My Journey to McLeod Ganj: Pics and history

in #photography6 years ago

McLeod Ganj is a hill station situated just above Dharamshala in the Kangra District of Himachal Pradesh, India. McLeod Ganj was named after Sir Donald Friell McLeod, a Lieutenant Governor of Punjab and the suffix ganj is a common Hindi word for neighborhood. Dhalaudar_peak_from_McLeod_ganj_cafe.jpg

The most important Buddhist site in the town is Tsuglagkhang or Tsuglag Khang, the Dalai Lama's temple. It has statues of Shakyamuni, Avalokiteśvara, and a statue of Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche).
Other important places include: St John in Wilderness, a church located in forest area if Forsyth Ganj. Dal lake, a small lake about 3kms from McLeod Ganj. Bhagsunath Temple, a 10 minutes ride from McLeod Ganj. Bhagsu waterfall, about 2kms from McLeod Ganj is a 20 mt high waterfall with a cafeteria nearby.

The Tibet Museum, established in 1998 and inaugurated by the 14th Dalai Lama on 20 April 2000, has a collection of Tibetan artifacts and photographs showing Tibetans' struggle to preserve their way of life against oppressive forces.
There are lot more things to enjoy in this part of the world: Foreign and local tourist can also rent motorcycles here and enjoy the ride, the morning breakfast mostly include Maggi and bread with omelette which when taken with hot tea gives you immense satisfaction from your busy life.
There is a restaurant cum bar at dharmshala which is often visited by touring cricketers and celebrities. The cricket ground at dharamshala looks fabulous.
