McLeod Ganj, a Himalayan town famed for temples, meditation courses and ashrams, is witnessing an influx of domestic tourists seeking refuge from rising temperatures in dry and tropical states across India. Many come to enjoy cricket matches with a view of the Dhauladhar mountain range over the newly built stadium.
Once monks in burgundy red robes dominated McLeod Ganj's main market. The town was where thousands of Tibetans fled after the 1959 uprising against the Chinese in Tibet sent the Dalai Lama into exile here.
It became a refuge for foreign hippy travellers and others seeking a quiet and contemplative environment. But now vehicles and clusters of Indian tourists crowd these lanes, filming videos and clicking selfies. More than 150 new hotels have been built or opened in the past four years.
