Transportation:
It you are flying to Dharamsala from Delhi, it is only 30-40 minutes to Gyuto monastery from the Gagal airport which is below Dharamsala. If you are taking a taxi it may cost you 500 rupees per taxi. If you are taking overnight bus from New Delhi you should get off in lower Dharamsala and take a taxi to Gyuto monastery. Ask the taxi to (Gyuto monastery at Sidbhari or known as Karmapa monastery) It may cost you 400-500 rupees becasuse it is early morning rate. However, if you are traveling alone, we strongly recomend you to call Gyuto monastery and arrange a transportation becasue Delhi bus will arrive Dharamsala around 5 am and it is too risky to travel alone especially if you are female.
If you are one of the Gyuto members or Gyuto friends from US, Australia and Taiwan we recommend you to contact our Dharma Centers names listed on this website, and ask necessary information before you travel to Dharamsala.
