Mcloedgunj again

Had visited this beautiful place in Oct-2006 and again
in Oct-2009 now. A short summary :

1. Stayed at Hotel Tibet(Rs. 770/- per day including Service tax)

In general Mcloedgunj and nearby areas have a vast array of
options for accommodation. You can get much cheaper/pricier rates
for hotels. Apart from this you can get rooms on yearly/monthly
basis as well, as a lot of people seem to stay here for long durations.

2. Hill Book Shop :

Very close to Hotel Tibet on the Bhagshu Road.
Here you can buy/sell second hand books. At times
you get the books very cheap.

3. For rock climbing/river crossing etc.

Regional Mountaineering Center on Tushita Road(+91-9418025191)

4. If you are trekking to the Triund, and want to stay at
the guest house there, you need to take permission from
the forest department(which is either in Dharmshala or Mcloedgunj, just enquire).

5. For people with religious interests,
Jwala Devi Temple : roughly 65 km from Mcloedgunj
Brajeshwari Devi Temple in Kangra : 27km from Mcloedgunj
(both lie on the same route).

6. Cheap(inexpensive) woolen clothes :
Delhi Departmental Store in Dharmshala main market.

7. There is a Himachal Tourism Club House(perhaps on Jogiwara road, or
you can enquire in main marked Mcloedgunj), where you can play Table
Tennis/Snooker etc.

8. A very small trek :
go to BhagshuNag waterfall.
