Mcleodganj in Himachal Pradesh, offers a serene escape into the Indian Himalayan mountains. Once a popular hill station in Himachal Pradesh, the Himalayan region of Dharamsala to Mcleodganj, is gradually transforming into a sought-after destination for expats who have left their city lives behind for a Himalayan lifestyle. With countless places to visit in McLeodGanj and Dharamsala, these twin towns are perfect for backpackers, solo travelers, and cultural enthusiasts looking to explore Buddhist traditions, local Himachali life, and the peaceful beauty of the Himalayas. The picturesque monasteries, cascading waterfalls, serene lakes, and charming cafes, all set against the majestic backdrop of the Dhauladhar range, contribute to Mcleodganj’s allure as a top tourist destination in Himachal Pradesh.
Historically, Mcleodganj was a cherished summer destination for the officers stationed at the Kangra cantonment during the British India era. This is why it was named Dharamsala, which translates to “rest house.” Later, when the Dalai Lama sought refuge in Mcleodganj, the hill station became a Tibetan refugee center and a prominent Buddhist pilgrimage site.
