Little Lhasa
Located in the Kangra Valley, specifically the upper reaches known as McLeod Ganj, this is the home of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government in exile. The vibe is distinctively Buddhist—prayer flags, spinning wheels, and maroon-robed monks. It offers a cool, pine-scented refuge for those interested in Tibetan Buddhism and meditation courses.
The center of Tibetan spirituality in India. The Tushita Meditation Centre offers renowned introductory courses on Buddhism.
