Road Trip to Dharamshala: Things to do

There is no doubt in the fact that Dharamshala is one of the must visit hill stations in India but what makes this place more amazing is its beauty which can be enjoyed in any season. 

If you are planning a trip to Dharamshala during Monsoon, do read Trip to Dharamshala in Rainy Season. This post will help you understand what you should expect and keep in mind if you are on your maiden Road Trip to any hill stations. 


The previous post helped you with pre-trip stages that what all you should do, once you have finalised the trip to this destination. This post is more about what you should plan and how should you execute that and which are the places to see in Dharamshala. Here is the list of things to do in Dharamshala 


1)Trek your way from McLeodGanj to Triund


This 9-km trek to Triund takes 6 hours if you walk leisurely. You can stay in the camp overnight and enjoy the sunrise from the peak. There are many adventure trip organisers who offer very affordable packages and make your trip more comfortable and memorable.


2) Mesmerize in the beauty of Bhagsunag Falls



Bhagsunag Temple and the fall is close to McLeod Ganj and takes a 30-40 minute to reach the highest point. The trekking is comfortable unless its raining. Carry your rain coat if you are going during monsoon. 

Tip: Shiva Cafe is at the zenith of Bhagsunag fall. It is once in a lifetime experience. Do visit it. 



3) Explore your photogenic angle at Kangra Fort


Without going into the deep history, just understand, Kangra Fort is one of the ideal places to bring your shutterbugs to work. Picturesque scenes, mesmerising environ and greenery makes the best combination for a perfect picture.


4) Check out the monasteries


There are many worth visiting monasteries in and around McLeodGanj. If not monasteries, you can visit their temples. One of them is Dalai Lama Temple Complex. If not spiritual, you will find many other reasons to pay your visit here. 

Other sites that you would like to visit in McleodGanj are:- 

5) Tibet Museum 
6) Dal Lake
7) St. Johns Church

I didn't visit last three places, hence couldn't suggest anything. Google is the god! He will lead your way from here.
