And in the morning I reached to the last stop, and didn't knew what to do, and I did not even wanted to check-in instead I chose the option to explore some place. After talking to one local she suggested me to visit 'Gyuto tantrik' monastery which is 9-10 KMS away from main bus stand!
You can take a bus going towards Palampur and ask to drop you infront of the monastery!

Can you spot the monk?

As soon as I entered, there is residency and Institute and then the temple. Morning was very calm and one can hear prayers!
Toilets are good enough to get freshen up.
After getting freshen up I headed to the temple and sat there for meditation; after travel that was one thing I needed.

Entry to the temple! Take permissions before you do anything. And maintain the vibe. Follow instructions!

Even if you are visiting be sure that it's their home and Institute!
