McLeodganj Info

State: Himachal Pradesh Famous for/as: Hill

McLeodganj (McLeod Ganj or McLeodGanj) is a town situated in the Upper Dharamshala region of KangraDistrict of Himachal Pradesh. Surrounded by the Dhauladhar ranges, McLeodganj lies at an average altitude of1800 meters above sea level.

McLeodganj is famous for its Tibetan institutions and Buddhist monasteries. McLeodganj was the home of theGaddi tribe in its initial days. It was an integral territory of Katoch Dynasty, which is considered among the

worlds oldest royal families.

McLeodganj later came under the rule of the British and was named so, after Sir Donald Friell McLeod, who wasthe Lieutenant Governor of Punjab of British India (1865 1870). McLeodganj, though a summer resort of theBritish during the 1840s became a garrison town in the 1850s. It was transformed to a prominent commercial andpolitical centre, by the 1900s.

Post Indian Independence, McLeodganj served as a flourishing health resort till the 1950s. In the early 1960s, itbecame the official residence of the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso. It also became the headquarters to 'CentralTibetan Administration of His Holiness the Dalai Lama' (CTA), which is commonly referred to as the 'TibetanGovernment in Exile'. Today, McLeodganj, has transpired to become Little Lhasa or Dhasa, as it housesseveral Buddhist monasteries and a large population of Tibetan refugees.

The town of McLeodganj, surrounded by thick vegetation of oak, pine, deodar and rhododendron, is locatednearby the perennial snowline of the snowy Dhauladhar mountain ranges. Due to its elevation and thick forestcover, McLeodganj and its surrounding areas (Upper Dharamshala) are much cooler than its counterpart, LowerDharamshala.

McLeodganj, which still retains the old colonial charm, is a popular destination in Himachal Pradesh as the town isfamous for Tibetan Buddhism, culture, art and crafts. McLeodganj is also a major shopping centre famous forsouvenirs like Tibetan handicrafts, thangkas, Tibetan carpets, garments, wooden masks, metal votive objects,paper drawings, beads, baubles, etc.

McLeod Ganj really is a lovely town to just wander around. This is the view looking along on eof the main streetswith the Chorten and Prayer Wheels housed on the structure with the ornate roof. There are many shops sellingsouvenirs and things - most of the Tibetan ones are fixed price with little room for bargaining but there are manythat are owned by Kashmiri families or people from other parts of India and hard bargaining is essential here!

By the time we reached McLeod Ganj my friend and I slowed our place down - so we didn't really get out to all ofthe smaller Gompas and Temples in the town, these are all listed in reputable guidebooks and some sounded quiteinteresting. Instead we were content to sit in the sun a lot and just soak up the atmosphere of the place as wewandered around.

Directions:Take either of the main streets when they split at the Bus/Taxi stand - they will meet up again nearwhere temple road head downhill or you can cross between them at the Chorten (turning Mani Wheels as youpass!)

A little history & What all to see...Dharamshala has been a cantonment since the British era and the home to 1st Gorkha Rifles (one of the regimentsto have had the honors of being decorated with "Param Vir Chakra" which is India's highest military decorationawarded for the highest degree of valour or self-sacrifice in the presence of the enemy).

Its a small quite town and a popular hill station with a very small list of sites to be covered. It's a place where onecan stay for days and roam around and relax and look for peace of mind from the bustling city life. It is dividedinto Upper and Lower Dharamshala (aka McLeod Ganj). The main market would make you feel that it's surely avery small town but then it has all the good restaurants and bakeries and a lovely market to roam around.

Drinking Kashmiri Chai in the restaurant courtyardby lachydragon

My friend and I checked out so many hotels in McLeod Ganj before we decided on the HimQueen Annexe butthis one was the next highest on our shortlist! Run by the lively Amin - a young guy how lived in Kashmir andmoved to Dharamshala a few years ago the rooms are bright and sunny and spotlessly clean. The big advantagewas that you could get a double with private bathroom and shared front balcony for Rs150 (low season - see mytip about accommodation seasons in Dharamshala)!! There is also a restaurant in the guesthouse with a prettygood menu and fantastic Kashmiri Chai - with good company, Amin is happy to show you his albums of Kashmirand trips that he has done with guests up there.

