McLeod Ganj is in Himachal Pradesh in the mountains. Not just any mountains but the Himalayas, the youngest and thus the tallest of the world’s mountain ranges. The Himalayan mountains around the Kangra district are part of the Dhauladhar range. The tallest of these is just over 5600 meters. These peaks are part of the spectacular scenery around this region.
