Dharamshala, which nestles in the foothills of the sub-Himalayan Dhauladhar mountain range, is a popular tourist destination that is also the winter capital of Himachal Pradesh and the seat of the Tibetan government in exile headed by His Highness the Dalai Lama. Just 57-km from Vayu Kutir (1hr 30min dirve) , a day trip to Dharamshala from Vayu Kutir is a good alternative to an overnight stay at the crowded and expensive hill station.
