McLeod Ganj

Yesterday we arrived in McLeod Ganj, home of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Government in exile. The travellers here appear to be a curious mix of young western hippy-types, Indian tourists, and Tibetan pilgrims. I'm not quite sure where we fit in, but I suppose into the hippy category! Jerome says "NOT".

This morning we visited the temple, where lots of monks and pilgrims were praying.

The main statue of Buddha, with food offerings of McVities biscuits and other goodies:
