowing.. peace, bird chirpings, cool breeze, pizza, good music.. ☺️ At a distance of 4km from macleodganj square and just 2km from st. John church and less than a kilometer from dal lake.

Beautiful view point, the quotes written on the trail were so thoughtful and added relevance to the place. Go to find and just breathe, live in momeng - watch the Himalayas, lush green trees, listen to the birds, noise of the forest and come back stronger. PS - Don’t litter and carry your own bottle :)

Naddi offers you a great view of close range mystic Dhauladhar. It seems to appear at a stone's throw distance and is a great place for enjoying the beauty of the mountains

It It is an amazing view point Naddi View point. We can see snowy topped mountains very cleary from this point. Only thing is there should not be clouds. Sky should be clear. It is an beautiful view from here.

The view from this place is magical, mesmerizing and spectacular. The snow capped mountain appears within touching distance. The other side of the hilltop which gives a nice view of the sunset among the mountains. People gather to give it a fun atmosphere. There are food options through small restaurants which provide food and snacks (a little bit higher price) but Sunset gives some great spectacular views.

Mesmerizing view of breathtaking natural beauty in Naddi, Mccleodganj. Sky transforms into a canvas of vibrant hues with snow-peaked ranges of Dhauladhar adorned with dense forest.Mind immerse in the tranquility of nature.

Mountains are the best ways to rejuvenate and bring clarity into your life. Until next time. God bless 🙌

Best place to with your partner, amazing views and streat food is awesome. You could also buy stuff from there. I specifically like rhe telescope 🔭 that we can use ro see Triund trek and other places just from Naddi view point.

It’s one of the most beautiful view points in all of Dharamsala and Mcleodganj. The entire snow clad Dhauladhar range can be seen from Naddi in all its glory and how hence also doubling up as the most picturesque spot. Just a minute’s walk away from the view point is also the famed Naddi sunset point.

A visit is highly recommended – the place is incredibly picturesque, located just 5 kilometers from McLeod Ganj's main square. The best time to go is at sunset when the snow-capped mountains glow in golden red hues. Opting for a scooter over a car is advisable due to the narrow roads. Few maggi points and small shops offer a chance to savor food while soaking in the beautiful scenery. Plan to arrive before 5:30 for the sunset view. No entrance tickets are required; you can pay Rs. 10 to locals with binoculars to glimpse the Triund trek, waterfall, temple, and more. If you're in McLeod Ganj, this spot is a must-visit. You can also visit Dal lake on the way

A typical Buddhist monastery with few rooms for guests...located in absolute silence and solace... amid thick woods just off the main mcleodganj... i loved the way through the quite jungle...excellent atmosphere.... but would not recommend for pure touristic purpose

Nice and quite monastery Slightly difficult to reach, have to climb down 400 steps However very peaceful and right between the forest away from all kind of disturbances

It's just amazing monastery amidst mountain forest. Around 1 km away from the Macleod Ganja main square. So peaceful and silent place almost away from any marketism and crowd.

Dip Tse Chok Ling Monastery located Camel Track Road 200 m from Mcleodganj Bus stand & 9 km from Dharmshala Himachal Pradesh. Monastery was Established by Yongzin Yeshi Gyaitsen, tutor to H. H. The 8th Dalai Lama.

This small monastery is situated near Dalai Lama temple, but little down from main road. They are monks and guest house too!

Most lovely place

Beautiful valley. Nice tourist place. Must visit place to explore the beauty of nature in Himalayas.

Real Feelings of Natural Facts. Every Single Out Step Realises the Purity and Wellness.

This valley is just mesmerising, you can sip your tea at a far distance and yet see clouds passing by, a beautiful sunrise between the mountains and a beautiful sunset between the mountains. The kangra tea is also special, you can try that while watching the beautiful view. The magnificent thing about this valley is that you have a incredible view from hill top and you can watch this valley while paragliding. The waterfalls here are breathtaking. You can go there with your family, friends, relatives, partner, or solo. I went for a solo trip there and I felt safe, so this valley is also friendly and supportive.

