Mcleod Ganj is not only the home of HH Dalai Lama and centre of Tibetan refugees in India, it boasts a wide-ranging “alternative” scene. The Buddhist philosophy classes run by the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives are hugely popular and they also offer Tibetan language classes.
Fancy becoming a Reiki Master? How about a yoga teacher? Both are possible. Why not check out your tarot cards? Ma Ambar was trained by Osho Sannyasin and for only Rp600 you will be given half an hour. Not scientific enough? Check out your Tibetan astrological readings at the Tibetan Institute of Medicine and Astrology. Simply give them your time, place and date of birth and they will do the rest, including details about your previous reincarnations. Definitely worth US$60.
Fancy a place to meditate? Plenty of places around town will help you out. Not enough? Check out the Tashita meditation centre for a meditation retreat. A variety of different massage courses are available including Indian Thai and Tibetan. Several places offer cooking courses - Tibetan, Indian and Thai cuisine can be found. Woodcarving and Jewelery Making are also readily available. For those with a musical bent, who want to hone in on their tabla, sitar and/or harmonium skills ...yes, classes are available too.
