About this selection

McLeod Ganj — "Little Lhasa" — is the most concentrated centre of Tibetan Buddhist culture outside Tibet. Monasteries, thangka painters, and Himalayan trekking. McLeod Ganj has a strong Ashtanga lineage. The Mysore-style morning practice, the self-paced approach, and the direct teacher-student relationship of this tradition suit the retreat culture here particularly well. March is one of McLeod Ganj's best months for retreat — Himachal Pradesh's climate is at its most conducive to outdoor practice, the crowds are manageable, and teachers report that groups arriving in March tend to go deeper than at other times of year. It's a popular booking month, so plan ahead.
