I'm rarely this impressed by tours as they often end up being mediocre sightseeing, but this really exceeded my expectations. Thupten is clearly an extremely intelligent and thoughtful person who cares deeply about creating a meaningful learning experience. You really get an inside perspective on a fascinating culture and complex political situation that everyone would benefit from knowing more about. Plenty of opportunities to ask questions, and delicious food as well! At first it may seem more expensive than some everyday activities in Pokhara, but it's absolutely worth it, especially considering all the people involved. Thank you - I recommend this tour to anyone! More
