dharamsala

Dharamsala is absolutely enchanting, and not just because it is where the Dalai Lama chose to set up house after being exiled by the Chinese from Tibet. Or perhaps it IS partially because of that. It is quaint and peaceful.
It is beautiful. My friend and I arrived early this morning at 4. It was dark so we found a guesthouse completely blind. When the sun came up I went outside and it was like a dream. As i stood in my pajamas at the edge of a steep hill, taking in the mountainous scenery, snowy peeks and green trees, a maroon robed monk made her way up from the path below, followed by two dogs in tow.
The scene was like something out of a movie. For sure.
I look forward to exploring more over the next 6 days.
