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. Naddi Hill Point, Dal Lake, and Bhagsunag Waterfall are the best places to visit near Mcleodganj. The best time to visit Dharamshala is the summer season, between March and early June. Whether you are looking for adventure or a calm place with amazing views, you’ll surely be pleased with the tourist attractions in Dharamshala. Take a long trek in the breathtaking hills or go to explore the beautiful temples and shrines, every place you visit will be a lifetime experience. Some of the top places to visit in Dharamshala that should be on your itinerary are HH Dalai Lama Temple, St. John’s Church in the Wilderness, Bhagsunath Temple, Bhagsunag Waterfalls and Tse Chok Ling Gompa.

The trek leading to this hill top is undergone by thousands of backpackers every year from every part of the world. It is a simple 2 to 4 hour 9 km easy trek which gives spectacular views of the Kangra valley on one side and the mighty Dhauladhars on the other. Namgyal Monastery: Situated within Tsuglagkhang Complex, Namgyal Monastery is home to the residence of Dalai Lama among various other shrines and temples. Though the residence is out of reach for tourists, the place with its simple and disciplinary environment among the monks should be a great place to experience the beauty of silence.

Moreover to the mesmerizing views, the Tibetan influence and architecture will give an experience like none. It is surely a dream stadium for all cricket-lovers!

If you are an explorer and curious to know about Tibetan traditions and culture, this should be a perfect place for you!

In addition to these Dharamshala tourist places, one should also visit Kangra Art Museum, Gyuto Monastery, Kalachakra Temple, Dal Lake, Naddi Village, Dharamkot and Jwalamukhi Temple. Places to see in Dharamshala are not just limited to the high peaks and temples. One must head to the Kangra Fort that will take you back to the colonial time.

The customer representative Mr.Vikas was exceptionally helpful. He was very experienced and arranged our tour program excellently

Gedam's 5 days trip to Dharamshala

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing an amazing trip to Manali and Kasol, all thanks to the fantastic arrangements made by Dhartababy and Kewal. From start to finish, everything was seamless and well-organized. Their support throughout the trip was truly commendable – they were always availab

le to answer any questions and ensure we had the best possible experience. Our stay at Sterling Manali was beyond expectations. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and perfectly located, giving us easy access to all the scenic spots in Manali. The food was a standout – every meal was delicious and fresh, catering to all our tastes. We also stayed a night at Chalo Kasol, which was a good experience overall. The staff was very supportive and helpful during our stay. However, there was a small issue with the breakfast on the day of our early checkout, as the options were limited. Despite that, the stay was comfortable, and we were able to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. A special mention to our driver, Ravi, who was not just a safe and reliable driver, but missing a warm and friendly companion throughout our journey. He made sure we reached each destination comfortably and his local knowledge really enhanced our experience. Thank you again to Dhartababy, Kewal, and Ravi for making this trip one we’ll never forget. Highly recommend their services for anyone planning a Manali or Kasol Trip Best Memories from Our Manali & Kasol Trip Our trip to Manali and Kasol was filled with unforgettable moments, but a few experiences truly stand out. Visiting the Hadimba Temple was an incredible start to our adventure, where the serene beauty of the temple amidst the towering cedar trees left us in awe. One of the most cherished memories was celebrating our wedding anniversary at Sterling Manali. The hotel staff went above and beyond to make the day special, and the celebration in the stunning setting of the mountains made it even more magical. A visit to Rohtang Pass was another highlight. The breathtaking views of the less or no snow-capped mountains were nothing short of spectacular, and the adventure of being in such a high-altitude chilling paradise was thrilling. In Kasol, the peaceful yet spiritual experience at Manikarnika was unforgettable. The natural hot springs and the sacred atmosphere added a beautiful, calming vibe to our journey. Finally, walking through the apple gardens was an absolute delight. Strolling among the blossoming trees with fresh mountain air made for a picture-perfect moment. These memories will stay with us forever, and we are so grateful to have had such an amazing experience.

Adiga's 4 days trip to Dharamshala

Very good experience of waiting in Bus Stand for 4 hours. Had informed to book the earliest departure bus to Kashmiri Gate, Delhi. At first 5:30PM bus was booked (in the middle to last row even after requesting to book in first 3 rows). Then the travel agent called and said that they have booked ano

ther bus at 7:10PM as the bus operator is accepting our tickets. Not sure how they accepted at first and then rejected. Also the 7:10PM bus last stop was at Majnu Ki Tila from where there is no Metro. The travel agent is teaching us that both Kashmiri Gate and Majnu Ki Tila are near. But we don’t have a Metro connection to Majnu Ki Tila and that the cab to Airport cost us Rs. 800 instead of Rs.240 via Metro for 2. Also we had booked a flight to Bengaluru. Would the team refunded the flight ticket if we had not reached the airport early? No memories. Just waiting in Bus Stand for 4 hours

Sandeep's 6 days trip to Dharamshala

Diksha was our travel agent from travel triangle who planned the iternairy, she was quite flexible to accept our change requests based on my needs. We were given multiple hotel options to pick and choose, she also followed up the entire tour to check if we are doing fine and enjoying the trip. We e

njoyed the trip, the hotels were good with good scenic view as demanded. Food was also very good at the hotels. Only issue is tourist places are far off and you spend more time in travelling . I would suggest to book for 6 night and 7 days incase you are planning for Amritsar, Dalhousie and Dharamshala

Upendrabarnwal's 4 days trip to Dharamshala

I booked the Kullu Manali trip for my parents as an Anniversary gift through Travel Traingle. It was a 3 Days, 4 Nights trip and cost around Rs. 20,000. The travel agency, Travelpedia, was very accommodative and Mr. Vikas helped with all queries. The Hotel Lotus Inn Rohtang View was spectacular

, provided for a decent stay with great food. The breakfast and dinner was complementary with the package. The Hotel star was very helpful and ensured me parents faced no problems. The cab driver was also good. Though, he was trying to cut short the trip at times due to bad weather. Despite that, he navigated well through the hilly terrain and scenic places. In the end, I'd definitely recommend you to book through Travel Traingle for your upcoming trips. I too am looking forward to another adventure. My parents had got their luggage locked out mistakenly. The Hotel staff came to the rescue and provided required assistance to unlock it. XD
