I have been in Mc Leod Ganj for 5 days since Tuesday. On Thuursday, I visited the various popular sights ; Norbulingka, Tibet Museum and Kalachakra temple. Other than these 3 places, hiking is a popular activity but I haven't done any due to daily monsoon rains here. So having run out things to do yesterday evening I boughy a bus ticket to New Delhi. I will be leaving this eveninng at 6.30pm.
Over the past 2 nights, there were two large groups (about 12 persons per group) eating dinner at the guest house. One group is from Singapore and the seccond from Taiwan. I was wondering what they were doing here. I thought it was unusual to see such large groups from overseas coming during the monsoon season. This morning, when I was having breakfast, someone was briefing the Taiwan group about their meeting with the Dalai Lama tomorrow. It was then I realised the D.L would be in Dharamsala for teaching sessions/lectures from 3 to 5 September a the invitation of the Singapore Tibetan Buddhist Society. If I had known earlier I would have stayed here until 4 Sept. It is too late now as all the hotels here have been fully booked and I have also booked my flights to Orissa, my next destination.
