Irrespective of the month and season of your visit, you will always find tourists in Mcleodganj and quite a vast variety of them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This small town serves as a perfect destination for family vacations as well as adventurous ones. It also works great for people looking forward to a budget trip or a quick getaway over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is a whole lot of places and activities here to keep you occupied for days, weeks even. The only thing that will limit you in Mcleodganj will only be the time that you can afford.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Image: <a

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I will begin with first listing down all the tourist attractions in Mcleodganj followed by a brief description of all of them. After covering places to visit, I will then talk about some activities and other fun things to do in Mcleodganj.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bhagsu_Falls\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Bhagsu Falls<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This waterfall is probably the most visited tourist place in all of Mcleodganj. It is located in the village of Bhagsu in upper Mcleodganj and can be reached by 3 kilometers long trek. Though the trek may sound a little long to some people, it is actually more of a fun walk that even elders and children can complete easily.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Starting from Mcleodganj, you will first reach Bhagsu Nag temple after 2 kilometers long trek and then continue walking to the waterfall for another 1 kilometer. It is in fact only the final stretch of this trek that can seem a bit difficult to some people but there are tea shops and small eateries along the trek where you can take short breaks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The waterfall is about 20 meters tall and is known for its lush green surroundings and mesmerizing scenery. You can enjoy the pleasant walk, click pictures of the beautiful vistas around and take a dip in the waterfall.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is a perfect trek for people of all ages and groups. Most of the tourists end the trek at the waterfall and return to Mcleodganj from here but if you were up for it, then you can continue even further to Shiva Cafe; details on which I have covered further in the article.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/best-time-to-visit-mcleodganj-and-dharamshala\/\"><strong>Best time to Visit Mcleodganj and Dharamshala<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bhagsu_Nag_Temple\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Bhagsu Nag Temple<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bhagsu Nag Temple is an ancient 18th-century temple and falls on the way as you trek to the waterfall. It is dedicated to Lord Shiva and there are a couple of legends related to it. One legend says that Lord Shiva visited and blessed the spot himself in ancient times due to which this temple was built and dedicated to him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As per another legend, the temple was built by King Bhagsu to honor the snake god. Surrounded by coniferous forests, towering hills, and a beautiful waterfall a kilometer away, the location of the temple is quite scenic and it is among the most visited places in Mcleodganj. Its stone walls are covered with beautiful carvings and inscriptions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is also a pool in the temple which is said to have been built by the Gurkha rulers originally. Tourists are allowed to take a dip in the pool but it does get a bit crowded here sometimes.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shiva_Cafe\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Shiva Cafe<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Coming from Mcleodganj, you will first reach Bhagsu Nag Temple and then Bhagsu Nag waterfall. Most people return from here and you could too but if you are up for a bit more trekking, then you can continue further to Shiva Caf\u00e9. It is actually just a small caf\u00e9 but I am listing it as a tourist place because of its location.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Trekking to the cafe will have you walk on a not-so-well-laid-out path and it does get a bit rough at a few spots. But the location of the cafe and the food here will make it worth the effort. It is a good spot to sit and relax, have something to eat, and click great pictures with a great background.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/monasteries-in-mcleodganj-and-dharamshala\/\"><strong>Monasteries in Mcleodganj and Dharamshala<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Triund\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Triund<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Next in line for tourist places in Mcleodganj would definitely be the Triund Trek. It is counted among the top trails in the country and considered the crown jewel of Mcleodganj.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While the short trek to Bhagsu Waterfall is more of a family affair, it is Triund that rules the hearts of anyone looking forward to some serious trekking and possibly camping as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Please note that though I said \u201cserious trekking\u201d, the difficulty level of Triund is more on the easy to intermediate side. As long as you are fit enough to walk for a few hours, you will easily be able to complete it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The total length of the trek is about 7 kilometers that will take you to the top of the peak where you can stay for the night either in the camps or the HPPWD rest house. That is correct, there is cemented accommodation available here as well but you will have to book this in advance. Please read <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/hppwd-rest-house-list-contact-details-charges-book\/\">How to Book HPPWD Rest House<\/a><\/strong> for more details on the topic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The entire length of the trek is marked with lush green vistas all around, cloudy trails, views of several Himalayan peaks of the Dhauladhar range,\u00a0 sightings of rare birds, and herds of grazing sheep.