Recommended wholeheartedly! - Mr Thupten is a fantastic guide. Incredibly knowledgeable and candid. I learned so much and had the opportunity to ask many questions also. I did the half day tour, it was fascinating speaking with the Tibetan doctor. Lunch was delicious too!

Do this instead of going by yourself - We are an young Danish couple and found this visit to the Tibitan Refuge Settlement very interesting and as one of the most wholesome experiences to try in Pokhara. We were very glad to hear the stories and explanations by Thupten and would really recommend others to be guided by Thupten to get an extremely great tour.

Tibetan cultural tour with Thupten - Wonderful tour with Thupten. He is a very knowledgeable man and very passionate about Tibetan culture. He knows so much about history but also buddhism. I asked a lot of questions and he answers very patiently and precisely. He speaks very well english, so it was not too difficult for me to understand as a French woman not very fluent in english. Thank you for this very interesting tour !

An excellent tour by a very informative guide. - This was a very informative overview of the Tibetan situation in Nepal. Our guide was extremely thorough. We learned a lot, not only about the Tibetan refugee hisory, but about Tibetan Buddhism in general. Highly recommended. We had not been planning on doing this tour (in fact... hadn't even heard of it) but with some extra time in Pakhora we gave it a try and it was definitely one of the real highlights of our visit.

Passionate Thupten who sincerely wants to educate everyone about Tibetan Culture - Thupten passion oozes out on this tour, and he made me yearn to visit Tibet. I wished I had more time to spend with him as he had so many details about Buddhism and Tibetan culture and way of life. We stepped into a Tibetan home in the refugee camp, experienced the morning prayers at the monastery and even had 30 mins to chat with a monk and learn about his spiritual journey -- what a treat! I loved the monk's response when i asked him what he enjoyed the most at the monastery: spending time with the younger monks (those under 10yo) to share a laugh over simple nothingness. ཐུགས་རྗེ་ཆེ my friend!

An Incredible Insight into the World of Tibet - Such an enriching rewarding experience. Thutkpen is literally a walking encyclopedia of the history and culture of the Tibetan people. His passion for his people, natural beauty and struggles shines through in his amazing stories and knowledge. He also gave me such an insight into Buddhism and the teachings which was so appreciated and fascinating. I was totally enthralled. I had trekked through many remote Tibetan villages and this gave me such an informed understanding of the way of life and traditions. This has been an absolute highlight of my time in Pokhara. Highly recommend. I learnt so so much wanting to research so much more about this fascinating kingdom, the people the Dalai Lama his journey and and and! My guide and mentor was the BEST teacher EVER! Gold gold stars! This is a MUST.

A learning and cultural experience - The visit was so instructive, it was so nice to discover the Tibetan culture and Bouddhism. I really feel that I learnt a lot thanks to Thukpen. I only put 4 stars for the price, but we have to take in count that it includes : a small bottle of water, a medicine consultation (quick but impressive) and lunch. So despite the price, I still think it's really worth it ! Could recommend !
