About this trip
An offbeat, unhurried take on Dharamshala & McLeod Ganj — quieter corners and local rhythm, away from the rush. The seat of the Tibetan government in exile, and quite different in character from the rest of Himachal. McLeod Ganj above the main town is where visitors stay — monasteries, Tibetan food and a walk around the Dalai Lama temple complex. The Triund trek is the other draw and it is a genuine day hike rather than a stroll. Two nights is right unless you are trekking. Over two nights the offbeat & slow travel angle sets the rhythm in Dharamshala & McLeod Ganj — a settled arrival, one full day built squarely around the theme, and a closing morning for whatever you want to revisit. Days lean towards lesser-seen corners, local rhythm and the parts most itineraries skip. Pricing is on enquiry, and every detail — the exact day plan, the theme extras and the hotels — is tailored with you and confirmed at quotation.

Questions
Package FAQs
Is the Triund trek difficult?
It is moderate rather than hard, but it is a real climb of about 9 km round trip. Reasonable fitness and early start required.
Should I stay in Dharamshala or McLeod Ganj?
McLeod Ganj, almost always. It sits above the main town, it is where the monasteries and cafés are, and lower Dharamshala is an ordinary administrative town.
What makes this a offbeat & slow travel package?
An offbeat, unhurried take on Dharamshala & McLeod Ganj — quieter corners and local rhythm, away from the rush. The theme shapes the pacing and the extras; the sights themselves are Dharamshala & McLeod Ganj's real highlights. Everything is customisable at quotation.
How is the price calculated?
On enquiry. We price your exact party, dates, hotel category and inclusions; a consultant replies within one working day and no payment is required for a quote.
How do we get there and get around?
Dharamshala & McLeod Ganj is served by Gaggal (DHM), 15 km (rail: Pathankot, 90 km). Local transfers and sightseeing are by private air-conditioned car; flights or trains can be added.
