Description

Bylakuppe is the largest Tibetan refugee settlement in the world. In the 1960s, the Indian government granted asylum to the Dalai Lama, and land was set aside for the waves of Tibetan refugees, hot on the heels of their spiritual leader. The settlement has since transformed the once desolate Karnataka countryside into a replica of Lhasa.
