How To Reach Dharamshala

Dharamshala is a beautiful place located in the district of Kangra in Himachal Pradesh. With tourists visiting from every corner of the world, Dharamshala has been a personal favorite of thousands of backpackers. Dharamshala is also known to be the second winter capital of India. Not many people are aware that there are two parts of the city. One is known as Lower Dharamshala and the other one is known as Upper Dharamshala.
