Description
Come and join me for a Kora walk in Dharamshala, one of the greatest Tibetan settlements in India. In this Online Experience, I will take you on this Tibetan holy walk around the Dalai Lama's residence and monastery situated on a hill above the town of Dharamshala. Here, we will meet some locals and monks and nuns from the monastery and walk and chant the holy mantras with them.
During our walk, you will get a picturesque view of the Dhauladhar mountain range of the Himalayas. Walking under the Tibetan prayer wheels and flags, we will discuss in detail the spiritual life and the Dalai Lama, as well as talk about Tibetan customs and traditions and how they have harmonised with local Himalayan tribes and culture.
At the end of the walk, I will take you to the street market of Mcleodganj, where we will see local people and the Tibetan refugee community selling handmade items such as woollen clothing, handicrafts, dry fruits, and local street food. This will also allow us to interact with some more locals in the area before we finally wrap up our tour and say our goodbyes.
