If you were having trouble figuring out the various things to do in Dharamshala in 2021, we’ve got you covered with this guide!
The district headquarters of the mighty Kangra Valley, Dharamshala is the cradle of Tibetan Buddhism in India. Even before the great Dalai Lama made the decision to establish a center for Tibetan philosophy here in 1959, Dharamshala was a land swathed in spirituality. The very name Dharamshala means “the realm of the spiritual”. Dharamshala was originally part of the kingdom of the Katoch, the royal Kangra family that is said to be among the oldest surviving royal dynasties in the world. They resided along with the indigenous shepherd population of the hills known as Gaddis. The history of the early settlers of Kangra can be dated back to the early 14th century.
With the arrival of the British in the 1800s, Dharamshala also became an important strategic ...
... military zone. The mighty Gurkha regiments were moved here a few decades later and Dharamshala soon became synonymous with these brave soldiers, giving rise to the 1st Gurkha Rifles division. Finally, in 1959, the Lama sought asylum in the expansive hill range and established the Namgyal Monastery, the first of its kind in India. From here onwards, Dharamshala’s popularity as a center of beauty and spirituality spread, and those that seek answers flock to Dharamshala’s monasteries while those that seek an escape from the urban life visit Dharamshala for its large deodar and pine forests, and the Dhauladhars keeping watch over the region like earthly gods.
Dharamshala remains a culturally unique center with multiple communities and people calling it their home. On your visit to Dharamshala, you’ll find the same reflected in every facet of life: Cuisine, culture, architecture, and lifestyle.