Its a stunning place with lovely fort. The ramparts have a story to tell. This place is a must visit if you are interested in forts. The valley is expansive and has lot of photography points. Though there are no human guides, at the entrance they rent out audio guides for Rs 120 a piece.

Butiful nature of the india

Kangra green valley is also beautiful location

Nice place for family outing ..1-2 hrs picnic .Houses a garden , play area, museum (separate ticket 20 rs) and rest rooms . Garden is big and contains variety of flowers ,pine trees,well maintained with a map of India in stones, 2 bridges and several war memorabilia /statues . It also houses a play area with slides , swings and roller coasters. Museum has audio guide and av aids for further details . Was undergoing renovations in parts at this time . It also has rest rooms and drinking water facility.

Not worth a visit if you have high expectations. Except for the memorial of the fallen soldiers put up in the middle, nothing much is there to see. There is a dilapidated submarine model and the Indian map made with stone and coloured. Its more of a park. Though there is an entry fee as well as parking fee, but its reasonable.

Visiting the State War Memorial was a moving experience. I especially liked the Indian map made with various colors. The atmosphere was calm, surrounded by nature. It's easy to get there by bus from anywhere in the city. They have rest chairs and washrooms available. It's a simple yet powerful reminder of our nation's heroes, the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for our freedom, and why it's important to for us to honor them. I definitely recommend visiting the State War Memorial in Dharamshala.

The Main Monument consists of three curved walls in black marble bearing the inscribed names of the those who laid down their lives in the service of the motherland on five of their faces and a mural on the sixth. Rising from a circular shallow pool having a central bowl and twenty one water jets, these walls signify the three wings of the armed forces, while their curved shape indicates the continuity and onward movement of human and national life. The beds of pink, red and white roses along the circumambulatory path around the wall, however, depict childhood, youth and old age and subsequent death of an individual. A person dies but the nation and mankind live on. The mural symbolizes the flame of national freedom. The stout arms are holding it aloft, our heroes are making a determined effort to keep it ever high and ever burning and while doing so, are achieving martyrdom. Garlands and medals around them represent a grateful nation’s gratitude to them.

Amazing place to explore in Dharamshala, 1. 20 rs ticket for per person, 2. Parking is available inside and you can park the vehicle on outside road also. 3. Awesome water fountain 4. Children park is there for children to have fun

Memorial garden to pay tribute to all the soldiers who gave up their lives fighting the war saving us. Minimal charge of rs.20 to enter. The museum remains closed on Sunday. The park is very well maintained. Has parking available. Washrooms and water available too. Open serene place to watch the senic mountain view and the lush green pine trees. There are fountains and flowers that makes it more beautiful. There is a wall remebering all the soliders. There is even a children's park for kids to have a good time along with learning about our martyrs.

War Memorial is an important place to see in Dharamshala. There is a memorial built at the entry point of Dharamshala in memory of those who fought to protect the motherland. The place has beautiful surroundings. Well maintained by local authorities. Variety of flowers in garden. The war memorial was built to commemorate the memories of those who lost their lives to save the motherland. There is a lovely map depicting the various regions of India. The memorial itself is lovely with tall granite walls detailing all those that lost their lives.

Garden is big and contains variety of flowers ,pine trees,well maintained with a map of India in stones, 2 bridges and several war memorabilia /statues .

This is an excellent place to visit in Dharamshala. Very easy to reach here. Here you can see the lot of greenery. Here a tank stand near front gate. This tank was from Pakistan which was left by India - Pakistan war in 1965. On the back side of this park, you can feel of forest and a river is falling there. Very peaceful place.

State war memorial at dharmshala kangra Himachal Pradesh A must visit place for every individual to know the price of peace full life we are having The supreme sacrifice by the armed forces

Visiting a war memorial is always gives goosebumps. Really saluting that brave heros who sacrifice their life for our better tomorrow. This place is so silent and peaceful. One of the must visit place if you coming to Dharamshala. There's entry fee for ₹20/- for adult and Children above five years.. They made Small park for Children also.

