There are times when you wish to go on for a journey to a place where you can find all the most desirable elements of pleasure. These places could be the ones which can give you the spiritual moorings, a time to introspect within your self, away from the hustle and bustle of day today workings. These could also be the places which you the opportunity to learn more about an altogether new culture and its lifestyle. Dharamsala is one such place which combines these two aspects in a perfect way. Being home to the Tibetan spiritual path leader, the Dalai Lama, the place is known for its Buddhist connections and monks who steadfastly adhere to peace and non violence as the guiding principles of their lives. The place has become internationally famous for all those who want to come and see for themselves how the Tibetans live. If you are coming from abroad to hobnob with its habitants, then there are sufficient accommodations, communication facilities and all other basic amenities which the tourists can aspire for. There are Mcleodganj hotels and Dharamsala hotels, resplendent villas, guesthouses and wonderful resorts which can make your visit worthwhile.
There is no dearth of the communication medium as well. Even though you will be amongst the people who are very traditional and conservative, their daily interaction with the tourists from all parts of the world over a period spanning decades has molded their cultural aspects in such a way which sees a rare combination of modernity with the traditionalism. Mcleodgnaj, the place where the Dalai Lama actually lives, is a place where there are lesser number of accommodations. For this reason, most of the tourist rush is for the lower reaches of the city of Dharamsala where the Dharamsala hotels are full of tourists for most part of the year. Mcleodganj hotels also have all the modern facilities of communication including the internet facilities for the benefit of the tourists who want to remain in touch over the net with their near and deal ones.
When it comes to the medical facilities, the presence of the emergency evacuation vans and other automobiles ensures that, in case of medical emergencies, the people are rushed out to Dharamsala where they can be attended to by the medical staff. The situation of Mcleodganj on the hill top limits the availability of space for various purposes but this limitation is sought to be removed by providing most of the facilities at Dharamsala. This could also be the reason why Dharamsala is more popular world over as compared with Mcleodganj.
The most dominant feature of the Tibetan culture and also the one which distinguishes them from the others, rendering them easily identifiable, are the monks and their art of meditation. This is something for which the people from all over the world come to visit this place so that they can learn the art of meditation and be at peace with themselves. There is a lot which they can find and rejoice for living the rest of their lifetime in a better way.
