r/Dharamshala

Hey me and my friends are in bhagsu hosteller stay and we are wanting one escort for paid fun so do let me know

I'm curious if anyone has a story like this. You start the trek with strangers, have a few conversations along the way, maybe share a sunset or tea at the top, and somehow that random person becomes a close friend, travel buddy, or even someone you still talk to today.

If you've had an experience like that on Triund, I'd love to hear your story.

I'll be coming for a solotrip to dharmshala around 25 September or around 10 october. My plan includes triund trek and dharamshala and anything else there's too see. Which date is better 25 September or 10 october. Worried about rain 🌧️☔

I’m coming here for first time….can anyone tell me all the places to visit nearby
Also should I book hotel in Dharamshala or McLeodgarg ??

and which one have scooty parking

Hi guys if trekking is not possible due to rain, what are some other outdoor exploration that we can do?
For a group of 4, would like something adventurous.

Which are the best cafes to listen to live bands and to enjoy the backpacker vibe at Dharamkot / McLeod?

Want to know the good weekend scenes. I believe the hills are where everyone escapes to from costal hubs like Goa / Varkala.

So what’s happening here? Coming here to relax this weekend
Thanks!

With the monsoons and landslides, is it safe for tourists to visit in Aug week 1-3? Planning to go on a solo trip.

Same as above

I am concerned after people shared reels about rain and landslides,

Locals please let me know.

Also any hotels recommendations ( good one's, with beautiful view ).

Wana have coffee and chat?

Preferring F

I'm a solo traveler currently in dharamshala and planning to do the Triund trek tomorrow (July 1). If anyone else is going, or planning another nearby trek, I'd be happy to join.

I'm not looking for a guided group, just some fellow hikers to share the trail with. Let me know if you're interested!

Hey, I'm in Dharamkot and in the mood to explore nearby places. Looking for a 2 wheeler on rent

So I'm visiting dharmashala with two of my friends and I want to know where we can stay, we want dorms and what are the fair prices if we want to rent scooties or if we opt for taxi services

Please help out:)

Visiting dharamshala this week with parents. Parents are keen on temples and pilgrimage spots. Already have Brajeshwari Devi (Kangra) on the list. Would love suggestions around Dharamshala / McLeod Ganj / Palampur area.

Also looking for some good suggestions for pure veg places to eat.

Me and my friend have arrived at dharamshala this morning. We're currently staying at Chhitwadi. We're looking for a long stay in either -

Dharamkot

Naddi or

Bhagsu

Please suggest some homestays or properties. Would be nice if you've stayed there or know about the experience. Thanks

Hi everyone,

I’m currently planning for my retirement and looking to buy a place in Dharamsala. I’m based in Mumbai right now, and I'm trying to relocate to the hills for the long term. I’ve always had a massive soft spot for heritage architecture, so finding an old heritage home or a property with that classic vibe is at the very top of my wishlist.

I’ve been browsing online and visited last year, but I’m completely exhausted by fake/ghost listings.

What I’m looking for:

• Trustworthy Agents: Recommendations for genuine estate agents or boutique property companies in Dharamsala (Kotwali, Yol Cantt, McLeodGanj, or nearby areas like Sidhpur/Rakkar) that actually have real, verified listings.
• Heritage Homes: Has anyone successfully bought a heritage home here as a non-Himachali? I know about the HP Tenancy and Land Reforms Act restrictions regarding agricultural land, but I'm hoping there are legal avenues, leasehold options, or specific notified area rules for buying heritage properties.

Any leads, personal experiences, or general advice would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hi,F(23), im planning to visit dharamshala next week for the first time and it’s gonna be my first solo trip too. So I really need help to choose my stay, did my research on zostel, tho little nervous. Is it really safe, does the hostel have female dorm.
Would really appreciate your help, thank you.
