A very peaceful place to come visit if you are in the area. You can spend a day wondering around, meditating during their morning guided meditation sessions and enjoy books on Buddhism and Tibetan history and culture in their library that’s open for anyone. You can even rent books to take with you for a few days if you are staying there for a while. Very friendly staff and volunteers who are there for you to help. They have Introduction to Buddhism silent retreat that last for 10 days. An incredible place for a thing like that. I’ve stayed there for that course in July, 2018 during monsoon season and watching those clouds rolling up and down those mountains was meditative on its own! The accommodation isn’t ideal and the group I was a part of was very large (111 people) plus additional course of about 20 people who where taking an intermediate course. But overall it’s a very nice place! Good food! I wish they were selling their peanut butter too, it’s sooo good! The only this is it’s getting not as secluded anymore which is out of their control, due to the popularity of the area and a very high volume of tourists coming. Many bars are opening and I could hear the music in the evenings (during the course you go to bed around 9-10pm with 5am wake up). So I guess that’s different from about 10 years back time. But if you have ear plugs you can solve that problem easily!

Tushita is a meditation center based on Tibetan Buddhism tradition. I did my first introduction course on October 2017 and my second intermediate course on July 2018. I will definitely recommend it, specially if your searching to learn about Buddhism and start with your meditation practice. The place is beautiful and peaceful is a perfect environment to connect with your inner self. Also if you register in advance you will have the chance to choose your room, if you are one of the last to register probably you will take the last rooms. The only down side for me is that during moonzon season some rooms could be a bit moldy, beside of that everything is great! Food is amazing! And peanut butter is just delicious Staff is helpful and kind :)

Great place to practice meditation and explore Tibetan Buddhism. Course contents are good. You can hike up to this place from McLeodganj, however being hilly area roads are very steep. Taxi might charge you around Rs. 500 for this trip.. Daily Meals for residential courses include bread which becomes heavy and indigestible for everyone. Dorms become overfull of capacity and it feels suffocated inside(expect very basic facilities at the premises) If you can adjust with these things, you can spend good time meditating in silence. (Eat light...feel light.. reflect.. meditate) Loved the library, Gompa, stupas, local staff and silent walk in woods. The light ceremony on the last day of the Residential course is a beautiful experience!!!

Attending a 10-day retreat at Tushita Meditation Centre was truly life-changing. The teachings and introduction to Buddhism were illuminating. The teachers and staff emanated such love, compassion and kindness that it created a peaceful haven for self-reflection. The beautiful forest surroundings, with stunning morning views of the misty hills, added to the serene atmosphere. I emerged with a profound sense of inner peace, mindfulness and spiritual connection that I continue to carry with me. It was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life.

Best place for medidation in whole Dharamshala. Situated at Dharamkot, Tushitas Meditation centre is one of the most beautiful place in Dharamshala. Admist the rhododendron flowers, trees, monkeys and birds, you feel more connected to the nature and internal peace is accomplished by just spending 30 mins there. They also organise meditation course for 10 days where you get to know about Buddhism and its teachings. I would highly recommend you to visit there and experience the pure vibes on your own. Tashi delek🙏 Namaste🙏

The most beautiful way to cut off for ten days, from the fabricated world of social media, peer pressure and herd mentality (amongst others). The introduction course offers a deep insight into the concepts of life, such as love and attachment, life and death, conditioned existence, emptiness, reality and delusions, etc. The mediation sessions alongside the philosophy add the much needed meaning and connection with self and compassion and empathy for the universe. Would go back to this again if chance ever permits me.
