When we return to Dharamshala after Kareri lake Trek. We were in search of some pocket friendly hotels but we couldn't find any. So we decided to go to Mc'Leodganj. Mc'Leodganj is the nearest town from Dharamshala. It is about 6-7 km from Dharamshala and easily accessible by public transport.

We Reached the Mc'Leodganj around 8 pm . The place was fully filled with the tourists. But we somehow managed to find a Hotel for us. The room was small and little fancy. As we were so tired , so we fell asleep just after having a good dinner in the main market.
