Dharamshala in Kangra District of Himachal Pradesh is known the world over as the seat of Dalai Lama. With its dense Deodhar forests and breathtaking views of hills and valleys, the fascination with Dharamshala as a hill station dates back to the times of British Raj. From vantage points that look out over vast plains, crystal clear streams, cool healthy air, picture postcard surroundings to snowcapped mountains in the vicinity, Dharamshala has it all. And there is no dearth of shopping options if you want to take a piece of Dharamshala on your way back. The flavor and the lifestyle of this mountainous paradise reflect the legacy of the colonial era that exists side by side with the Tibetan culture. Dharamsala came on the world map in 1959 with the arrival of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Government in Exile . Currently, it is a very popular hang-out for foreigners, backpackers and students of Buddhism.
