After the 1959 Tibetan uprising, following in the footsteps of the 14th Dalai Lama more than 150,000 Tibetan refugees fled to India during the past 50 years. Eventually, a Tibetan camp came up across the road on the Yamuna riverbed for rehabilitation of Tibetans fleeing their country after the Chinese occupation.
Today, it is home to 2,500 residents and is called the Mini Tibet of India.
