• Festival

  Tibetan New Year (Losar)

  5 feb – 10 mrt · meestalChinees nieuwjaarSluitingen

  Three days that matter more in this settlement than in most: monastery dances at the main temple, families in new clothes, and half the Bhagsu cafes shut because their staff are off. Bron ↗

  Dalai Lama spring teachings

  20 feb – 20 mrt · meestalReligieus feestDrukBoek vroeg

  Several days of public teaching at Tsuglagkhang, announced only weeks ahead and free once you register in person. McLeod Ganj is full and the road up from Kangra is one long queue. Bron ↗

  Rhododendron on the Dhauladhar

  20 mrt – 5 mei · meestalWilde bloemen & bloei

  The forest above Naddi and on the climb to Triund goes red from around 2,000 metres up. It is the argument for walking the ridge in April rather than October.

  Monsoon on the Kangra slope

  25 jun – 15 sep · meestalRisico

  One of the wettest corners of India: the Dhauladhar wrings out the cloud directly over the town for ten weeks. Landslides shut the hill roads for a day at a time and the mountains are simply not there.