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I have covered the topic of Triund Trek in detail in another article, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/triund-trek\/\">How to Plan your Trek to Triund<\/a><\/strong>. If you have the time and the stamina, the Triund trek in Mcleodganj is not to be missed at any cost. \u00a0However, there are a few places where the trail gets a bit steep and it is not advised to attempt it with family including elders and children. At places, you may even have to hop over some small boulders.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sunset_Point\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sunset Point<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As the name suggests, it is a popular spot in Mcleodganj to catch an amazing sunset view. It is located about 4 kilometers from the main town on Naddi road and is also known as the Naddi viewpoint. The view at dusk from here is stunning. It is, in fact, two of my favorite spots to catch a sunset view, the other one being Kali ka Tibba near Chail.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As the sun starts to set, it would seem as if the entire sky has been set on fire. On one side, you will have the sun going down while on the other side, its rays will be turning the Dhauldhars peaks into a glowing orange.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is truly a sight that you must not miss while in Mcleodganj. Even if you were in the town for a day, you should still make time to be at this spot by the end of the day. Dal Lake, another tourist spot, is nearby so you can cover both of the places together.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Saint_John_in_the_Wilderness_Church\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saint John in the Wilderness Church <\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This church was built in 1852, by Lord Elgin, once the Governor-General and Viceroy of India. It is said that Lord Elgin visited Mcleodganj and was so mesmerized by the place that he even decided to make it the summer capital of India. He lived the final days of his life here and is buried very close to the church.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The glass windows of the church were painted by a Belgian artist. The church is about a kilometer before you reach the main town and can even be visited while on your way to Mcleodganj or while returning. It is surrounded by lush green forests all around and is a must-visit for anyone visiting Mcleodganj. I will personally recommend taking a short stop at the church.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Namgyal_Monastery\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Namgyal Monastery<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Even if you do not have an interest in monasteries or Tibetan or Buddhist culture, a visit to Namgyal Monastery still comes highly recommended. Often referred to as &#8220;Dalai Lama&#8217;s Temple&#8221;, it is the personal monastery of the 14th Dalai Lama. The key role of this monastery is to assist with rituals involving the Dalai Lama himself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Its main tantric practices reportedly include those of Kalachakra, Yamantaka, Chakrasamvara, Guhyasamaja, and Vajrakilaya due to which it is also often referred to as Namgyal Tantric College. It is located at a distance of about 5 kilometers from Mcleodganj.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/delhi-to-mcleodganj-a-life-altering-journey\/\"><strong>Delhi to Mcleodganj \u2013 A Life-Altering Journey<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kangra_Fort\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Kangra Fort<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This ancient fort is located about 25 kilometers from the main Mcleodganj town, 20 kilometers from Dharamshala on the outskirts of the town of Kangra.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is among the largest forts in all of Himachal and probably the oldest dated one in India. There is a driveable road that goes all the way to the fort and you can find a bus as well if you went traveling by public transport.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was built by the royal Rajput family of Kangra State and had been subject to numerous wars and invasions throughout its history. The fort was heavily damaged in an earthquake on 4 April 1905 but still retains its royal and magnificent beauty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is a must-visit for anyone with an interest in historical monuments, ancient architecture, or even photography. The location of the fort too is very scenic at the confluence of Banganga and Majhi rivers. As per the local legend, the person who owns this fort owns the entire Kangra.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are a couple of other tourist places as well near the fort. The famous <strong>Jayanti Mata temple<\/strong> built on a hilltop and <strong>Maharaja Sansar Chand Katoch Museum<\/strong> run by the Royal Family of Kangra too are well worth a visit.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Masroor_Rock-Cut_Temples\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Masroor Rock-Cut Temples<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Masrur Temples, also referred to as Masroor Temples or Rock-cut Temples at Masrur, are another historical monument near Mcleodganj and often called its hidden gem. It is a set of 15 temples carved into rocks and is an amazing example of fine architecture.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These temples are among the least explored ones in all of Himachal and you will hardly find any tourists around here. The entire setting of the temple is amazingly scenic with Dhauladhar Mountains in its backdrop. These temples are what you can truly call man-made wonder and untouched natural beauty put together.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you want to visit an offbeat destination in Mcleodganj, then Masrur Temples is where you should go. It is located about 50 kilometers from Mcleodganj and a visit here will require at least half a day.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tibet_Museum\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Tibet Museum<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Tibet Museum is located near the main temple of Dalai Lama and is a great place to visit if you want to learn about the history of Tibet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They have a collection of over 30,000 photographs depicting the Chinese occupation of Tibet, the whole issue around human rights abuses by Chinese forces in Tibet; and the series of events that led to Dalai Lama&#8217;s exile. There is no entry fee to the museum and they also run a documentary on Tibet twice a day here.