Winter Break 2025 – 2026

December 1, 2025 – February 15, 2026

Tushita is always closed in December and January! It gets very cold here at that time and we don’t have any central heating. Tushita does not run any courses or drop-in sessions during this time.

Our library will have limited opening hours during first half of December.
From mid December our library will be also closed!

In general, December and especially January are not such good months to come to McLeod Ganj. Most guest houses do not have heating and with the snow come the power cuts! Many places have their winter break (the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives still holds classes in December, but not in January) and most of the guest houses and restaurants will be closed.

Most Westerners (and many Tibetans) escape the winter here and go to warmer places, where there are also more Dharma activities (especially in Bodhgaya!). This is the main season for Root Institute, our sister center in Bodhgaya.

For updates, please keep an eye here on our website and on social media: Facebook & Instagram.

For general questions, please refer to our very extensive and detailed website, especially the FAQ.

If you are eager to study during our winter break, please use our many free resources. The video recordings of our many online courses are freely available on the Online Courses page, on our Resources page and on our Youtube Channel.

Tushita will start programs again on February 16, 2026!

We wish you a very happy New Year and hope to see you in person or online in 2026!
