Very serene environment, excellent Darshans of Buddha and a place to spend some time. It's very well maintained, clean and organised. Also happy to see that they do not put restrictions on cameras etc. Also, there is no specific dress code for visiting this place. The approach however is through narrow streets. While we had driven down to McLeod Ganj all the way from Bangalore but within McLeod Ganj we hired a cab for the day because finding a parking is next to impossible and also the streets are very narrow. Near this temple complex I did see a multi storied car parking but not sure if it's open for general public.

My friend and I had a fun weekend in Dharamshala in June, 2024. We stayed in McLeod Ganj in an AirBNB not far from the main chowk. We split our time between gift shopping, sightseeing, and eating. At 2000 metres, the air was a bit tin. The narrow lanes were often steep, so we got a workout just walking around. The prices were very affordable. The shopkeepers were quite friendly and pleasant to deal with whether or not we ended up buying anything. Shopping wise, I'd like to give special praise to Naseer at Arts & Craft Jewelry. I also got an expert deep tissue massage from Prashant at Himalayan Wellness. we picked up a few odds and ends from the stalls along the roadside. We got some good bargains on handmade clothes at the Tibetan Handicrafts market across from the Dalai Lama Temple. We tried a variety of Tibetan foods. We enjoyed our meal at Tibet Kitchen the most. Jimmy's Italian Kitchen had a surprising variety of Italian dishes, but my sense was that all of them were localized to some extend for Indian tastes which are spicier than Italian tastes. We did little sightseeing in McLoeod Ganj, but on our way back down the mountain among the hairpin turns and scenic views, we stopped to see the lovely cricket stadium and the Norbulingka Tibetan Culture Centre with its exquisite Losel collection of dolls and other handicrafts. Our weekend in Dharamshala proved to be a lovely, relaxing getaway in a clean, somewhat cool hill station with a relaxed pace but enough to do to stay busy. I recommend the town if you're looking for a getaway in Northern India.

Beautiful, serene temple complex with great positive energies… it is a must do if u are in McLeod Ganj!! It is a 15 minute walk from the main square… and if you are of a religious bent of mind , then you must not miss going there. Very neat and clean complex … you need to take off your shoes before you enter the main temple… fortunately there was no rush , so one could go in and sit in the temple and absorb the peaceful energies of the place Cameras and phones are allowed… very very peaceful!!
