Dharamshala with Mama

After our little China trip Mama accompanied me back to India. We spent a nice and very peaceful week in Dharamkot! A little hippie village next to McLeod Ganj, which is where the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan community took refuge in 1959.

We spent our days hiking, escaping the mountain rain, eating great Tibetan food and exploring the Tibetan communities and temples around McLeod Ganj. We visited the main temple where the Dalai Lama resides, the Tibetan Museum, which explained and showed the whole history of Tibet. The Norbulingka Institute was also very interesting! It’s an institute which aims to preserves the Tibetan culture. There are many studios where young Tibetans practice woodwork, traditional painting, sewing and tailoring.

After a week well spent Mama left me alone again and Ill spend some more days in this lazy little village :)Read more