The only drawback was that to reach the hotel you have a pretty steep walk down the steps that run off from nearthe post-office on Jogibara Rd. If we wern't a bit hung-over from all the travelling and feeling a bit more energeticit would be a wonderful place to stay. Also the rooms looks straight up onto the most beautiful mountains and thatis the big benefit of its orientation - that you get the mountain and not valley views. All-in-all a highlyrecommended place to stay if you are feeling fit and are after some beautiful views!

Comparison:less expensive than averageDirections:Down the stairs that run off from the left of Jogibara road if you are walking down from the mainstreet - just after the post office. Sharma is then on the right hand side from these stairs maybe 200m down.othercontact: [email protected]:+61 01892 220069Price:less than US$20

ABOUT Trilokinath Cave Temple

Going by the legends, Trilokpur Cave Temple's insides were of pure gold once. Hindu deity Shiva used tomeditate here. He turned the gold formations to rock as a shepherd tried to prise away the gold from the cave. Theshivalinga inside the temple is supposedly at the same spot where Shiva meditated.

Trilokpur Cave Temple isgreatly fascinating as rock formations can be seen jutting out both from the roof as well as the floor of the cave.While photography isn't allowed inside the temple, you can take photographs from outside. This is one of the wellkept secrets of the region as the usual horde of tourists miss it for the more famous lures of Mcleodganj. Still, it's amust visit.

Lamas principles of not disturbing nature, the elegant two-storeyed temple with its large square overlooking hispalace a modest cottage, where he lives with his cats and flowers was built without chopping a single tree.The temple rests on some unusual columns: trunks of deodars that are still growing, protected by adjustable ironrings. The principal image here is a gilded Buddha rising 9 ft from a lotus seat. To its right, facing in the directionof Tibet, are 12-foot images of Padmasambhava and Avalokiteshvara. The temple is said to be a replica of theoriginal in Lhasa, lovingly carved by exiled Tibetan craftsmen. At least one of the images, the 11-headedAvalokitesvara, dates back to the 7th century CE, when a Tibetan king first installed it in the central cathedral atLhasa. After the Chinese ransacked the cathedral, pious Tibetans recovered parts of the face from the streets andsmuggled it into India in 1967. These bits were incorporated into the new image and consecrated in 1970. There isalso a wooden pulpit from where the Dalai Lama delivers his sermons. The temple is a haven. Stand at any cornerand be dazzled by the breathtaking views of the mountains.

A good stopover on your way to Naddi."

reviewed on Jul 16 2014

While the lake in itself might disappoint you because of the lack of maintenance, the ambience at Dal Lake wouldpretty much make up for it. It's rightly famous as a picnic spot for the locals, as you'll find a good air of bonhomieprevailing this place every evening. It's a perfect stopover if you are trekking up to Naddi, which is well famous asa sunset point. A good number of tea shops and more are ideal to pick up some goodies on your way up to Naddi.

Trek to Triund

Photo Courtesy indiamike

Trekking to Triund is a must for those who are really in love with the Himalayas. Not a difficult one if youre usedto trekking, you can reach the top in 3-4 hours (I took 5!). Once there, you can soak in uninterrupted views of theDhauladhar range. You can stay at Triund for a night or two. There are two shacks, a Himachal government resthouse and a two room facility available there starting from INR 500 a room. You can also pitch a camp up there ifits not bitterly cold. Theres no running water or power here, so gear up for an unadulterated thrilling adventure.

Travel Tip Rather than staying at the government rest house or the tiny shacks, you can better go for the tworoom facility. It has neat rooms and a well stacked kitchen. The caretaker here cooks the most wholesome foodcompared to the other two. Plus, the place also has solar lamps.

Travel Tip Carry just water and clothes if you intend to stay at the top. Food, snacks, water are all available atthe shacks up there, albeit at higher prices.

Explore the Trilokinath Cave Temple


After many google searches for the little known cave temple went almost blank, I took the Mandi-Pathankot Road(NH 20) to find it on my own. An ancient temple, this is equally famous for its religious value as well as the rockformation. Fascination stalactites and stalagmite formations will take your breath away. Other thantheshivalingaand rock formations, interesting carvings on the walls of the inner complex are something to lookat.

