Best Places To Visit In Dharamshala

Often referred to as the second ‘Winter Capital of India’, Dharamshala is the ultimate adventure and backpacking destination in the country. Every year thousands of tourists from India as well as from other countries come to the mesmerizing Kangra Valley and make Dharamshala home for days as there are a number of tourist places in Dharamshala ranging from high mountains to Buddhist monasteries, this city has a lot to offer. Namgyal Monastery, Tibetan Museum, Kangra Art Museum, War Memorial, and Kangra Fort are the best places to visit in Dharamshala.

Namgyal Monastery: Situated within Tsuglagkhang Complex, Namgyal Monastery is home to the residence of Dalai Lama among various other shrines and temples.

    It was a good trip to Shimla-Manali. We had enjoyed a lot the journey, the locations, stay and food. The weather was clear as snow fall didn't happen at the end of last year. One should visit these places to enjoy the beautiful and chill weather, snow, big mountains, local food and paragyaling. It w
    as all beautifully arranged by scape tour and provided all the facilities. The hotel stay and cab facility was good and safe. Food was good in hotel and that stay was near to the city. They picked up us from Delhi and gave drop to Delhi. They never wasted our time and always listened to us. They arranged the trip according to our needs. Scape tour agent Suraj was very polite and provided all the facilities mentioned in the package. No hidden amounts.

    Deepak's 3 days trip to Dharamshala

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting Manali, and I can confidently say it was a trip of a lifetime. From the moment I arrived, I was enchanted by the natural beauty, warm hospitality, and the diverse experiences this destination had to offer. Accommodation: I stayed at a cozy boutique hotel ne
    stled in the heart of Old Manali. The breathtaking views of the Himalayas from my room were nothing short of spectacular. The staff was exceptionally attentive and made me feel at home throughout my stay. Sightseeing: Manali's landscapes are a dream come true for nature enthusiasts. Rohtang Pass, Solang Valley, and Jogini Waterfall left me spellbound with their scenic grandeur. The Hadimba Temple was a cultural gem, and the quaint markets of Manu Market and Mall Road offered delightful shopping and dining experiences. Adventure: For adventure seekers, Manali offers a plethora of activities, including paragliding, trekking, and river rafting. I took a thrilling paragliding ride over the Solang Valley, which was a definite highlight of my trip. Cuisine: The local Himachali cuisine was a delightful surprise. I savored traditional dishes like Dham and Chana Madra, which were bursting with flavors. The street food scene in Old Manali was a treat for the taste buds.
