Masrur

Masrur, located 40km southwest of Dharamsala, has 15 carved rock-cut Hindu temples, like the ones in Ellora, dating from the 9th and 10th centuries. There is a cave temple with a stalagmite dedicated to Lord Siva and temples dedicated to Sita and Rama. Many of the sculptures are badly weathered and some have been removed and placed in museums. The location of the cave is beautiful. By taxi from McLeod Ganj to here is around Rs 650. You can take a bus to Pin Bindu and then walk a hard 3km to the cave. There are some good views on the way