50 houses. While theres a little, quaint

gurudwara

to visit, you can also stay in the village. With Dhauladhars forits guardians, its cut off from the humdrum of Mcleodganj. A place seeped in mystery, its a surreal experience.You can get in touch with the caretaker of the gurudwara, to get a place for stay at the gurudwara guest house.Respect for Sikh traditions if not belief will help you in getting a place here.

Learn Cooking at Sangyes Kitchen

There are travellers, and then there are travellers who roam around for culinary delights. While Mcleodganj hasalways been famous for its awesome food, you can learn how to cook it too. Food tasting sessions are just a partof the deal at Sangyes Kitchen. Sangye, a little man, who walked for 28 days to reach India from the invasion hitTibet, will be your teacher here. Specialising in Tibetan cuisine, he takes classes that are wholly interactive andfun. Learn how to cook momos, thukpa, thukpa soup, khapsey, tingmo and more.

Okay, before you go assuming things, I want to make it clear that this is not a cineplex.

Touch the skies. Well, almost.

Mcleodganj is a little more than an hour away from Asias best paragliding sight. Do this fact justice by drivingdown the Palampur road to Bir and Billing and flying on air. For around INR 2200 (do some bargaining), you canglide over the Himalayan air for 30-45 minutes with some luck wind on your side. For a chance that allows you topore over the whole of Dhauladhars, this amount is more like a discount deal!

If you fall into the category of real experience seekers, you will surely fall in love with paragliding after flyingdown that hilly meadow. And if Im right, you must be craving to learn this awesome sport yourself. Coursesrange from a month to three months for a sum between INR 15000 or more. The only caution you need to practiceis to check for your trainers license and concerned authorities. After that, the sky is the limit!

Picnic at Bhasgu Falls

Land back on the land after touching the Himalayan skies and head off for this most amazing place. A 40 minutetrek to Bhagsu Falls starts from near theBhagsunath Temple.All the huffing and puffing will be worth it whenyou finally reach this waterfall that comes gushing from up above the hills. While the water is heavenly cold andyou can walk over the little, colourful rocks, do not forget to order a cup of

masala chai

and maggi from one ofthe two shacks up there. Thumbs up to this place for the lovers of photography.

further up from Triund towards Snow Line (which is much more than a cafe named the same). This marks the endof tree line in the region and takes you till a tiny lake thats mostly frozen in winters. A trek of around an hourfrom Triund will get you here. You can watch the towering snow strewn Dhauladhars, which seem just like at anarms distance away from here. Stay up there at the Snow Line shack, or return back to Triund or Mcleodganjafter a hot plate of maggi or bread toasts and omelettes.

Trek to Chamba via Indrahar Pass


With some luck and lots of guts, you can reach the quaint region of Chamba while trekking through theHimalayas. Often compared to Switzerland, the region can easily surpass the beauty of Alps if you take my word.A trek of 4-5 days and camping can land you at Chamba. While you can do Triund and Snow Line yourself,taking a guide is a must for trekking up the Indrahar Pass. This one is remote and you need to carry all theessentials like water, dry food and more on this one. A must for mountain lovers.

Smell the air at Kangra & Darang Tea Gardens

Photo Courtesy Bernard Gagnon

While some still swear by the tea gardens ofDarjeeling,there are some fascinating ones at Darang and Kangra.While you might have seen the Palampur ones on your way to Bir and Billing, you got to visit Darang andKangra tea estates as well. And if you fall in love with the sprawling greens, you can stay at Darang Tea Estate, a150 year old property. More of an option for an idyllic vacation.

Visit the Martyrs Memorial


On your way to the Kangra tea estate, take a stop at the diversion that leads to HPCA Cricket Stadium. Youll findMartyrs Memorial on one side of the road a place worth visiting though most of the tourists overlook it.Nestled between the towering pines, it has a huge wall dedicated to the martyrs of Kargil War, built between lushgreen gardens. Also worth watching are fighter aircrafts, battle tanks, hi-tech arms and ammunition, warmachinery and much more. A cafe at the entrance is more than just perfect for a midday lunch.

