In the 8th century, however, these monasteries are believed to have declined, with Hinduism experiencing a revival.
Most of these exiles live in Upper Dharamsala, where they established temples and schools.

Dharamsala and Mcleod Ganj now hare many religious, educational, and cultural institutions, built by and for the Tibetan people.
Today Mcleod Ganj, middle Dharamsala, and many other places in the Kangra valley are home to around 15000 Tibetans.
This is because with the Dalai Lama came thousands of Tibetan refugees too, who settled down in Mcleod Ganj and middle Dharamsala.

 Tibetan Community at Dharamsala, India
Credit for the success of the Tibetan community at Dharamsala and elsewhere indubitably goes to the democratic vision, foresight and leadership of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
The idea was to resettle the Tibetans in compact homogeneous communities where they would be able to preserve and perpetuate their culture and traditions, while at the same time enabling them to become self-sufficient in livelihoods.
Facing the destruction of their culture and religion (of the country's 6,259 monasteries, nunneries and temples, all but eight have been completely destroyed), they had a duty which far transcended the need merely to keep body and soul together: a duty to nurture a whole civilisation in exile.

He was responsible for transforming a half-forgotten hill station in India, a relic of the British Raj, into the seat of the Tibetan government in exile.
This is a mistake because, while it is true that the concentration of religious scholarship and devotion in Dharamsala has made it a holy place for some, it is probably just as true that a similar concentration of effort in a hotel in Las Vegas could have achieved similar results...
In a nutshell, then, it is a bad idea to go to Dharamsala looking for spiritual answers unless you have already asked yourself some fairly serious spiritual questions.
