Dharamshala & McLeod Ganj — 3 Nights / 4 Days Tour
Himachal Pradesh · Hill town — The seat of the Tibetan government in exile, and quite different in character from the rest of Himachal. McLeod Ganj above the main town is where visitors stay — monasteries, Tibetan food and a walk around the Dalai Lama temple complex. The Triund trek is the other draw and it is a genuine day hike rather than a stroll. Two nights is right unless you are trekking. This 3-night tour is built around the destination's key sights, priced on enquiry and tailored to your dates — the day-by-day below is a flexible framework, confirmed with you at quotation.
