It takes about 15-20 minutes to walk from McLeod Ganj to Tushita, up a very steep hill. At the Main Square in McLeod Ganj there is a Hotel called "Asian Plaza". To the left hand side of this building, there is a path that leads up past a few jewellery/thangka shops, and an imported foods shop called "Osho". Just around the corner is the "Common Ground" cafe.

This is the same path that you climb to get all the way to Tushita, so just keep following it up, up, up and expect to meet many monkeys on the way! After 10-15 minutes you'll see the "Regional Mountaineering Institute" building. At this point you're about 3/4 of the way there, just keep following the same path.

Around the corner from the Mountaineering Institute you'll see a small white stupa and the Tushita signboard.

Come through the gate and keep climbing up the steps for another 5 minutes, passing by a few small cottage-style buildings on the way (Monks and Nuns live there in retreat, please don't go in!). When you run out of stairs, you are there!

Of course, the easiest way is to take a taxi or rickshaw!

You can pick them up easily just below the Main Square. A taxi will cost 80 rupees, and a rickshaw will cost 60 rupees. It takes about 10 minutes. You can also walk to Dharamkot/Tushita on this road. It takes longer to walk, and is sometimes busy with traffic, but is at a much gentler incline.
