Ganztägige tibetische Kulturreise zu tibetischen Siedlungen Pokhara

Absolutely incredible experience. One of my favourite things we did on our Nepal trip. The guide was incredible and the full day tour is well worth your time.

One of the most valuable experiences to understand the culture, the struggle, and the Buddhist community all In one day This is led by the owner a Tibetan person with deep insight into preserving his legacy.

This was a fascinating and very enjoyable day. Learned so much about Tibetan culture and history and the life of its refugee communities in Nepal. Thupten was an excellent guide - informed, interesting and kind. And he ensured we had the opportunity to meet and talk to individuals from the community, including a doctor of Tibetan medicine and a young monk. An unforgettable experience !

This is an informative tour and very enjoyable. My guide Mr. Thupten was very nice with a wealth of information. I learnt things I never knew. Everything I seen was enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour.

Thupten is nothing short of exceptional. Within 5 minutes of the tour I could sense his natural kindness and passion for informing others of Tibetan history. He was extremely generous and fluent in sharing his expansive knowledge on Tibetan life, The Dalai Lama and Buddhism. From seeing traditional Tibetan carpets being made to talking with a young monk, this experience was rich in culture, colour, and wisdom. I feel extremely fortunate that I got to spend this day with Thupten and the locals, I couldn’t recommend this tour enough!!

I genuinely think this is the best tour I have ever been on in my life. It was incredibly well thought out and offers an intimate look into the life of Tibetan people, both in their home and in lives away from Occupied Tibet. We got to experience so many wonderful things over the day, from watching a carpet beautifully made, to chatting to a young monk about his life. We learnt more about the Dalai Lama, Buddhism and the refugee crisis facing Tibetan people. We ate delicious food and learnt so much at the Tibetan way of life. Our guide Thupten is one of the most compassionate and wonderful people I’ve met. His passion is inspiring and he shows so much heart and love for his people and it showed on this tour. Thank you Thupten for sharing so much of your knowledge and experience, it was humbling and well received. I cannot recommend this tour enough and I know I will be thinking about this for a long time to come.

We spent an enlightening day with Thupten, learning about Tibetan history, culture, religion. Thupten is a repository of information, yet invites all to enquire further and discover the truth for themselves. It really was a full day trip, so def plan on being out all day. I think we made it back to our hotel around 6pm. Modern Tibetan history is fraught with injustice and oppression, yet the resilience and deep seated faith of the Tibetan people is very much on display during this intimate journey through the day to day lives of Tibetan refugees in Nepal. Highlights of our day included visiting Tibetan doctors and learning about their medical practices. And even getting an overall health diagnosis based on our pulse readings, tongue color, and some other measures. The visit to the Tibetan Buddhist Monastery was also quite engaging; watching the monks pray, practice for a holy feast, and talking with a young monk on his experience were all genuinely unique and moving. Perhaps watching my kids play football/soccer w the monks was the coolest thing of the day! The trip ends with a visit to a family's home to learn more about Tibetan diet and cuisine (butter tea, bread, and a barley based snack whose name I have forgot!) If you are traveling w kids, I would strongly recommend weighing the half day vs full day options.

This was truly the most interesting and insightful tour, all the reviews were right. Thupten is so extremely knowledgeable, honest, and kind.

Excellent tour, excellent guide. Rich cultural experience. I highly recommend it. Learned a lot, especially as the trip includes personal encounter with members of Tibetian community.

I did the full day cultural tour. This is a rare opportunity to have the recent history of Tibet explained to you in passionate detail, to learn about Tibetan medicine, Tibetan carpet making, to talk to a young monk and see first hand how the Tibetan refugees have made a beautiful home in Nepal. As though that is not enough, the guide teaches you about the thinking of the 14th Dalai Lama leaving you eager to follow up on all the wonderful leads he has given me. I also enjoyed a delicious Tibetan lunch as well. What makes this tour so unique is the guide - he speaks perfect English, presents information interestingly and is passionate to share the story of his people. I have been in Pokhara for 7 days and have seen and done many things - but today’s tour was the thing i cherish the most of all i have done in Pokhara.
