Dharamshala lies on the spur of the Dhauladhar Range of the Outer Himalayas of India. This beautiful range rises out to a height of 5200 metres (17,000ft).
This spiritual capital is in the Kangra Valley and is surrounded by dense coniferous forests consisting mainly of stately Deodar Cedar trees. The city of Dharamshala is divided into two parts, the lower division is the Dharamshala town whereas the upper division is known as Mcleodganj. Blessed with spectacular scenes of nature, the calm and serene hill stations
Bhagsu is a village near Mcleodganj in Dharamshala district, Himachal Pradesh. Bhagsunag is located at a distance of 11 km from Dharamshala. It’s among the best tourist attractions in Dharamshala. Because of the waterfall and close proximity to Mcleodganj, Dharamkot and the Triund Trek, Bhagsu has become a popular place for tourists to stay.
Lower Dharamshala is the busy commercial area. If you find yourself visiting during peak tourist season, escape to the pilgrimage site of Bhagsunag, two kilometres from Mcleodganj. Home to the spectacular Bhagsu falls and an ancient temple built in honour of Lord Shiva, this is a great place for some spiritual sightseeing in Dharamshala.
