dharamkot the attractive spot
On the crest of a hill above McLeodganj, Dharamkot is an attractive spot that presents a wide view of the Kangra valley and the Dhauladhar ranges. There are a couple of small (and interesting) eateries around. Several foreigners have taken residence in the area; all live in village homes and tiny guest houses. Dharamkot also has the Vipassana meditation centre, Dhamma Shikara, as well as the Tushita Meditation Centre which is a centre for the study and practice of Buddhism in the Tibetan Mahayana tradition.
Gagan Resorts - a beautifully situated resorts, amidst the beautiful hills and forest of Dharamkot village, just 1 km from the famous tourist destination of Mcleodganj, is an excellent hotel / resorts to spend your holidays with peace and home like atmosphere.
The resort is surrounded with tall and wind lushing deodar trees that makes the air cool and clear. Dharamkot village is well known for it's natural beauty and the scenic view of mighty Dhauladhar mountains standing just adjacent to the village.
After Dharamkot, one crosses the Galu Devi Temple when the climb and the trail become demanding. With luck and if the timing is right, one may be able to sight some high-altitude birds and the occasional musk deer and even a rare black bear. Triund is a popular picnic spot and you may well cross a few dozen hikers. This is also the base of several more demanding trek routes that go over the Dhauladhar mountains – one of the more frequented routes is to over the Indrahara Pass into Chamba. The views all around are magnificent and the grassy meadows, cedar forests with the backdrop of the snow-covered peaks is a delightful sight.
