Transport
There is an airport about eighteen kilometers from lower
Dharamsala connecting to Delhi, Pathankot, Kullu, Shimla. Dharamsala can also be
reached by an overnight or day bus from Delhi, which takes about twelve
to fourteen hours.
A more comfortable alternative would be to take a
twelve-hour train trip from Delhi to Pathankot and then a four-hour bus
or three-hour taxi ride to Dharamsala. From there buses and taxis
regularly shuttle people to McLeod Ganj.
There are a number of hotels that offer board and
lodging for different budgets. All the high and medium budget hotels
have bathrooms attached to rooms with running hot and cold water. Low
budget hotels have communal bathrooms with running cold water. In these
hotels one can order for hot water in buckets. Many of the hotels offer
a wide range of rooms with different rents.
