Here I am in
Dharamsala, where I’ve visited on my last trip.
Dharamsala is a hill station in the state of Himachal Pradesh, famed for
its large Tibetan community and as the home of the Dalai Lama. The town is divided into Lower and Upper
parts, the latter of which is known more commonly as McLeod Ganj,
named after David McLeod, the once the British Lieutenant-Governor of Punjab. McLeon Gang has an altitude of around 1,750
meters. We’ll be making some excursions
from here, including a hike or two.
This photo shows the tent-like white crests of the Dalai Lama's palace and the many prayer flags you see all over.
