  I booked yet another stay at Thupten's place on AirBnB (4th one so far) because not only the room is in perfect condition, but Thupten, the host, is very reliable,... read more professional and accommodating. I also booked a trek to Mardi Himal through his company Tibetan Encounter and he provided all the necessary information and even supplies that I didn't have with me. His guide was also very knowledgeable of the mountains and has over 30 years of experience, so together they make the perfect duo. I would absolutely recommend anyone both to stay at Thupten's home and to try out at least one of many treks and day tours that he has on offer through Tibetan Encounter.

I booked my first day tour with Tibetan Encounter in 2018 on my first trip to Nepal, and since then everytime I'm visiting Nepal I contact Thupten either for accommodation in Pokhara or for a trek or day tour (or both) because I know I can trust that he offers the best services! And as a bonus, he is very kind, helpful and friendly.
