Dharamshala is the adopted home of the Dalai Lama and the exiled Tibetan government, with the Dalai Lama’s residence in the village of McLeodGanj.
With 25 rooms and suites and a restaurant, pool, gym and future plans to include a Karma Spa, Karma Dharamshala is an ideal place to find serenity and relaxation.
“I am delighted to announce the acquisition of our newest resort in the beautiful and spiritual town of Dharamshala,” said John Spence, founder and chairman of Karma Group. “We will be renovating and refurbishing the property to bring it up to our high standards and expect to have it open for the main Indian holiday season.”
Surrounded by the snow topped Dhauladhar ranges, the property is built on the side of a cedar forested mountain with sweeping views down into the valley below and the adjoining tea gardens.
Sometimes known as ‘Dhasa’ (a combination of Lhasa and Dharamshala), Dharamshala is a popular destination for tourists wishing to visit Tibetan temples and monasteries and is a starting point to a number of trekking trails that lead trekkers across Dhauladhar into the upper Ravi Valley and Chambra district.
