Mcleodganj and Palimpur Area

CCS staff and Dharamsala volunteers at Palimpur in a totally serious activity. The Palimpur home base is at Green Acres Resort.

Behind the resort some of the wheat has been harvested. Some is yet to be cut and winnowed.

Shiva's temple about 17 km from Palimpur was built in the 8th century. The carvings are amazing.



At a temple that was built later and is nearer Dharamsala, monkeys were hanging out and having a party with temple visitors who came to worship.


The temple has a pool with little paddle boats. I'm not sure of the boats' significance, but they looked like fun.


Mcleodganj near taxi stand.



The main juncture from the restaurant where I had poached eggs and rice. Yum......



A couple of monks coming up Temple Road from the temple. The Dali Lama arrived Saturday and will be around for a week. Jera saw him as he went though Dharamsala.
