McLeod Ganj / Dharamshala
5 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/Chandigarh6 comments cited below
What people say, in short
McLeod Ganj is shown here with related Dharamshala suggestions pooled rather than listed as a second destination. One commenter recommends McLeod Ganj's markets and a trek to Triund; another mentions Losar in the area, without establishing current festival dates. Other replies name the destination or recommend Dharamshala for a family break. There is dissent: one commenter finds Dharamshala too city-like and short on things to do, preferring Bir. Triund is suggested as a trek, not a verified road-accessible destination, and the comments do not agree on a trip length.
