Excellent! Wish I did the full day tour! - Incredible afternoon Learning about Tibetan culture from Thupten, a Tibetan refugee himself. Thupten was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable… I got so much out of the tour. I could have listened to him for days. One of the best things I did in Pokhara - can’t recommend highly enough.

Highly recommended - This was such an enjoyable afternoon. In just 4 hours we covered a lot of really meaningful experiences. Speaking with a monk of 25 years experience in a small group of 3 was really insightful, Thupten was so knowledgeable and passionate about the Tibetan culture and history. I would totally recommend this tour for the legacy it will leave you with.

Do not miss this experience - If ypu don't do anything else in Pokhara this tour is a must do. Thupten was a great guide, passionate and knowledgeable- we learnt from him first hand about Tibetans in Nepal and their journey to get here. We spoke with a Monk about his life's story and that is completely different to what we believe in the western world. We were able to sit in on a prayer ceremony and indulge in some Tibetan butter tea- which is nicer than it sounds. My only regret is we didn't do the full day tour. Thank you Thupten we take our experiences home with a grateful heart 🙏

Tibetan Encounter Afternoon Tour - Me and my friend read about Tibetan Encounters in a travel guide and were delighted to join a tour. Tashi was an excellent guide who gave us an amazing insight regarding Tibetan History and Culture as well as Buddhism. We visited a monastery, had a lovely conversation with a monk and drank tea at a tibetan house. We totally recommend joining a tour while in Pokhara.

Excellent - We did the afternoon tour with Thupten. It was a wonderful experience that we enjoyed very much. Thupten is an excellent guide and an marvellous person. We learned a lot about both Tibetan people and buddhism, with also many different perspectives. If we are lucky to return someday to Pokhara we would love to join again another time with Thupten. We highly recommend this experience.

Great experience Tibetan lifestyle - Great experience into a tibetian life. We can meet a monk and find out about their life, routine, how they started the journey. We can visit installations, libraries, join a snack time, and view a cerimony with them. After visit monastery, we could know a small Tibetan village, and visit a home and taste Tibet food. We strong recommend this experience. The guide Thupten Gyatso is very organized and helpful. He explain about the history of places and people.
