Dharmasala is associated with yoga since a very long time. It is known to be the home of his Holiness, the Dalai Lama. Its historical affinity can be sensed through the spirituality blended into the air. The Himalayas have been serving as the adobe for the enlightened sages since eons. It also served as the center for research where a number of sages dedicated their lives researching over great streams of knowledge and eventually resulted in emergence of invaluable technologies and sciences like yoga, Ayurveda and various other such vedic sciences.
The Dhauladhar range of the Himalayas surround like a fence around Dharmasala. It presents an excellent scenic Kangra valley below and a wonderful view of the majestic mountains in the front. The rhododendron and the tall pines provide a panoramic view of the surrounding area.
