Chonor House, a branch of Norbulingka, is the best place
to stay in Mcleod Ganj, conveniently located near the Thekchen Chöling
Temple adjacent to HH the Dalai Lama’s residence. Each of our eleven
well-appointed rooms is beautifully decorated according to a unique
Tibetan theme. Set amidst tall cedars, Chonor House is peacefully
removed from the hustle and bustle of the town.
Chonor House was designed and built by British architect David Porter in
a style intended to blend with the natural environment of the hills
overlooking the Kangra valley. Excavation of the site, which began in
November 1988, was a revelation. We uncovered the foundations of a large
house and objects which had belonged to its occupants. The late Mr
Nowrojee, one of Mcleod Ganj’s oldest residents, told us that a
courthouse had stood on the Chonor House site.
The building and interior decoration, which involved the work of three
different groups of Tibetan painters, and because we wanted all the work
to be of the highest quality and integrity we were prepared to be
patient in achieving it. Chonor House opened in March 1993.
