McLeod Ganj is a Tibetan refugee town in the foothills of the Himalayas. It’s famous because the Dalhi Lama lives there though I don’t think he was in while I was there. I got to see his front gate though. It’s very touristy but the Buddhist influence kept it very laid back and kind. It was also much cooler up there. After 4 weeks of 40 plus degree weather it was amazing to be able to go outside without sweating.
