About Namgyal Monastery in Dharamshala
The Namgyal Monastery in Dharamshala is one of the most popular sites for Buddhist Studies. Also referred to as the Namgyal Monastery Institute of Buddhist Studies or the Namgyal Tantric College, it is the personal monastery of the Dalai Lama. It is the largest Tibetan monastery in the world, outside of Tibet. Located in McLeodGanj in Dharamshala, the monastery was founded in around 1564 in Lhasa, Tibet by the Third Dalai Lama, the monastery was named in order to honor Namgyälma, the female goddess of long life. After the Tibetan uprising, the monastery was shifted to India, where it continues to thrive and attract visitors from all over the world. Namgyal Monastery is responsible for maintaining the rituals and teachings of all the main lineages of Buddhism.
Tourists visiting Dharamshala make sure that they get to visit this monastery, and spend a few hours here just taking in the solitude, peace and quiet. The almost rhythmic chants of the monks who live and pray here will transport you to another world for sure. There are huge, imposing figurines of Lord Buddha all over the monastery, which make for interesting viewing. Make sure to give this place a visit, whenever you come to Dharamshala.

Trip to Himachal
I am quite disappointed with travel triangle because their service assistance person dont pick up the call in the time of need, you have to call to their service center or message to their whatsapp group then they do some action. I tried to call their service person Mr. Ujjawal Kumar but he didn't pick up my call so I had to wait one night to get my problem solve until I called to their call center and message to their whatsapp group. Otherwise Miss Sheetal of LR holidays was very helpful and she changed our hotel I manali as we didn't like the hotel. Driver Mr.Anurag was very good in behaviour. He kept car clean and maintained. Our Hotel kamna hill resorts in Shimla was excellent in service and food. we had been shifted to Hotel Devlok from New Harmony inn which was good one nad near to the mall road of manali. If you're reading my review please do not stay In New Harmony Inn it's the worst hotel I have ever stayed in my life. Hotel devlok in manali where I stayed 2 nights was good. it's room and bathroom was good,good services and food was kind of ok. My overall trip with family was enjoyable and good. our stay in Shimla and seeing snow in Gulaba near soling valley, Manali. Seeing the beautiful scenery while traveling from Shimla to Kullu valley and ManaliTrip to Himachal
Very good service, skilled driver and trip cordination was very good. thanks guys keep up the god work.Trip to Himachal
Overall good arrangements made by Anjana Thakur from Treasure Of Himalayan. Hotels were average. Driver was excellent with his service. I would recommend Treasure Of Himalayan for your booking specially with Anjana as she always responds immediately and guide you. Kufri snowfall and candle light dinner.Trip to Himachal
Cant express our experience in a brief note. We are extremely happy and enjoyed the whole moment in himachal. The hotel facilities and staff was very impressive. View from the hotel is nothing but seeing a heaven. The cab driver and our agent was also very very helping to make the trip to memorable. Thank u so much for the full team.Trip to Himachal
It was well organised trip. And I would appreciate everyone behind this for the great service.Trip to Himachal
You guys really really need to review your points of interest which you plan for us. It's totally outdated or it's not even a thing plus kindly upgrade hotelsTrip to Himachal
The bus booking was done with cheap travels indo canadian i wouldn't recommend to anyone with this bus very rash drivers and unprofessional The trip was good travel triangle should have called in between how is the arrangements done by their travel agent they have coordinated until we pay the half amount that is before travelling after that they never contact what feed back I can give.Trip to Himachal
First of all thanks to Chand for being patient with me and my requests. Since it was my first solo trip I had a lot of doubts and questions about safety and stuff. The travel agents Akash and Chand made sure to check up on me everyday and if I was comfortable. Monu bhaiya, the driver made me feel very comfortable. He would talk about the places we were traveling to and sometimes if I wanted to take a detour he was very accommodating with that too. Overall I was very happy and will go for the mountain people again if I plan another trip in the north east. So I had a camp stay for a night in billing at the mountain top and was supposed to paraglide from there the next morning. To my surprise, I was the only girl in the whole mountains. There were groups of guys but no girl. However, I met a group of three guys and we got along so well. They took care of me and were very prot of me since I was the only girl. And the next day we flew together and ended up traveling for a short distance from bir after which we sadly had to part ways. But I made very good friends that day and will never forget that day.Trip to Himachal
We have faced problem with cab driver. He was not given proper service. Our flight timing was on 12: 30 am on 14th and he dropped us on airport on 6pm on 13th april. We have to wait 6hr 30 min on airport for same thing He was picked up on 4:30 am. Also dropped on wrong airport terminal. He was not listening things like start AC, stop car for lunch break. Our trip was awesome except cab driver experience. Hotels and hotel service was awesome.Trip to Himachal
