This is the largest Tibetan temple outside Tibet, and it has a large meditation hall containing some beautiful statues and thangkas, as well as a Kalachakra temple with beautiful murals. It is the monastery of the Dalai Lama, and is just in front of his residence. It also contains the largest Tibetan prayer wheel of about 2 m height—spin it!

Small but interesting museum on the history of Tibet and its people.
TIPA
Stage performances of traditional Tibetan dance, music, and theatre. The shows are not only infrequently performed.

Near the Tibetan government in exile, with a small but interesting museum.
It's a nice picturesque cathedral in the middle of greenery. 1 km from McLeod Ganj. Auto-rickshaw costs ₹70 as of May 2019. There is no auto stand near the cathedral, so it's a bit tough to get an auto back. If possible, ask the auto driver to wait and then take the same auto to other spots.
Fairly well signposted. An anticlimactic sacred pond is the colour and texture of its yellow lentil namesake.
