The upper part of Dharamshala is better known as McLeodganj. You should visit this town as you can get a chance to see the 14th Dalai Lama, who live at a mere five minute walk from here. The sanctity of Buddhism is so inspiring here that it is sometimes said that Tibet has lent importance to McLeodganj. The major highlight of this small panoramic lies in its monasteries, restaurants, antique and curios shops that have been nourished with the old world colonial charm.

McLeod Ganj or Mcleodganj, also known as Upper Dharamsala is a suburb of Dharamsala in Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh, India. Situated on the Dhauladhar Range, whose highest peak, ‘Hanuman Ka Tibba’, at about 5,639m. (18,500ft), lies just behind it. It is known as “Little Lhasa” due to its large population of Tibetan refugees. The Tibetan Government in Exile is headquartered in McLeod Ganj.

In March 1959, Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama, fled to India after the failed uprising in 1959 in Tibet, led by his brother against the Communist Party of China. The Indian Government offered him refuge in Dharamsala, where he set up the Government of Tibet in Exile in 1960, while McLeod Ganj became his official residence, and also home to several Buddhist monasteries and thousands of Tibetan refugees. Over the years, McLeodganj evolved into an important tourist and pilgrimage destination, and has since grown much in population.
