A great day trip in Pokhara - I went on the tour after chatting with Maddie and Mark on a trek. It was wonderful. I saw all the sites mentioned and learnt alot about Tibet and its people. A lot of information was given. It was a great day out full of wonderful memories.

Tibetan culture tour - Really enjoyed our morning tour with Thupten . Picked up from hotel 5.30 am went to Tibetan monastery first and observed morning prayers, then breakfast with family in the settlement. Butter tea and roasted barley flour- like a porridge. Learnt about the harsh conditions of living in Tibet and how the refugees had to adapt in 1959 and since then. Then on to another settlement to see carpet making and met and talked to Tibetan medicine doctor in the clinic. Fascinating. Lunch was Momos and returned to hotel 2 pm. We learnt so much about the different forms of Buddhism and life for Tibetan refugees, thoroughly recommend the tour if you have time in Pokhara

Great storytelling....captivated all the way through! - What an incredible day learning! Thupten is the most incredible storyteller. He weaves in so many great nuggets of information throughout the day, and really keeps you engaged throughout. His passion and love for what he does and his community truly comes through. I am grateful for the time I spent with him, learning from him and what he shares on behalf of the Tibetan refugees. I highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic tour - This was a fantastic experience and I learned so much. It is not a sight seeing your but so much more. If you’re looking for a deeper understanding of the history and present of the Tibetan people in Nepal I can’t recommend this tour enough. This is exactly the type of tour I hope to have when traveling- a tour that I learn, hear new view points, and be challenged to critically think. Thupten is a true professional, passionate, and has a wealth of knowledge. I loved the experience and trying different Tibetan foods. My partner was sick the day that I did the the tour but I encouraged him to do it the next day because I didn’t want him to miss out on the experience-book it!

I learned so much. - I did the morning tour (05:30-13:30) and enjoyed this immensely. Really varied itinerary, giving you insights you wouldn't get by yourself. The monasteries, settlements, doctor - all unique experiences. Best of all is Thubten's presentation. I thought I knew a fair bit about Tibet, but learned so much.

Fascinating and educating tour in Tibetan refugee villages - The tour is interesting and professional. It gives you a deeper understanding of the Tibetan culture (food, medication and art), Tibetan Buddhism and Tibetan history. I highly recommend taking the morning tour so you’ll be able to join the morning prayer at a Tibetan monastery.

Excellent - I loved my turn with Tashi Delek. He is very generous in his explanations and I learned a lot. The typical Nepalese lunch was very good. I highly recommend if you want to learn more about the history of Nepal and Buddhism.
