Tibetan Buddhist meditation in the Himalayan home of the Dalai Lama — McLeod Ganj's monasteries, mindfulness teaching, and the deep stillness of the high hills.
Dharamshala is where Tibetan Buddhism lives in exile — and where many travellers first meet a teaching that changes them.
This retreat places you in McLeod Ganj, near the Dalai Lama's seat, for a structured introduction to Tibetan Buddhist meditation and mindfulness in an authentic centre.
Reach McLeod Ganj. Orientation and evening meditation.
Guided Buddhist meditation, mindfulness sessions, monastery visits (Namgyal, Tsuglagkhang), philosophy talks.
Silent practice, mountain walks, integration. Optional Bhagsu/Dharamkot visit.
