The Namgyal Monastery was first established by the 3rd Dalai Lama in 1575 in Tibet and was relocated to Dharamshala following the Tibetan uprising in 1959. The monastery currently houses around 200 Tibetan monks, who help preserve the monastery’s ancient rituals, artistic skills and traditions.

A visit to Dharmashala is incomplete without the visit to Dal Lake, named after the lake in Kashmir, its panoramic views and serenity are unparalleled. The lake offers boat rides and fishing can be arranged with permission from concerned authorities. It is also the starting point of a hiking trail and is a pass-through for many others.
