Dharamsala Street Scene

Dharamsala is an interesting town in a beautiful setting, about 6,500 feet up in the Himalayan foothills. This is where the Dalai Lama has his palace-in-exile, and it contains a mixture of Indians and Tibetan refugees. It still has a '60s kind of feel, with lots of counterculture types, dharma bums, and political activists working for the Tibetan cause.

We were here for two days, attending teachings by the Dalai Lama and exploring the town. This is a part of India that I'd definitely consider coming back to (especially during the Dalai Lama's teachings!).
