Tibetan Handicraft Center

Mcleod Ganj


This women's cooperative employs refugees for the hand weaving of Tibetan wool carpets, a process that you're welcome to watch in action.

There's also a more general gift shop selling souvenirs, quality thangkas and resonant bronze meditation gong-bowls. A tailoring section across the road can make you a Tibetan costume in around five days from ₹1000/2500 cotton/silk. Plastic is accepted and international shipping can be arranged.
