Fantastic Authentic Cultural Experience - I stumbled upon this tour and wasn't sure what to expect. It has been one of the highlights of my trip to Nepal. I came away with so much more knowledge about Tibetan culture and buddhism. We had the opportunity to speak at lengths with one of the monks at one of the monasteries we visited and we were encouraged to ask as many questions as we liked. It was such an enlightening and authentic experience. I highly recommend this tour to all who would like authentic cultural connections.

Expand your knowledge of Tibetan life and culture - I joined the half day Tibetan Cultural Tour because I wanted to know more about the Tibetan people and their life in Nepal after escaping from Tibet post Chinese invasion. Our guide Thupten is extremely knowledgeable and he discussed how Tibetan refugees settled in Nepal, religion, education and culture. Bwe visited two different monasteries, spoke with a young monk and experienced prayers. Finally we visited a Tibetan home where we sampled some staple foods (the bread was delicious). I found the trip enjoyable and most informative and I feel more educated and aware of the plight of Tibetans.

Half Day Tibetan cultural tour - I’ve just returned from a trip to Nepal and was fortunate enough to join the half day program with Tibetan Encounters. Our tour guide Thupten’s knowledge of Tibet was endless and the tour was equally immersive and educational. Spending time in a local Tibetan community was the perfect way to learn about Tibetan culture, philosophies, food, history and heritage. If you’re looking to experience the living culture of Tibet, learn about how the Tibetan settlements were established in Nepal, visit a Buddhist monastery and learn about the monastic lifestyle first hand, then this tour is for you.

One of the Highlights of Pokhara - A wonderfully educational tour with a lot of local context and history. I went solo and there was one other person on the trip, so we got to practice some of the Tibetan rug making and had lots of time consulting with the Tibetan doctor. The food was amazing, I would recommend to everyone who is in Pokhara/Lakeside area

Great experience learning about the Tibetans in Nepal - I learned a lot about the Tibetans in Nepal. I especially enjoyed the opportunity to speak with a young monk for about half an hour. It was well worth the time and money.

A must-see experience - Thupten was an amazing guide! In just a short few hours, my group and I learnt so much about Tibetan culture, history and struggle. The Tibetan doctor visit is something we will remember for a long time. Thank you Thupten for your wisdom, passion and knowledge, and thank you for sharing it on your amazing tour!

Together with my brother - We went on a half day for Tibetan culture tour. Thupten is an amazing guide with much knowledge about the Tibetan cultue. My English isn't that good, but most of it I could understand, otherwise my brother could translate it for me. For me the best part was seeing the docter (maybe bcs I am nurse in my own country). I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the prize. If you like some history about the Tibetan Cultue and the Buddhism, I can highly recommend it.

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 !
