Dharamshala is a scenic hill town in Himachal Pradesh, India, nestled in the shadow of the majestic Dhauladhar mountain range. Serving as the winter capital of the state, it is globally renowned as the home of the 14th Dalai Lama and the seat of the Tibetan government-in-exile. The town is uniquely divided into two distinct parts: Lower Dharamshala, which acts as the bustling commercial centre, and Upper Dharamshala (McLeod Ganj), a peaceful area steeped in Tibetan culture, pine forests, and cozy mountain cafes.
