McLeod Ganj — "Little Lhasa" — is the most concentrated centre of Tibetan Buddhist culture outside Tibet. Monasteries, thangka painters, and Himalayan trekking.

The teachers here carry lineages that trace back generations. December falls outside McLeod Ganj's peak yoga season, which runs March, April, May.
