“What struck me about The Panda in Dharamshala is its clever balance of accessibility and peaceful retreat. The property seems to offer clean, well-maintained rooms with views of the Kangra valley, plus thoughtful touches like reliable hot water. It's the sort of place where you can feel genuinely hosted, with the added charm of some very cute pets.”
