SBIOA GUEST HOUSE AT DHARAMSHALA ANOTHER HOME FOR OUR MEMBERS

Dharamshala, the second winter capital of the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh is a beautiful hill station, which is bathed in the glory of Mother Nature and Buddhist culture. The great Tibetan leader, the Dalai Lama lives here and thousands of ardent travellers visit this hill station every day to enjoy its magnificent beauty. This calm and serene hill station is situated at an average altitude of 1,475 meters above sea level and is surrounded by thick deodar cedar trees, snow-laden mountains, exotic culture, and quaint old monasteries. Dharamshala is divided into two parts, upper Dharamshala and lower Dharamshala and both these regions have scenic landscapes, bungalows, churches, monasteries, and cantonment that are surrounded by the mighty Dhauladhar Mountains.

We are extremely happy to inform that our beloved association, SBIOA Chandigarh Circle has started a Guest House in the lap of nature amid lush green deodar forest at Dharamshala for the benefit of our members.
