Mcleod Ganj, Dharamsala, India is better known as Little Lhasa since the Dalai Lama and thousands of Tibetan refugees now call it home. Perched on the side of the Himalayas the small town offers a plethora of activities and entertainment. But perhaps the most enriching experience is volunteering to teach English, care for animals or visit the sick and elderly. There are many opportunities to volunteer - a good place to start is to visit the Tibet Charity website.