Good place. Tribute to Kargil war heroes. If you are on vacation this place will take about half an hour to cover. A good flower plantation makes this place beautiful.

War Memorial is an important place to see in Dharamshala. This monument is located in the deodar forests near the city, and the place is worth seeing. There is a memorial built at the entry point of Dharamshala in memory of those who fought to protect the motherland.The place has beautiful surroundings.

A memorial constructed to honour the war heroes from Himachal. Enough parking is provided. Also visit the museum located right next door (separate entrance fee required). The cataloguing and listing is rather informative. A must visit place when in Dharamshala.

The State War Memorial in Dharamshala is a beautiful and serene place to pay your respects to the brave soldiers who have fought for our country. The memorial is located in the heart of the city and is easily accessible. The entrance fee is minimal and there is ample parking available. The memorial itself is well-maintained and beautifully landscaped. There are walls with the names of the fallen soldiers, a museum that tells the story of the wars, and a tank and an airplane on display. There is also a children's park where families can relax and enjoy the outdoors.

A beautiful tribute for our brave fallen heroes who laid their lives for us. The place is silent and soothing as if the nature itself is paying homage to the mountain heroes. Do visit here because every person directly or indirectly is under the debt of those martyrs. Lush green surroundings, tall- huge pine trees and beautifully arranged flowers are a perfect resort from our hustling lives to come and sit here to think about the supreme sacrifice of hundreds.

Though it's made in the memory of Our soldiers, it shows only names of them.Rest is garden with beautiful flowers.Ticket= 20 rs Time= 6 pm.Time to spend= 15 mins.You can avoid this spot,just see Google map photos,still all things are covered

I have goosebumps when I visited this place. There are two segments. One is outdoor section and one is Indore section. Both segments have entry fees of Rs. 10/- each. Everyone should spend more time in Indore section. Only one thing I'm little offended that Amar Jyoti is not flammable and not maintaining well.

I got a chance to visit War Memorial during my recent trip to Dharamshala on 16th Feb 2024. Its a tribute to all the soldiers who have sacrificed themselves for the nation. A well maintained and clean place. Entry charges are Rs 20 per person. All the names of the soldiers who fought during 1999 war have been mentioned here. One of them that we identified was Major Vikram Batra. There is Indian map in between which really stands out. Must visit place if you are in Dharamshala. You can easily spend 1.5-2 hrs here.

Just near to Dharamshala cricket stadium. A very well maintained memorial. There's a beautiful park for kids inside.

Nice way to spend time in town if you are here for 2 or more days One can easily spend 2-3 hrs, a nice stroll, history, and soaking in some nice air. If you're on a 1day visit, you can give this place a miss, as you have so many other things to do in town

The view of Himalayas is breathtaking. One can spend hours just looking through the architecture and details and colors of the building and whole complex. The moment you go inside, the very first look of the monastery will mesmerize anyone. This Buddhist monastery is a sanctuary of tranquility and spiritual enlightenment. Overall, this Buddhist monastery in the Himalayas is a haven for seekers of inner peace and wisdom. Its breathtaking natural surroundings, timeless architecture, and profound spiritual atmosphere make it a truly unforgettable destination for those on a journey of self-discovery.

Total peace of mind.. Very clean and excellently maintained. Surrounded by natural beauty. This was the first Tibetan University I ever saw. It was closed when we reached but upon request was immediately opened to allow us in the main hall. One can also visit the neighbouring garden.

It is one of the most beautiful and scenic monasteries that i have visited! It is located on the outskirts of Dharamshala! The monastery is very peaceful and you will feel tranquility after coming here. The main temple is large and very beautiful. You can easily reach here by any vehicle. One of the must visit monasteries in Dharamshala!

