McLeod Ganj, Dharmsala

Here's some images of McLeod Ganj in Dharmsala (the seat of the Tibbetan government in exile).

There's lots of tourists, and our stay coincided with a month-long Indian holiday. The streets are filled with motorcycle posses, taxis, pedestrians. Everyone who drives honks--all the time. You can't let the honking get to you, or you'd go insane as it just doesn't let up. I have an audio file of the honking while we were eating (which I'll upload when and if I can figure it out).
