McLeod Ganj, India: In Search of the Dalaï Lama

<p>In the embrace of the majestic Himalayas, McLeod Ganj stands as a tranquil haven on the Indian landscape, a refuge located 1437 km from Tibet. This historic village became the sanctuary for the 14th Dalai Lama after a 15-day trek following the 1959 uprising against the Communist Party of China.</p> <p>McLeod Ganj, now known as &lsquo;Little Lhasa,&rsquo; echoes with the presence of a large Tibetan refugee community.</p> <p>Ascending towards McLeod Ganj at 1700 metres, we thrillingly navigated narrow, winding roads. Feeling the surge of adrenaline with every hair-raising twist and turn, we avoided collisions with sacred cows and deftly dodged rusty motorbikes. Faces &ndash; both young and old &ndash; blurred as they raced towards their destination.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/globetrotters/mcleod-ganj-india-in-search-of-the-dala%C3%AF-lama-5a18dd3c8835"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
