Tibet in Himalayan Dharamkot

Two weeks in Dharamkot was the best time we spent while travelling – we merged ourselves with nature in ‪Himalaya‬ hidden small village‪, 2 km from town Dharamsala, where ‪Tibetan‬ government and ‪Dalai Lama‬ reside in exile.

Despite being completely tourist place, Dharamkot is very peaceful, welcoming and fresh, especially at this time of the year in ‪India‬ (spring and summer time), where many people go to escape the heat, that is prevalent now in popular beach sites as ‪Goa‬ and ‪Kerala‬.

      2. it’s a great place to visit I can tell you! we’ve been to Thailand, visited Doi Suthep temple near Chiang Mai – cool place in the mountain – Burma and Sri Lanka must be amazing but we haven’t been lucky enough to go there yet. Sri Lanka we get mixed impressions from others but Burma seems to be unanimously described as amazing.
        What is the name of your tradition? Before I thought there was only
        Buddhism but it seems there’s so many variants as places where it’s followed.

        Btw, did you like Sri Lanka?
