The 10 best Specialty lodgings in Dharamsala, India

May 15, 2023 Agatha Simes

Serenely spiritual Dharamsala is home to the largest Tibetan temple outside of Tibet. It’s known for its religious iconography and is the monastery of the Dalai Lama, who holds public lectures a few times a year. Once you’ve restored your spiritual energy, enjoy a picturesque stroll to Bhagsu Waterfall or climb the hill to Triund to bask in stunning views of the Himalayas.

ESS and Bee resorts has a beautiful mountain view to the snow clad mountains. Since we visited in early November could not see much of snow... but the view is excellent. Its a small 5 room resort and since we friends had occupied all five, it was like a private apt for us. We were served breakfast at the hill top with the scenic view and got chance to click amazing pics for our memories... definitely 5 star for room service and food by Navneet and Sanjay.... and also their photographic skills....

Golden View B&B

Wish I could live here

Reviewed By Vidya V

Such incredible views, you've got to see to believe. We spent the better part of our first day just sitting in the balcony watching the sky change colors. Only 100 steps separate it from the chaotic streets of McLeod, yet it feels like it's tucked away in a quiet alternate universe. Some of the best eateries in town are right along the street where the stairs open - do try Lobsang's Four Seasons, Woeser Bakery, and Crepe Pancake hut. Room was clean, spacious, well-lit and airy, bathroom had 24x7 hot water, wifi was awesome, and there were cosy sitting areas both by the window and out on the balcony. What more can one want? Thank you Dipti, Adam, and Oscar the Cat for making us feel so welcome :)

Personalised service, large rooms, wonderful views and WiFi

Reviewed By Ila I

Top notch views. Spacious rooms. Nilesh the cook rustles up tasty and amazing meals, right from parathas to juices to porridge and more. Laundry inexpensive. WiFi works. Yoga on the terrace in a professional yoga hall. Overlooking HHH Dalai Lama’s abode. Hearing chants and prayer bells in the morning. 5 min walk from the market and restaurants. Salil, the yoga teacher is sincere and expert. Comfortable and budget stay. Can’t get better. Tea kettle. Mini fridge. Large study table. Don’t expect frills of large hotels with housekeeping staff. Etc etc. If you like large hotels, frills, reception, tv, in hotel restaurants etc then look for those impersonal and city-like-hotels. Fully recommend this stay.

The stay is memorable for me and my family of two young kids. Fresh and hot food was served with smiles on their face. The staff are locals and are really hospitable. The location and the tents make you comfortable and will feel like you are away from the rat race. Special mention about April & Westi. Don't miss to spot some birds like Great Barbet and Magpie. Overall it was a great stay and planning to visit soon.

Stayed at the the guest house for 2 days and had none complaints, 24x7 electricity, Hot Water, Television, Wifi Service, neat and clean rooms with the most humble owner and such a helpful receptionist. I'd recommend choosing rooms on 2nd floor as the view is spectacular from there. Bedsheets were clean, blanket was properly cleaned too, hand towel and bath towel were soft and tidy too, toilet was among the best you can get in mcleodganj. All in all enjoyed the stay and would recommend to others.

Reviewed By GoPlaces800591

I stayed for three days with my mother in October 2018. The manager is friendly enough, but as I have stayed a lot of different places in McLeod Ganj and Bhagsunag, the quality did just not live up to the price we got (we prebooked throug booking.com) The room was clean, but the toilet was absolutely not (we were so tired upon arrival that we just cleaned it ourselves instead of complaining). The reception is mostly empty, but it does provie the manager's phone number. The food was ok and so was the wi-fi, and if we had paid Rs 600 instead of about 2000 a night, I would rate it average. It's not worth the booking.com-prices, but if you can make a better deal, it's not that bad.
