PemaThang Guest House & Restaurant

PemaThang Guest House & Restaurant Postings to help you better plan your holidays or pilgrimage.with our Guesthouse hospitality services in Dharamsala, India, seat of HH the Dalai Lama.

When PemaThang Guesthouse opened some twenty years ago it was the only Tibetan hotel on the hill overlooking the Dalai Lama's temple and the Kangra valley. PemaThang's Secret? The magic of smile and simplicity! The guesthouse is centrally located in McLeod Ganj in a quiet green area. It is for many guests a home away from home. For those travellers and pilgrims who value the real Dharamsala experience more than the fancy luxuries of other hotels, Pemathang offers basic clean hotel facilities and the unique opportunity to experience the humble smiles of genuine Tibetan hospitality of the friendly staffs. The view overlooking the Kangra valley from most of the rooms is breath taking. From the room balconies one can daily hear the chanting of the monks in the Dalai Lama's temple close by. When the resident monk is not travelling PemaThang guesthouse offers free yoga classes. PemaThang also has a Tibetan massage spa, a meditation hall for religious groups, a library, a vegetarian restaurant and a travel desk to assist guests with their local or international travel. PemaThang is an initiative of Namgyal Lhamo and Chukie Tethong. These two sisters were the first Tibetans in exile to start a restaurant outside India, when in 1981 they took over a vegetarian health food restaurant in the Netherlands. Ten years later they founded PemaThang Restaurant du Tibet, at that time the second Tibetan restaurant in Paris. In the late nineties they began PemaThang Guesthouse and restaurant in McLeod Ganj, Dharamsala. PemaThang, restaurant du Tibet is run by their family members, while Namgyal Lhamo looks after the Dutch restaurant. Chukie Tethong supervises the management of PemaThang Guesthouse and restaurant in Dharamsala. Both sisters had their education in the Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts in Dharamsala. There they studied for many years under the great masters of Tibetan music and opera. When in the nineties they were asked for their singing talents to play a role in Jean Jacques Arnaud’s ‘Seven Years in Tibet’, they both picked up again their individual singing careers. Today they give concerts in many countries and they have launched a number of CDs. Both sisters also acted in a number of documentary and fiction movies on Tibet. PemaThang features regularly life concerts of Chukie Tethong and other musicians.

My master the Most Venerable Geshe Yeshe Topden - a highly enlightened scholar and a famous meditation practioner of our age, who is popularly known as Geshe Drubthop la - lived the last years of his life in PemaThang. After he passed away I learned yoga from the great Swami Ram Dev, the pioneer of Yoga practices in India. And when I am not in my master’s Buddhist Centre in Italy I like to give free yoga lessons in the PemaThang Yoga Hall.
