Talhan Holidays from AU$2,618

Stayed at this hotel on Temple Road, McLeod Ganj in January end 2026 and honestly had a very nice experience. Food was really good. The balcony view was amazing — you can see Dharamshala and snow-covered mountains, which felt super peaceful. The place is calm and quiet but still very close to the main square and Dalai Lama Temple, so location is perfect. Mrs Sonia at the reception was very welcoming and kind, made us feel comfortable right from the start. Overall, a simple, peaceful stay with great views and good food.

The room was very clean and the staff were incredibly helpful, including helping me book cabs as a female traveler and to help suggest places for me to visit during my stay. My only piece of constructive feedback was the breakfast, because they didn't have a hot breakfast buffet during my stay due to low occupancy. I understand that they need to be economical about food and certainly don't want to waste it, but then I think that should be communicated to travelers when booking or some kind of discount or voucher should be offered, since we are still paying the full price but not having the amenity that a 5-star hotel should come with.

We enjoyed our stay.The staff is very nice,food is outstanding and the surroundings are beautiful.A feeling of being immersed in Nature. Even the one km walk in the forest ,from the car parking to the hotel would be enjoyable for nature lovers. Planning to return in Spring.
