St. John in the Wilderness church among deodars

St. John in the Wilderness

A 19th-century stone church set among tall deodar cedars, with Belgian stained-glass windows.

Built in 1852, this neo-Gothic church stands in a quiet deodar forest on the road to McLeod Ganj. Its stained-glass windows and peaceful churchyard make it a lovely short stop.
