Dharamshala, Mountain city in Himachal Pradesh, India.

Dharamshala rests at an elevation of 1,457 meters in the Kangra district, surrounded by pine forests and Himalayan oak trees.

The East India Company gained control of Dharamshala in 1846 after the First Anglo-Sikh War, transforming it into a hill station within British India.

The Tsuglagkhang complex serves as a central gathering point where Buddhist monks, pilgrims, and visitors engage in religious practices and meditation.

The town connects to major transportation networks through National Highway NH 503, regular bus services, and flights from Kangra Ghaggal airport.

The Norbulingka Institute maintains traditional Tibetan craftsmanship through dedicated programs in art, sculpture, and textile creation.
