McLeod Ganj Hotels - Reviews and Rates

Last night we took part in a candle light march for Tibetans. It was the 22nd anniversary of the first protest against China's invasion of Tibet. We started at the top of McLeod Ganj and walked down to the Dalai Lama's residence (although he's currently out of the country).

We were then showed a video which showed the situation in Burma. ...

Ärkan kella kahe paiku ja enam magama ei jää. Keerutan ennast ühtepidi ja teistpidi ja higistan kogu aeg alumist külge. Ametlik ärkamine on kella viie paiku, et pool kuus startida Dharamsala suunas.
Pakime kotid taas katusele ja sõidame läbi hommikusuduse soojades kollastes toonides Amritsari. Jalgratttad ja velorikshad on juba ärganud, aga ü...

As unpleasant as a six hour bus ride sounds, the ride to McLeod was not that bad. The first half was spent trailing northwards through the Punjab which was pretty hot and unattractive, but midway we made it to Himachal Pradesh, the Land of the Gods and probably one of the coolest states in India. It's also our first "Himalayan" state, and putter...

The journey from Amritser to McLeod Ganj was one for the record books! We initially got a train to Patankhot which went smoothly. We were sitting beside an aussie for the 3 hours and it trurned out he visited Ireland a few years ago and stayed in Westmeath in a town called Castlepollard in a castle called Tullynally Castle - which is about 1 mil...

Hi Everybody, Hi Everybody, So since I last posted a blog, we've been up in northern India in the beautiful town of McLeodGanj. This small hillside town is part of Dharamsala and also the residence of His Holiness The XIV Dalai Lama as well as the Tibetan Government in Exile. McLeodGanj is a small tourist town, with people from all over the worl...

Here we are in the Himilayas. The views even from here are fantastic and it is a bit of a better temperature! We are staying in a quieter - not quite by any means - town home to many tibetan refugees and also residence to the dalai lama - who is currently here though sadly we have not seen him.. We plan to stay here for a few days and relax afte...

We arrived in McLeod Ganj at 4:30 am after a bumpy, sleepless night. An Israeli girl from the bus had been there before, and led us to the nearby town of Bhagsu to find a hostel, a 20 minute walk through the darkness on a dirt road. After waiting a few hours for people to wake up, we found a cheap place to stay, stowed our stuff, and grabbed som...

Welcome to India! Welcome to Delhi! The driver who met us at the airport drives us to our hotel with due caution, aggressively accelerating into any gap and maintaining one hand on the horn at all times. It is how everyone in Delhi drives. Nothing can prepare you for Delhi. Nothing. The searing heat, the humidity at the end of the monsoon- the b...

McLeod Ganj is an isle of peace among the ocean of Indian craziness. You might as well not be in India since this is the home of the Tibetan government in exile and you see very few Indians. The Tibetans are beautiful people which exude such a serenity and calmness making it hard to believe the tribulations they endured in fleeing to India. They...
