Afternoon Stroll

Open air booths covered with tarps line the streets of McleodGanj. Tibetans, and Indians, do business here, outdoors, year round.

In this photo, a monk and a Tibetan elder stopped at a stall along Temple Road to examine scrolls bearing inspirational quotes by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.

Viewers are strongly encouraged to comment and leave questions!

If you came to McleodGanj, what items would you want to purchase as mementos of your visit?

  1. I am still sorry I did not buy one of the Free Tibet knitted hats! Many vendors do not have a license and are regularly closed down.That is a pity since they have no alternative way to make a living. I hope that can change soon.
