Top Attractions

The Dalai Lama Temple Complex

McLeodganj's spiritual centre, open daily.

Bhagsu Waterfall

Best in monsoon, an easy walk from the main town.

The Triund trek

A doable day hike with big Dhauladhar views, if you want to earn them.

Kalachakra Temple & the Tibetan markets

For the slow-morning version of the trip — cafés, markets, no agenda.

Where to Stay

Social & central — Bhagsu

Hostels and cafés everywhere, an easy walk to the waterfall.

Quiet & scenic — Naddi

Fewer crowds, big valley views — better for couples or families.

Slow mornings — Dharamkot

Quieter still, popular with longer-stay travellers and yoga mornings.

Budget-friendly

Roughly ₹1,500–2,500/night for guesthouses in McLeodganj or Bhagsu.

More indulgent

Boutique mountain-view stays in Naddi, for a splurge.
