Transportation Tips
- Dharamsala is divided into several distinct areas that are separated by a 15 min or 12 km bus or jeep ride at most:
- – Consists of most of the government offices, Schools, the local hospital, and commercial areas.
- – Known less commonly as Upper Dharamsala is named after David McLeod, who was once the British Lieutenant-Governor of Punjab, and the word Ganj, which is a common Persian word meaning "neighbourhood".
- – Sometimes also called Little Tel Aviv, it is 2 km northeast of McLeod and has become a highly commercialised hotspot for many backpackers from Israel—Hewbrew is a common sight here.
