Monkeys around Dharamsala

The countryside around Dharamsala is home to a great many rhesus macaque monkeys. They seem a lot more chilled out than macaques I've seen in the rest of India - which I tended to think of as quite aggressive. I don't know whether that's down to the mountain air, an abundance of food, or just a difference between subspecies. Either way, exercising a little caution, I've managed to get relatively close - mostly to monkeys scavenging through rubbish - and take a fair few pics. Enjoy.

You can find stock images of Monkeys around Dharamsala here, and read about my adventures in and around Dharamsala here.

Beautiful!
How long were you in Dharamsala? Is it easy to travel there? I love the Himalaya and just returned from Bhutan: http://www.pbase.com/mraeder/bhutan
