Overview

  • Step into the heart of Tibetan heritage with our Tibetan Cultural Tour in Pokhara, led by Mr. Thupten Gyatso, a native Tibetan with deep roots in the region. This is a shared group tour, bringing together like-minded travellers who are eager to learn about Tibetan culture.

    Far from a generic sightseeing outing, this is an educational journey for those with a genuine interest in Tibet, its people, history, traditions, and cultural heritage. Through visits to Tibetan refugee settlements, you will gain a personal understanding of Tibetan religion, daily life, and the resilience of the community in Nepal.

    With a professional Tibetan guide, you will explore Buddhism, cuisine, art, and traditional crafts, while the local community openly shares its customs and beliefs.

    We warmly recommend this tour to travellers who value meaningful learning and wish to experience authentic Tibetan culture beyond the typical tourist trail.
