St John of the wilderness is the oldest cathedral in North India. Built in 1853 it is known for its unique gothic style. The church grounds ar filled with coniferous trees and the whole atmosphere is still and calm. Also buried here is Lord Elgen, some Brit bigshot celeb of the 1800s.
Conifers!
St. John of the wildernessTibetian Childrens Village - is a school. We were just in time for their annual day celebrations. It was a great experience. When you enter the complex you feel like you are in the Collosuem. The accompanying music was great too!
From here we trekked to Naddi - supposedly the highest point of Dharamsala. On our way back we went through quaint villages.
And finally we visited the most famous landmark at Dharamsala - The Buddist Monastery and the home of the Dalai Lama.
The throne of the Dalai Lama. Pity he wasnt there!

The prayer wheels. Each wheel is filled with some prayers and everytime you roll the wheels, the person is granted the prayers in it. Wierd ... I turned the wheels without knowing whats inside! Just hope it was meant for some good.
The throne of the Dalai Lama. Pity he wasnt there!
