The exiled Tibetan government and His Holiness The Dalai Lama reside in McLeod Ganl. In the foothills of the Himalayas above Dharahmashala, they share this hilltop village, with the local peoples, tourists, tourist shops, restaurants, yoga studios, cows, hippies and a special group of young anglo men coiffing their hair into man buns.
