Dalay Lama bilan uchrashish
Uchrashuv (yoki hech bo'lmaganda ko'rish uchun) Dalay Lama bu ko'p odamlar uchun umr bo'yi orzu, buddistlar uchun intensiv ma'naviy tajriba va boshqa din vakillari uchun unutilmas lahzadir. Bunga erishish ham juda qiyin, shuning uchun uni rejalashtirmang. Buning uchun katta omad kerak.
Agar siz unga eng yaxshi zarbani berishni xohlasangiz, birinchi navbatda bunga ishonch hosil qiling Hazrati tashrif buyurganingizda shaharda. U tez-tez sayohat qiladi. Uning veb-saytida uning yillik marshruti keltirilgan va ofisga elektron pochta orqali sayohat sanalari tasdiqlangan. U rejalashtirilgan jamoat ta'limotlarini berayotganda, ular olomon. Bir necha kun oldin rejalashtirilganlari ham bor, shuning uchun Dharamsalada ko'z va quloqlarni oching. Asosiy maqsad - bu xususiy auditoriya. Uning veb-saytida u endi ularga bermayapti. Bu butunlay to'g'ri emas, lekin sizda juda yaxshi sabab yoki "kirish" bo'lishi kerak. Kotibasining ofisiga boring.
Dalay Lamaning ma'muriy ofisi Tsuglagxang majmuasida joylashgan. Uning oldida hind soqchilari joylashgan darvozasi bo'lgan uning uyiga duch kelsangiz, bu majmuaning oxirida, sizning o'ng tomoningizda so'nggi eshik. Ushbu ofis kun bo'yi, haftaning olti kuni ishlaydi. Stol ortidagi odam sizga onlayn ariza topshirishingizni va veb-sayt manzilingizni berishingizni aytadi. Internet-kafega boring va agar buni hali bajarmagan bo'lsangiz va bir necha oy oldin rad etilgan bo'lsangiz, shunday deb aytishingiz mumkin, ammo bu sizni hech qaerga olib kelmasligi mumkin. Agar resepsiyonist u erda yolg'iz bo'lsa, unda Hazrati xususiy auditoriyani bermayapti. Agar u erda bir nechta odamlar shaxsiy ma'lumotlari va pasportlari bilan qog'oz varaqlarini ushlab turishgan bo'lsa, u shaxsiy auditoriyani beradi, ular odatda tushga yaqinlashadi. Qattiq xavfsizlik bor va sizga sabab kerak. Hamma bilan suhbatlashing.
Ba'zi odamlar hujjatli filmlar guruhi yoki otasi siyosatchi bo'lgan oila singari guruh bo'lib kirishadi. Daramsalada hamma bilan suhbatlashing Hazrati, va siz uning xodimlarida ishlaydigan yoki uning xodimlarini biladigan odam bilan duch kelishingiz shart. Ofisda siz uchrashgan har bir kishining ismini yozing. Agar siz ko'rinadigan darajada kasal bo'lsangiz, unga asoslanib tinglovchilarni jalb qilishingiz mumkin. To'g'ri, bu "tomoshabinlar", ehtimol siz uchun duo qilishlari kerak bo'lgan vaqtni davom ettirishlari mumkin, bu taxminan 10 soniya va fotosuratga tushish uchun qo'shimcha $ 5. Fotosuratchi taqdim etiladi va sizga o'z kamerangizni olib kelishingizga ruxsat berilmaydi.
Dalay Lama bilan uchrashish butun dunyo Tibetliklarning orzulari, agar tinglovchilarni qabul qilsangiz, barakalaringizni hisoblang. Xata (oq sharf) olib keling, ularni bir necha so'mga sotib olish mumkin, lekin ehtimol siz ushbu xatani xazina qilayotganingiz uchun, yahshisi uchun ₹ 20 ni chiqarib tashlashingiz mumkin. Agar u siz bilan rasmga tushsa, xavfsizlik xizmati sizga bo'sh CD bilan qaytib kelishingizni aytadi va ular rasmni CD ga yozib qo'yishadi. Bo'sh kompakt-disklarni Temple Rd-dagi do'konlardan taxminan ₹ 50 ga sotib olish mumkin. Ismingizga kirishni istamagan kishiga minnatdorchilik bildirishni unutmang. Ularning monastiriga xayr-ehson qiling, ularning restoranida ovqatlaning yoki o'zingizga ma'qul bo'lgan narsalarni toping. Bu kutilmaydi, lekin buni qilish juda yoqimli.
Dalay-Lama har yili fevral-mart oylarida o'n kun yoki shunga o'xshash vaqtlarda, ba'zida esa ba'zida jamoat oldida ma'ruzalar o'qiydi. Tibet filiali xavfsizlik idorasida (Tibet mehmonxonasi yaqinida) ro'yxatdan o'tish zarur, iloji boricha 3-4 kun oldin, qisqa muddat ichida ogohlantirish mumkin bo'lsa ham. Tibet tilidan ingliz tiliga sinxron tarjimani tinglash uchun o'tiradigan yostiqni, naushnikli FM radiosini, choy uchun piyolani va sunhat / soyabonni olib keling, ammo xavfsizlik juda qattiq bo'lgani uchun imkon qadar kamroq. O'qitishning so'nggi kuni jamoat ibodatlari bilan yakunlanadi, buning uchun xavfsizlik choralari talab qilinmaydi. Xayriya mablag'lari qabul qilinadi.

There is also a decent pub/bar, with a good selection of Western wines including French and Italian vintages.

Under the new management the place is still run fairly efficiently by mainly Nepalese staff, with clean, frequently changed table-cloths but the food not good.

The owner runs 2 day cooking courses from the restaurant, but they are not participatory. The cooking courses are similar to watching a cooking show, leaving one to write down the recipes as there are no reference materials provided.

- Moon•Peak espresso, Temple Rd (10 min walk from McLeodganj's main square of chowk). 7AM-8PM.

There are also 2 smaller towns within walking distance, Bhagsu va Dharmakot. They are quieter than McLeod, whose main streets (esp. Bhagsu Rd) suffer from the usual Indian curse of lots of beeping cars/bikes/rickshaws pushing through the streets, and have a wide array of cool places to stay and courses to do.
