The ‘Tel Aviv of the hills’, this quaint hamlet in Himachal Pradesh is a well-kept secret As the winter fog descends on the north Indian plains, it’s time for a quick getaway to the hills. McLeodganj, a suburb of Dharamshala in Himachal’s Kangra district, always tops the list of winter destinations in the country. But this time giving McLeo a miss might not be a bad idea. Let the explorer in you climb a little higher to reach Dharamkot. Popularly known as mini Israel or the ‘Tel Aviv of the hills’, it is the only village in Himachal Pradesh with a Jewish community centre—the Chabad house. Have you ever heard of being somewhere when you are not even supposed to be there? Dharamkot is the perfect example. Located 12 km from McLeodganj, this village redefines slow travel. Nestled amid tall deodars, the tiny hamlet welcomes you with quaint cafes, shops selling gems and semi-precious stones, vipassana sessions, musical bowl healing and more. It feels as if people from all over come here
