McLeodganj, and who comes
McLeodganj is home to the Dalai Lama's temple and the Tibetan community, and the start of the walks to Bhagsu, Dharamkot and Triund. Its lanes are full of cafés, small guesthouses and hostels.
Who comes: Backpackers, foreign travellers, students of Buddhism and yoga, trekkers, and families on a Dharamshala trip.
How they get here: By bus or taxi up from Dharamshala, which is reached by air at Gaggal or by overnight bus from Delhi.
The season: March to June and September to December; the Dalai Lama's public teachings draw visitors from around the world when they are held.
What a homestay website in McLeodganj has to do
Many McLeodganj guests are foreign travellers and long-stayers who read a site carefully and ask about hot water, Wi-Fi and the stairs from the road. A site in their language, with a weekly rate and an honest description of the walk up, does better than a listing that says none of it.
What StayCraft gives homestays
- They message you, not a form. A WhatsApp button on every page, so an enquiry arrives where you already answer.
- Nobody asks for a night you have sold. Block the dates you are full and guests only ask for what is open.
- Found without paying for it. Your own pages on Google, plus a listing in the StayCraft directory.
Everything a homestay gets, plan by plan, is on the Homestays & hotels feature page.
