Tibetan Picnic Tents in Dharamsala India...

Eating out is a pleasure for enjoying the scenic outdoors of the Himalayas. The ethenic Gaddi tribe and the Tibetan refugee community both have their roots in a semi-nomadic life style. They would pitch their tents by the river and spend their days swimming, eating and singing songs. The most elaborate of all was the famous Peacock Tent, which was pitched on the Duguthang plain outside Lhasa to welcome the 14th Dalai Lama to Lhasa, on his arrival from his native Amdo.

The 'ghur' is made of heavy cotton and copiously decorated with appliquéd designs. If you can be a part of an outdoor picnic with the Tibetans and the Monks..it is the most unique and relaxing holiday experience of eating out.
