  This tour was a wonderful experience and one that I would recommend for anyone visiting Pokhara.

The tour guide, Thupten, is a knowledgeable and passionate individual who sheds... read more light on the little known Tibetan refugees here in Pokhara, and the rest of Nepal, and the journey that they have had since leaving their country of Tibet after being invaded by China many years ago.

Thupten took me through two Tibetan refugee settlements here in Pokhara, as well as a monastery, and I was able to experience some of the authentic Tibetan culture in these areas. We visited a local Tibetan doctor who assessed me and provided traditional Tibetan medicine, I talked to a Buddhist monk in the monastery about the meaning of Tibetan Buddhism, and we tried traditional Tibetan dishes, such as the thenthuk, traditional momos, and Tibetan tea and tsampa porridge.

Through this tour, I was able to learn a lot about the history of Tibet and Buddhism and the struggles that modern Tibetan people face, both inside and outside of Tibet.

If you are in Pokhara, I highly recommend this day tour with Thupten, it is a day we’ll spent!
