This room is named after Ahley Dara which is a hillock just above our hotel. ‘Dara’ means a small hill and ‘Ahley’ means a water body where animals take a dip. The place is within walking distance, suitable for a family walk in the evenings and mornings. Along the Ahley Dara there is a Tibetan settlement established by the Govt. of India during the reign of Smt. Indira Gandhi.
The Ahley Dara has carpet weaving centres & showrooms of hand woven carpets and other handicrafts run by Tibetan co-operatives. It also houses a regional office for the Tibetan Govt. in exile.
