Overview

  • Experience Tibetan heritage first-hand on our Tibetan Cultural Tour in Pokhara, guided by Mr. Thupten Gyatso, a native Tibetan with a lifelong connection to the region. This is a shared group tour for travellers with a genuine curiosity about Tibetan culture.

    This is not a conventional sightseeing tour. It is an educational experience for those who wish to gain deeper insight into Tibet, its people, history, traditions, and cultural heritage. Through visits to Tibetan refugee settlements, you will come to understand the faith, daily life, and resilience of the community in Nepal.

    Together with our professional Tibetan guide, you will learn about Buddhism, food, art, and crafts, while local communities openly share their way of life and beliefs.

    We highly recommend this tour to travellers keen on meaningful learning and authentic Tibetan culture beyond typical tourist activities.
