Tushita is always closed in December and January, since it gets very cold here at that time.

In general, December and especially January are not such good months to come to McLeod Ganj. It can get very cold here, most guest houses do not have heating and with the snow come the power cuts!

Many places have their winter break (the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives still holds classes in December, but not in January) and most of the guest houses and restaurants will be closed.

Our Library keeps limited opening hours during winter. It will be closed completely between December 20^th – January 19^th, but before and after these dates it will be open

Monday - Saturday
9:30 – 11:30 and 12:30 – 4pm

Most Westerners (and many Tibetans) escape the winter here and go to warmer places, where there are also more Dharma activities (especially in Bodhgaya!). This is the main season for Root Institute, our sister center in Bodhgaya www.rootinstitute.com.

See you again in February!
