About Little Lhasa

Lhasa was the capital of Tibet before the Chinese occupied during 1949-50. China claims that Tibet is a part of China and not a different country. The head of Tibet is His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama. After his exile from Tibet, he has made India as the new homeland and rules the Tibetians from McLeod Ganj, which is called Little Lhasa. McLeod Ganj is 13kms from Dharamsala and it has the monastery and palace of His Holiness.
