Tibetan Exile Daily Life Dharamsala and McLeod Ganj - India

A Tibetan monk dances among the fallen rhododendron flowers on the trail to Triund ridge above Dharamsala, India, April 20, 2025. At the foot of the Dhauladhar range of the Himalayas, Dharamsala, the heart of the Tibetan exile community, is home to the Central Tibetan Administration and His Holiness the XIVth Dalai Lama. Though the exiled Tibetans have made a home in Dharamsala and other parts of India and the world, many long to return to Tibet, the land of snows.
