Local customsTravel note
Walk clockwise around the temple
Tsuglagkhang complex, McLeod Ganj, Himachal Pradesh
Published Oct 10, 2026 · RegretMap travel note
The situation
Around Tibetan Buddhist temples and stupas, people walk the circuit clockwise. Going the other way doesn't get you shouted at, but you'll be swimming against everyone, prayer wheels included.
The lesson
Follow the flow of the kora and keep to the left of shrines.
Advice for future travellers
Look for signs about photography inside the main temple before taking out your phone.
