Dharamshala

A Tibetan refuge in India

Dharamshala, literally ‘the school of religion’, is nestled in a valley of dense pine and deodar forests with a horizon dominated by the snowclad peaks of the Dhauladhar range. For years, it has offered refuge to the Tibetans through their tumultuous history with China, and served as the headquarters for His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The cool, bracing air, a winding uphill road punctuated by gurgling brooks and the higgledy-piggledy town perched precariously on the mountainside, set against a backdrop of fluttering Tibetan flags makes Dharamshala a picturesque retreat for the cityfolk.
