Tibetan cultural tour with Thupten - Wonderful tour with Thupten. He is a very knowledgeable man and very passionate about Tibetan culture. He knows so much about history but also buddhism. I asked a lot of questions and he answers very patiently and precisely. He speaks very well english, so it was not too difficult for me to understand as a French woman not very fluent in english. Thank you for this very interesting tour !

An excellent tour by a very informative guide. - This was a very informative overview of the Tibetan situation in Nepal. Our guide was extremely thorough. We learned a lot, not only about the Tibetan refugee hisory, but about Tibetan Buddhism in general. Highly recommended. We had not been planning on doing this tour (in fact... hadn't even heard of it) but with some extra time in Pakhora we gave it a try and it was definitely one of the real highlights of our visit.

Passionate Thupten who sincerely wants to educate everyone about Tibetan Culture - Thupten passion oozes out on this tour, and he made me yearn to visit Tibet. I wished I had more time to spend with him as he had so many details about Buddhism and Tibetan culture and way of life. We stepped into a Tibetan home in the refugee camp, experienced the morning prayers at the monastery and even had 30 mins to chat with a monk and learn about his spiritual journey -- what a treat! I loved the monk's response when i asked him what he enjoyed the most at the monastery: spending time with the younger monks (those under 10yo) to share a laugh over simple nothingness. ཐུགས་རྗེ་ཆེ my friend!

An Incredible Insight into the World of Tibet - Such an enriching rewarding experience. Thutkpen is literally a walking encyclopedia of the history and culture of the Tibetan people. His passion for his people, natural beauty and struggles shines through in his amazing stories and knowledge. He also gave me such an insight into Buddhism and the teachings which was so appreciated and fascinating. I was totally enthralled. I had trekked through many remote Tibetan villages and this gave me such an informed understanding of the way of life and traditions. This has been an absolute highlight of my time in Pokhara. Highly recommend. I learnt so so much wanting to research so much more about this fascinating kingdom, the people the Dalai Lama his journey and and and! My guide and mentor was the BEST teacher EVER! Gold gold stars! This is a MUST.

Toole Tour with interesting insight into Tibetan culture - Very great tour, Thupten is a very committed tour guide, explains a lot and answers every question. Exciting information and insights into Tibetan culture at every corner. It's just a shame that we didn't do the 1-day tour ;-) Keep it up! (sorry just in German, I hope tripadvisor is translating)

highly recommend to those who want to get to know Nepal on a bit of a deeper level! - i felt this cultural tour was a really good way to get to know about Tibetan culture. Thupten is such a knowledgeable and friendly guide, and i’m not sure there’s any question he can’t answer! I visited around dashain so a few things were unavailable (my bad lol) but it was still so worth it. i’m an absolute history nerd so i really enjoyed learning so much about the occupation of Tibet and their history in Nepal, the museum we visited was a really eye-opening experience. They were even able to open the restaurant on the holiday for us specifically, and the food was incredible! Seriously worth booking just to try Tibetan momo. The monastery we visited was beautiful and i really enjoyed learning about buddhism, Thupten explained everything in a way that was very easy to understand. Overall I’d really reccomend this experience and this company in general!
