6 Days Amritsar + Dharamsala: The Full Picture

Amritsar & Dharamsala Tour from Malaysia
This 6 day package pairs two of North India's most distinctive destinations: Amritsar, with its Golden Temple, and Dharamshala, the home of the Dalai Lama and Tibetan culture in exile.
A private vehicle and driver guide link the plains and the hills, with the scenic drive up to the foothills part of the experience.
The contrast between Sikh grandeur and Tibetan serenity makes this one of the most rewarding short tours in the north.
Dharamshala and McLeod Ganj
Dharamshala and the upper town of McLeod Ganj have been the seat of the Tibetan government in exile and the home of the Dalai Lama since 1959. The Tsuglagkhang Complex, the monasteries and the prayer flags give the town a deeply peaceful, spiritual atmosphere.
Set in the Himalayan foothills with pine forests and mountain views, it is a serene counterpoint to the energy of Amritsar.
