I highly recommend this tour! Thupten was excellent - went into so much detail about everything, and is clearly a very knowledgable and experienced guide. I could listen to him all day!Highlights were the rug making, attending the puja, and trying the butter tea 😄Thank you again Thupten for an excellent educational experience!🙏Through the tour we learned a lot about Tibet, the people, their culture and current situation. Thupten explained a lot to us in a friendly but skilful manner. We can highly recommend the tour to everyone!I had an amazing experience. Team is always willing to help in whatever ways possible.I did two wonderful tours with Tibetan Encounters! And both were much more than what I expected, the guides where caring and loving. I wish everyone could live this experience!! I did the hike to Australian Camp and the Tibetan Tour; I cannot choose which one was better but I totally recommend any hike, tour, package or sport you’d like to do with them! I did both experiences solo but I am sure if you are with your friends or family you will enjoy it just as much!!I could not be more thankful to Thupten and Tsering for the wonderful days I spent with you!!I hope every kindness you showed to me returns to you guys!🫶🏻I spent a pleasant afternoon talking with a young Tibetan monk and, afterwards, having butter tea in a private Tibetan home. Thank you,Thupten, for your dedication to preserving Tibetan culture in Nepal.I joined the full day Tibetan Encounter tour and it was an incredible experience - definitely 5 stars. Thupten is an exceptional guide who has excellent english, speaks very clearly and is very engaging. He provided a very informative and interesting history and state of affairs of the Tibetan diaspora within Nepal and abroad. I walked away from this tour feeling like an expert on the topic. The tour consists of a very nice variety of activities and experiences. The Tibetan lunch was one of the best meals I had in Nepal. Joining the Tibetan buddhist monks for the afternoon prayer was a very cool experience I otherwise would not have known about/to join. The opportunity to speak to a monk was also something you wouldn’t be able to do if not for the tour. I also really appreciated that the tour didn’t involve any pressure to buy tourist souvenirs - although it is good to support the villages if and where you can as this their livelihood depends on selling souvenirs. If you’re interested in learning more about the Tibetans in Nepal and/or you want to experience slightly different and less touristy while in Nepal, I highly recommend the tour.I encourage everyone visiting Pokhara to book a tour here. It is really important to learn about Tibetan culture and their way of life. I learned valuable lessons, thank you Thupten. I'll remember your words and do my best to let others know 🙏 Also I appreciated your book recommendations!We enjoyed our half day experience very much! Throughout the morning our guide explained a lot of things about Tibetan culture and the current situation.We enjoyed a lot being able to participate to the morning prayer, to see how the monks live, and the chance to talk to one of them.It was definitely an enriching life experience!We took the afternoon half day tour. Thupten was a very knowledgeable guide who taught us so much about Tibetan culture, Buddhism and life as a Tibetan in Nepal, along with a monk who answered our questions about his life and beliefs in great depth. We also tried some traditional tea and bread. Recognising and preserving Tibetan culture is of paramount importance, so I’d recommend this tour to everyone.Look no further for what to spend your time on in Pokhara! It’s hard to express just how much this tour meant to us. We feel so grateful to have been able to learn from Thupten and be part of the unique experiences he puts together for the tour. He is so hospitable, knowledgeable, and a wonderful tour guide. Go on this tour, you will be glad you did!
A rich and immersive experience of Tibetan culture awaits!
