Tea with the Lama

Mcleod Ganj is the home (in exile) of the 14th Dalai Lama, and for 5 days it has also been the home of us!

Set on the top of a mountain, amongst many other mountains both smaller and larger, it is a relaxed place with lots of chai (super sweet tea) shops and Tibetan monks at every turn. We have spent the days soaking up the atmosphere and exploring the town and surrounding countryside. The scenery continues to be stunning at every turn, never more so than when we made the 4 hour hike up a mountain to the snowline at 2,900m where we relaxed in the sunshine looking down on the clouds below before descending via a waterfall to some well deserved momos and Thenthuck soup.
