About Dharamshala

Dharamshala, particularly its upper town McLeod Ganj, is a magical destination for digital nomads seeking inspiration from the Himalayas. As the home of the Tibetan government-in-exile and His Holiness the Dalai Lama, the town has a unique cultural blend of Indian and Tibetan influences. The stunning mountain views, crisp air, and spiritual atmosphere create an ideal environment for focused creative work. The growing nomad community here is tight-knit and supportive.