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Norbulingka_Institute\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Norbulingka Institute<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is another place that you can visit to learn more about Tibetan Culture. They have some workshop sessions as well but it will cost you Rs. 50 as an entry fee here (if you were not a Tibetan). For Tibetans, the entry fee is Rs. 20.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/sightseeing-in-mcleodganj\/\"><strong>Sightseeing in Mcleodganj \u2013 A Natural &amp; Cultural Paradise<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dal_Lake\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Dal Lake<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As the name suggests, this small lake is named after a much larger and better-known one located in Srinagar, Kashmir. It is located about 4 kilometers from Mcleodganj near the village of Tota Rani. There is a small temple next to the lake dedicated to Durveshwar Mahadev, due to which this lake too is considered sacred.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is also a festival fair that is held here once every year. Boating in the lake is available and it can be a good spot to visit if you had children traveling with you. But it does get a bit crowded here as well.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gunna_Devi_Temple\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Gunna Devi Temple<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This temple is located at a distance of about 8 kilometers from Mcleodganj and 13 kilometers from Dharamshala; at an altitude of 2310 meters. The temple is dedicated to Goddess Kali and is a pilgrim center of the Gaddi shepherds. Completely surrounded by forests of oak and deodar, the temple gives stunning and close views of the Dhauladhar Mountains.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To get here, you will first drive to Naddi Village near Dal Lake and then walk the last 4 kilometers to the temple. It will take you about 2 to 3 hours to reach the temple from Mcleodganj and if you wanted to, you can even stay here for the night. The temple has basic dormitory-type accommodation facilities providing mattresses and blankets for sleeping over.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kareri_Lake\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Kareri Lake<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Kareri Lake is a high-altitude, shallow, freshwater lake located at an altitude of 2,934 meters. It is fed by the melting snow from nearby mountain peaks of Minkiani and remains completely frozen during the winter months. There is also a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva on a hilltop near the lake.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is a very scenic trek that will present you with some amazingly scenic and memorable vistas throughout the trail. Please note though that this trek will need about 3 days at least to be completed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The total trekking distance from Dharamshala to Dharamshala is about 28 kilometers. Kareri Lake also serves as a base for trekking further to Minkiani Pass (4,250 meters) and Baleni Pass (3,710 meters).<\/p>\n<p>To know more, please take a look at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/kareri-lake-trek\/\">How to Plan a Trip to Kareri Lake<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Indrahaar_Pass_and_Minkiani_Pass\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Indrahaar Pass and Minkiani Pass<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you are into trekking and have the time then you can continue to trek further after Kareri Lake towards the passes of Indrahaar and Minkiani. This will be a trek of at least 6 to 7 days. If done at a relaxed pace then this would be a 9 days trek ideally.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dharamkot\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Dharamkot<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dharamkot is a small village about 8 kilometers from Mcleodganj. It is also known as a &#8220;Hippie village&#8221; because a lot of foreigners have taken residence here. On the crest of a hill above McLeodGanj, Dharamkot offers wide views of the Kangra Valley and mountains of the Dhauladhar range.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are a few restaurants and guest houses here and a lot of people prefer to head to Dharamkot instead because it is less crowded here as compared to the busy town of Mcleodganj.

But if I am to list must-visit places in Mcleodganj then Bhagsu Waterfall, Bhagsu Nag Temple, Namgyal Monastery, and Triund will be the four.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These places can easily be covered in 4 days. Reach Mcleodganj on Day 1 and relax. On Day 2, visit Bhagsu waterfall; and temple and take a stroll through the market enjoying some local food and shopping. You can pay a visit to the monastery towards the later part of the day. On Day 3, climb up to Triund and return by evening. You will return home on Day 4.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you were, however, traveling with family then you will have to keep Triund out of the plan and you can replace it with either a visit to Kangra Fort or Masrur temples.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vargiskhan.com\/log\/mcleodganj-to-triund-trek\/\"><strong>Mcleodganj to Triund Trek \u2013 A Day of Adventure &amp; Fun<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_to_do_in_Mcleodganj\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Things to do in Mcleodganj<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After places to see, let me now talk about some of the tourist activities to do in Mcleodganj (apart from visiting all of the above-mentioned places).<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Relax_and_Have_Fun\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Relax and Have Fun<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This sounds like an obvious thing but I am still keeping it at top of the list. When you are in Mcleodganj, only focus on how you can make the best out of your time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There are plenty of places to visit here that I listed above and you should try to visit them all.
