This town is a popular destination among many foreigners that come here, on the one hand, specifically to meet and receive blessings from his Holiness, the one, and only Dalai Lama, and on the other hand, to practice yoga in a peaceful environment. Here, everybody is welcome, regardless of religion, race or country of origins. Once here, the international tourists are welcomed by many kind local people that seek only to make their stay here nice and pleasant. Due to the fact that the Dalai Lama resides here and due to the many Hindu temples where people pray to their Gods, the town is considered to be a sacred location. The Dharamsala also holds a great religious importance, which means that tourists traveling alone, particularly, women have nothing to fear.
