Dharamkot
धर्मकोट
A mountain village above McLeod Ganj, home to meditation centres, yoga studios and backpacker cafes, and the starting point for the Triund trek.
The village spreads along the hillside. It is home to the Vipassana meditation centre Dhamma Sikhara and the Tushita Meditation Centre, along with many yoga and Vipassana courses. Israeli food and Western-style cafes in the narrow lanes are backpacker hangouts. It is about 10 minutes by tuk-tuk from McLeod Ganj, or a 40-minute walk. It is ideal for a few days of slow-paced retreat.
