First-timer's guide

By train to McLeodganj and Dharamshala

The nearest railway station to McLeodganj and Dharamshala is Pathankot, about 90 km and 3–4 hours by road. Which trains, which of Pathankot's two stations, and how to do the last 90 km without losing the day.

First-timer's guide

McLeodganj to Dharamkot: the last 2 km

Dharamkot is 2 km above McLeodganj: a 20–45 minute walk uphill, or 10–15 minutes and about ₹150 by taxi. The road ends before the village does, and that is the part worth knowing before you arrive.

About McLeodganj

Things to do in McLeodganj

McLeodganj sits above Dharamshala as the Tibetan quarter of the hills — the Dalai Lama's temple complex, Tsuglagkhang, anchors the town, and the streets around it run on momo joints, cafés and prayer flags. Things to do in McLeodganj span the practical and the physical: sit in on live-music or film-screening evenings at a café, join a Tibetan cooking class or a short meditation course, or just walk the kora around the temple at dusk.

For anyone after more than a stroll, the Triund trailhead starts right at the edge of town — a full-day hike with McLeodganj's rooftops falling away below and the Dhauladhar ridge ahead. Closer in, Bhagsu waterfall is a short walk past Bhagsu village, busy with tea stalls in season. It's a small town that keeps a full calendar — check what's actually on this week rather than a list of what's usually here.

The Dalai Lama's temple complex and the Triund trailhead are the two anchors, but the town runs a steady mix of café live-music nights, film screenings, Tibetan cooking classes and meditation courses in between — check the listings below for what's actually on.
