Dharamsala Hotels..!

In Dharamshala, we can find many kinds of Hotels and Guest Houses, Homes and accommodation as per one’s own budget and personal choice. I have over the years discovered that in the India Himalayas of Dharamsala, rather than staying in big concrete Hotels,the International Travellers have enjoyed their experience more.. by staying in Himalayan Homes in the lap of green nature, in the scenic background of the Dharamshala Dhauladhar Ranges !

We are on this page offering you a choice of Mountain Retreats ! Here you can discover healthy herbal meals..drink himalayan tea. Stay in the quiet ambience of traditional rooms decorated with handmade tibetan furniture…tibetan rugs and the warm hospitality of the nomadic people of the mountains.

Ode to Dharamshala !

Sunset moves up the Dhauladhars, Rock brightens to bronze light, Crossing from the West, Sharpens fluted ridges, Casts vertical shadows, Pas de deux. Earth and Fire, Last touch before night.
