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.

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!

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.

    Abhishek's 3 days trip to Dharamshala

    Overall trip was very good. Just the cab driver was not good, he didn't communicated with us properly, rude and trying to save money by asking us to change plans of sightseeing. He also not given us any information about the place whereever he was taking us, as he was responsible for sightseeing .

    New delhi

    Parimal's 7 days trip to Dharamshala

    Overall it was a mixed experience. The senior sales executive at Travel Talkies tried her best to work with us during the planning and actual tour. However, she was not thorough and I had to keep correcting her mistakes. The coordinator at the Travel Triangle was helpful at the beginning but then of
    ten was non-responsive during critical time. The driver was non-cooperative. He would not make any adjustment to the itinerary without asking for additional money. One thing I recommend to do is going through their itinerary making sure all places you are interested are spelled out, rather than some leaving hanging.

    Ashu Ismart

    Delhi

    Ashu's 4 days trip to Dharamshala

    *Trip Review* Our recent 4-day trip was a mixed bag, but overall, we'd give it 4 stars. Here's a breakdown: *Travel Agent* Roshni from Advance Easy Trip planned our trip and was extremely helpful and polite throughout. We'd highly recommend her services. *Stay/Hotel* The 3-star hotel was
    upgraded due to room unavailability, and we were pleasantly surprised with the better view and facilities. Although breakfast and dinner options were limited (2 main course dishes without butter roti), the good deal and location made up for it. *Budget Friendly* The prices offered by Roshni were competitive, and we verified them against market rates. *Hotel* The hotel had an electricity issue, but it wasn't a major concern since we didn't require AC or fans. The food options were limited compared to other hotels in the market (given our experience in the hotel industry). However, the views and peaceful environment were exceptional, and we'd give it 5/5 for those aspects. *Transport/Cab/Driver* Unfortunately, our experience with the driver, Sahjd Ali, was disappointing. He: - Lacked etiquette and was rude - Slept excessively during drives and denied requests - Didn't follow the itinerary and made false claims about attractions and charges - Tried to deceive us with false claims about entry fees for Atal Tunnel (claimed 1500 government charge, demanded 3000 extra) - Drove slowly to charge extra 2000 for night charges - Had a good network in Manali and prioritized meeting friends and relatives over our needs - Didn't pick up calls (14 attempts) *Driver Details* - Name: Sahjd Ali - Contact number ends with: 314168 - Swift cab number ends with: 6799 *Recommendation* While the trip was good overall, we'd advise against using the driver Sahjd Ali. Despite this, we'd still recommend Advance Easy Trip for their good deals, better hotels, and excellent customer service. *Rating* 4/5 stars *Final Verdict* Happy journey to all! Best Memories 1. *Exceptional Views*: The upgraded hotel had breathtaking views that we'll always treasure. 2. *Roshni's Excellent Service*: Our travel agent, Roshni, was extremely helpful and polite throughout the trip. 3. *Peaceful Environment*: The hotel's serene atmosphere provided a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle. 4. *Atal Tunnel Visit*: Despite the driver's issues, visiting Atal Tunnel was an exhilarating experience. 5. *Manali's Natural Beauty*: The scenic landscapes and picturesque valleys of Manali left us spellbound. Lessons Learned 1. *Choose Drivers Wisely*: Be cautious when selecting drivers, and research their reputation beforehand. 2. *Verify Claims*: Double-check claims made by drivers about attractions and charges. Future Recommendations 1. *Advance Easy Trip*: Despite the driver issues, we'd recommend Advance Easy Trip for their good deals and excellent customer service. 2. *Better Driver Selection*: Future travelers should be aware of the potential issues with certain drivers and take necessary precautions.
