  Two months after doing a half day tour with Thupten it is a stand out moment of a two week trip to Nepal. Can't recommend this enough and would urge... read more everyone visiting Pokhara to spend at least half a day on this tour or the full day if you have the time. It was really interesting and Thupten answered all of our questions.

I learnt a lot and found the experience humbling and moving. I'm very grateful I did this tour, met Thupten and got some first hand knowledge. Thank you Thupten!
