Little Tibet in Nepal. - It was really informative and exciting at the same time to spend the day in a tibaten village, a monastry and to share time with a Buddhist monk. The tour was very well organized!

Best experience with the best guide - This was easily one of the BEST travel experiences I’ve ever had. It felt like such an eye-opener to get to know the plight of the Tibetan refugees and to learn their way of life. The tour was very well-curated and managed. I especially appreciate how closely the organizers coordinated with me. From the moment that I confirmed the tour, to the pick up time, until I was brought back to the hotel — every second felt very bespoke and mindfully executed. My guide, Thupten was an absolute joy to be around; so knowledgeable, articulate, and generous with his amazing insights. There was an aura of authentic care althroughout the experience. Will recommend this tour in a heartbeat and stake my name on it. 101/100.🙌

Very Informative Tour. Highly Recommend! - I highly recommend this tour. One of the best I have taken. Our tour guide Mr. Thupten was very knowledgeable and passionate. The tour was informative in religion, culture, history, and community. We also visited a Tibetan family and had some butter tea and Tibetan bread. I truly appreciate the experience.

Excellent and meaningful tour. Highly recommended. - Everything about this tour was perfect. From the arrangement of the pick-up location, the monastery that we visited, to the visit to the Tibetan family house was excellent. The chat with a monk with our group was so delightful, he shared about his life experience of being monkhood and answered our questions about Buddhism. Our guide Thupten Gyatso, who is a Tibetan and son of Tibetan refugee himself shared with us the plight of Tibetan refugees in Nepal and shared with us lots of insights about the day to day life of being a refugee in Nepal and about Buddhism in general. He was so knowledgeable and time passed really fast. We were so happy to be able to join this tour.

Fascinating Cultural Insight to Tibetan Heritage - My son took this tour and had an excellent experience. This is his review: The Tibetan people I interacted with were really nice and inviting. It was fascinating to learn about their traditions, culture, and history. There were four of us on the tour and people took time to really talk with us and show us around. We even were invited into their homes, where we were served very delicious butter tea and roasted barley flour. Through this tour, I gained a unique and educational perspective on the rich history of the Tibetan people. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in cultural experiences and gaining appreciation for the Tibetan people and their heritage.

I highly recommend going with thupten to discover Tibetian culture and history. Thank you - Thupten is an amazing guide. He explained everything very well from how to make a tea to dalaï lama’s teachings. We met a monk at a monastery and he explained very well about monks life and few other questions about budha”s teachings and meditation types. I highly recommend going with thupten to discover Tibetian culture and history. Thank you

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.
