About this experience
Dharamsala is a small picturesque town at the foothills of the Himalayas, surrounded by pine trees. It could have been just another typical Indian mountain resort, but history had a different plan. It was here in 1959 that the Dalai Lama established his exile residence, attracting thousands of Tibetan monks. Join us to explore this sacred place together!