Spend a Musical Evening at the Black Tent Cafe


Though theres a night club in the main square at Mcleodganj, hills are simply not meant to be spent at a nightclub. While you can, of course, take your pick, I suggest you a visit to Black Tent Cafe on a Wednesday evening.Live music, including Tibetan folk music, is played on request, accompanied by some interesting strummingof

dramyin

or the Tibetan guitar. Theres nothing like a cup of cream rich coffee (they make it really good here)

coupled with live music sessions in the hills.

Make Your Own Jewellery


On your way to the Bhagsu Waterfalls, youll see this board (see the pic). While most of the tourists dont visit theshop, I suggest you to pay a visit. You might end up designing your own shiny silver, crystal or rock jewellery atthe end of it. Yes, that board lead you to a jewellery making classes, mostly silver. While you might not be able tolearn it all if youre on a short visit, you will come home with a bag full of glittery, interesting, hippie style

jewellery pieces if nothing.

Learn History at the Kangra Fort


If forts and history have always been boring subjects for you, visit this fortress atop the hills at Kangra. For anentry pass that costs just INR 5, this place is like a time warp for free. Pay extra INR 100 for an audio guide, puton those headphones and enter this fascinating fortress. While the narrator will take you through the many battles,seizes and victories that it saw, you have the chance to experience the royal age of the hills. A visit to the AmbikaDevi temple, near the fort terrace, is a must.

Click here for more details of the Kangra Fort.

Try a Motorbike


As they (read I) say, theres no better way of exploring this town and its surroundings other than a motorbike.While you can have a taxi as well, my vote goes to making your own route map and finding your own way. Allthat you need to shell out is INR 1000 for a Royal Enfield (350 cc) and INR 800 for a Baja Pulsar (usually 150cc) for a day. Some bargaining is likely to bring the price down. So kick start your time at Mcleodganj in the wayits meant to be, and off you go on the meandering hill roads.

Learn Motorcycle Repair and Maintenance


Ahh.. okay. In case your bike break downs. As they say (again I), never ride a vehicle that you dont know howto fix. With some time in hand (around a week), you can go for a beginners course in motorcycle repair andmaintenance. Starting from INR 2000, these courses will come in handy for the rest of your lifetime. Dont skip itfor anything. Theres nothing like knowing your machine.

Exchange Your Dirty Laundry!


Err that was no pun (notice the upper case). Im just referring to this store named Dirty Laundry where you canwalk off with your old, no longer in use stuff and walk out with bags of other stuff. All on heavy discount(usually 50%). Here, you have everything from phone chargers, binoculars, cameras, lenses, batteries, clothes,shoes, hats, baskets and more. If you take my word, they have got some really good stuff here (I bought a NorthStar Indiana Jones like hat thats really cool!). All the goods that are not literally torn or look wasted is acceptedhere. If youre a true traveller, youll find something or the other to pick from here.

Add Some Calories With the Chocolate Log Apple Cake


The homemade cakes at Chocolate Log can all be described in just one word heavenly. While there is plenty to

choose from like the Blueberry Cake, Muffins, Orange Cake, Hot Chocolate Cake and more, you just cant skip abite (or more) of the Apple Crust Cake. While I rarely experiment with food while travelling, this place had mefalling in love with the sheer aroma. Dont miss it.

A Slice of Tibet at the Tibet Quality Bakery


Five minutes away from the Tashi Choeling Monastery, you will come across a tiny shack like bakery by thename of Tibet Quality Bakery. While it does look like one of those run of the mill places, give it a second look.This place is like a slice from the kitchens of Tibet, selling Yak Cheese, Beetroot Nut Slices, Yak Muffins, LhasaCookies, Apple Rolls, Tibet Special Nut Bars, Chocolate Balls and what not. Youll have a tough time whilemaking a choice here. My suggestion, pack if you become too full to devour more.

With this whole new offbeat itinerary and loads of things to do at Mcleodganj, you shouldnt spend more time athome. Pack your bags and hit the roads to Mcleodganj. Believe me, you can really spend an entire month there. Sowhile Im off to Gujarat soon, you can hit the hills for the snow is falling really thick there.
