What travellers are saying
- Bab L1 contributionVery nice walk up from Gallu Devi.
I was charged 200 rupees for the ticket, which states that the fee is 100.
So apparently the guy puts 100 in his own pocket.
The other 100 could be invested into somebody cleaning up all the litter left at the top.

- ninscLondon, UK227 contributionsWow what a place this is. I feel eternally grateful for the love, kindness, compassion and wisdom Tushita offers. Once in a lifetime experience which I will never forget. The teaching is of very high quality and meditations are led with empathy. I did the Introduction to Buddhism course which was simple and one which I believe every human should do. It's a pity that this isn't taught at schools.
Meals were vegetarian (also cater for vegans), fresh, healthy and so tasty. The peanut butter was so yummy. Food is served with love and kindness.
Laundry facilities were available onsite and shared bathrooms have indian and western style toilets. Showers also have hot water with good water pressure. I went during the cold season so it was very cold but they have thick duvets available for hire. I would also recommend taking a hot water bottle.
If in doubts of doing this course, just do it. No downside, it will only make you a better human being and give you tools to be able to manage the stressful western lives we live in. Tushita is an NGO and keeps costs minimal so please do help them in any way that you can.
Also worthwhile to visit and support is the Tibetan Children's village school nearby, also an NGO. We have a lot to be grateful for and Tushita is a one in a million find. Thank you Tushita.Written 24 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We did a gentle 8km around the mountain and back down into Bhagsu and McLeodGanj. The views from Naddi are great, no doubt, but for me it’s a starting point rather than a destination in itself.Written 15 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rick RBendigo, Australia189 contributionsI really enjoyed the ride down from McLeod Ganj to Dharamshala. Well organised, safety was good, the views fantastic. Plenty of photo opportunities. It may not open on time due to safety checks and it finished near a bus station in Dharamshala. Not expensive, great value.Written 7 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
