The Perfect Balance

Why This Location Works

McLeod Ganj has energy, culture, and diverse dining options. Dharamkot offers silence and forest views, though it sits uphill from most amenities. Bhagsu holds the middle ground beautifully.

1

You can walk to the Bhagsu Waterfall in 15 minutes. Locals pray there, tourists take photos, and both coexist peacefully. McLeod Ganj sits 2 kilometers away, close enough to walk or take a quick rickshaw. The Dalai Lama Temple, Tibetan markets, and delicious momos remain accessible without needing a car. Back in Bhagsu, evenings quiet down naturally. Sleep comes easier here.

2

The area attracts diverse travelers: Indian families, backpackers embracing slow travel, digital nomads who work from inspiring mountain locations, yoga teachers between trainings, writers seeking focused creative space, and anyone wanting to pause and reset.

3

Dharamshala has become one of India's emerging digital nomad hubs, with strong internet, affordable long-term stays in Dharamkot and Bhagsu, and a welcoming community of remote workers.

What You Get Here

The Rooms

Clean, comfortable, functional. Private bathrooms with reliable hot water. Some rooms have balconies facing the mountains, and mornings there offer something special. We focus on spaces where you can rest deeply and trust the cleanliness.

The Food

Simple vegetarian home cooking. Dal, khichdi, fresh rotis, seasonal vegetables. Light meals based loosely on Ayurvedic principles, which means food that settles well and keeps you energized. Optional breakfast. Tea is always available. Many guests eat with us because it tastes homemade and nourishing. Others enjoy exploring the many excellent cafés nearby.

The WiFi

Works well for video calls, regular work, and browsing. Most remote workers find it reliable for daily needs.

Yoga & Meditation

Morning Hatha yoga happens most days, gentle practice taught by Shivam, who brings 35+ years of experience. Some breathwork, maybe evening meditation when people want it. Completely optional. About half the guests never join a session, and that's absolutely welcome.

Long-Term Stays

We offer monthly rates that make sense for people staying longer. Writers finishing books, remote workers on workation, yoga students attending nearby trainings, and travelers who want to experience India more deeply. The routine here supports focused work: quiet mornings, optional structure, and a community that develops naturally.

What's Around Here

Bhagsu Waterfall

15-minute walk. The water's freezing cold, fed directly by mountain streams. There's a small temple that locals consider sacred. Gets crowded on weekends, but go early or late and you'll mostly have it to yourself.

Triund Trek

The classic Dharamshala hike. Takes 4-5 hours up to about 2,850 meters. The views from the top are genuinely incredible; the entire Dhauladhar range spreads out before you. Doable for regular fitness levels. Consider hiring a local guide for your first time.

Dalai Lama Temple Complex

The Main attraction in McLeod Ganj. Beautiful, genuinely peaceful space. If you time it right, you can attend teachings or prayer sessions. The whole area around it pulses with Tibetan Buddhist culture, shops, momos, monks, and prayer wheels. A meaningful visit for travelers of all backgrounds.

Dharamkot Village

Short hike uphill from Bhagsu. Quieter, with more yoga studios and fewer tourists. Good for an afternoon when you need more solitude. Also, the starting point for some longer trails.

Café Scene

Dharamshala has a wonderful café culture. Dozens of spots with solid WiFi, good coffee, Israeli food, Tibetan food, Italian food, and extensive vegan options. You can work from different cafés every day for a month without repeating. Remote workers appreciate this variety.

Day Trips

Kangra Fort (an impressive historical fortification), Norbulingka Institute (traditional Tibetan arts), tea gardens in the valley, and various monasteries. Once you've explored the immediate Bhagsu/McLeod circuit, these make excellent day trips.
