Best Places To Visit In Dharamshala

Some of the best places to visit in Dharamshala include:

Triund: The crown of the jewel Dharamshala, Triund is a small hill in the Kangra district. Triund is considered, by far, the best place to visit in Dharamshala. 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. HPCA Stadium: This cricket stadium located between the hills is definitely worth a visit. The Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium will pump you up as you enter it. 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! McLeodganj Main Square: McLeodganj is the hub of backpackers and the main square is the place for numerous cafes and hostels. This bustling market is full of small shops selling everything from souvenirs to clothes. Also, you’ll get everything to eat here. Norbulingka Institute: Founded in 1988, Norbulingka Institute is dedicated to the preservation of the Tibetan culture in its literary and artistic forms. 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.

Do pay a visit to Tibetan Market to pick up souvenirs while shopping in Dharamshala. Paragliding, trekking, and camping are popular things to do in Dharamshala. Make sure you have ample time to cover all the places while planning sightseeing in Dharamshala.

Dharamshala Packages Reviews

Read on to find out why our customers love us!

Avinash's 9 days trip to Dharamshala

We booked for Himachal trip. It was a very good experience for us. Right from the starting to the end of the trip we loved it. The itinerary was well planned. The agent and driver were polite and helpful with on time delivery of vouchers. Agent was available on call during the trip. We will definitely look forward to book with same travel agency (Travelepedia) again. What worked for us and what didn't. Worked for us: 1. Quality of accommodation. 2. The view from rooms were amazing. 3. Cab in very good condition. 4. Driver was polite and helpful and very experienced in driving. 5. Hotel staff were eager to serve. What could have been better: 1. We would have preferred to stay somewhere near Shimla mall road. We didn't realize it while booking it. But Shimla mall road is one of the best places to roam around late night. 2. In some places driver was forcing us multiple times to take para gliding and other similar activities and stopping car in front of shops. This is really common among all travel agents/drivers. We understand that it is commission based. So we didn't feel bad. But this definitely could have been better.

Prasad S Bengaluru

Narayana's 4 days trip to Dharamshala

Easy go vacation is an ideal choice and they gave best suited itinerary for the duration I preferred. Be it the booking agent Aman or drivers who accompanied, they executed the tour without any communication gap and on schedule. Snow games at Hamta pass, jakku temple visit and kufri are worth every penny

Nasi's 4 days trip to Dharamshala

Our family vacation from Chennai to Manali was an unforgettable experience, all thanks to Travel Vichar. They organized everything seamlessly, ensuring we had the best of everything. The luxury resort they booked for us was nothing short of amazing, offering an eye-catching view that made every morning special. Special mention to our driver, Ankush, who was incredibly friendly and professional. He took us to all the must-see spots and patiently waited for us to fully enjoy the sightseeing. His punctuality was commendable as he was on time every single day. Ankush also recommended some delightful local foods and good restaurants that added an extra layer of enjoyment to our trip. Overall, Travel Vichar made our vacation truly memorable, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!
