Dharmshala
Visit the Tsuglagkhang Complex — seat of His Holiness the Dalai Lama — which houses the Namgyal Monastery, Tibet Museum, and a sacred temple with Shakyamuni Buddha and Avalokitesvara statues. Watch monks debate in the courtyard in the late afternoon.
The Tibet Museum is deeply moving — an important documentation of the Tibetan cultural genocide. Dress modestly and ask before photographing monks.