Don't underestimate the place from its entrance. The moment you go inside, the very first look of the monastery will mesmerize anyone. An architectural marvel, situated between the most beautiful and picturesque sights of snow covered mountains. The fact it is a religious place, you would also feel a sense of serenity and calmness from your heart to the soul. 🙏🏻

One of the best places to visit when in Dharamshala. I visited this on 15th Feb 2024. Once you enter the monastery, you will be amazed by the beauty and peace it offers. The mountains view in the backdrop is mesmerizing. You can easily spent time here. There are many Buddhist monks who reside here. Its rated as one of the best monasteries of the world. Very well maintained.

Lovely monastery surrounded by vibrant colours and flowers against the stunning background of the Dhauladhar ranges! We were lucky to witness an important prayer and the hymns were something very unique to experience.

It's an amazing experience: the place, the monks, and the serene atmosphere set in the backdrop of Dhauladhar mountains. If you are soul searching and looking for peace to ease your mind, make sure to go there between 6 am to 7:15 am. That's when you will hear the monks chanting prayers. Highly recommended.

Its a very peaceful and serene place, you can spot monks in their attires and all this look so beautiful. If not clouds you can visibly see the mountain ranges. It is amazing experience

Lot of greenry and a peaceful place. Cafe and resturants available inside the monestry. A meuseum is also there about doll creation in the ancient times. Also it has a small guest house stay with 10-12 rooms available on chargable basis. Entry in monestry is charged at a ticket of Rs 50

Very very nice monastery . The bright yellow colour of all the buildings gives the place a very bright and lively look . Also you can see many young children within the premises who are studying to become monks . The place is very peaceful . Inside the monastery it is forbidden to take pictures . The road leading up to the monastery is very narrow and creates a problem when there is another car in the opposite direction .

It was a very peaceful and serene experience...The Monastery is in the midst of the slight hustle you might face in the Dharamsala...it's extremely well maintained and a great place to take time off from regular schedule and visit ....interestingly the way it's built you will not know that its such a huge built structure until you enter

A monastery with a very vivid yet picturesque mountain line at the backdrop. A must visit when in and around Dharamshala. Buddhist enchantings fill the entire surrounding.

A beautiful monastery. Entrance on the main road can be missed cuz its small without any boards. Just a neat simple entrance.

Beautiful, mesmerizing, serene place at this yellow gold monastery. The view of the elevation with the backdrop of Himalayas is breathtaking. One can spend hours just looking through the architecture and details and colors of the building and whole building complex. The monks sitting inside monastery studying and humming mantras gives a spiritual goal to the visitors. Walk through the entrance aisle amidst the green plants feels like walking in some foreign location. It's a must visit monastery. There are religious symbols painted on the floors of the monastery in white chalk. Also there is a ramp to climb up the monastery with proper railing to hold on the left end of the monastery which takes u straight up the main hall. Wheelchairs accessibility is there. Best to visit is when whether is lil pleasant as there are not many shady areas to sit.

I love this place! Such a peaceful, clean, beautiful! For a while you forget that you are IN India. Such a Shanti atmosphere around. Monks are kind and polite, they explained us about the place. Told us little but their story - about life in tibet, What going on now and what they are expacting after. I recommend to everyone who feels close to tibetian culture

This church is one of the must visit place in Mclodeganj. Truly it's in wilderness and surrounded by the long trees. Amidst the nature this church is standing with its own beauty. The vibe is very peaceful and calm. You can spend hours here if you are looking for solace. While I visited this place in March 2019 there was not much crowd. It was really a nice visit.

Its a beautiful church in the middle of forest. A must visit place and take a long breath with a peaceful mind. Your mind is going to feel relaxed and your wishes may come true. Good maintained church. There was a warning sign 'Not to click' pictures inside the chuch however the guard seems busy in watching video on a mobile and people were taking photograph. Though people enjoy taking picture inside but this is surely not good for such a heritage place.

It's really in the wilderness. Surrounded by the tall thick coniferous forest. Descent place for photography if you want to give some old,Rusty,vintage look to your photograph. You can also find Yak Rides at the entry gate of church premises.After all, its nice place with nice Surrounding.
