Dharamshala, 245 km from Shimla, is the home of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government-in-exile. The drive follows NH-5 to Mandi, then the Mandi–Palampur–Dharamshala road through the Kangra valley. The route passes through Pandoh, Jogindernagar and Palampur (the tea capital of Himachal). McLeod Ganj, 9 km above Dharamshala town, is the main tourist hub with the Tsuglagkhang Complex, Bhagsu waterfall and Triund trek.
The road is mostly two-lane mountain road. Total driving time is 6–7 hours. The Kangra valley is warmer than Shimla; carry light clothes for Dharamshala and a layer for the evening.
