About McLeod Ganj

McLeod Ganj sits above Dharamshala and is the seat of the Tibetan government-in-exile. The Tsuglagkhang temple complex, Tibetan cafés, markets and monasteries give it a character unlike any other hill town.

Bhagsu waterfall is a short walk away and the Triund trek starts nearby.
