Namgyal Monatery which is the personal monastery of 14th Dalai Lama, is nice spot if you wanna relax and meditate a while. I clicked a cool candid picture of a monk. When i arrived i saw it surrounded by monkeys who were really enjoying themselves. Nice place to visit.

Right next to the Kalchakra temple is this monastery as well. Similar to the temple the idols and statues were really beautiful. They even had the Prayer wheels outside. A nice peaceful experience again. You don't need a ticket for this.

I had visited during morning time. Namgyal Monastery also called Dalailama Temple. Apart from monastery there are Institute, admistration office and residence of Dalai lama, library. This place is very tranquility and peaceful.  There is no entry fees. This temple is just one minute walking distance from Dharamsala skyway/ropeway.
