Amazing experience, very authentic - Truly loved this day tour! Thupten, the guide, was not just informative but very passionate about sharing his culture. I learned a lot about the Tibetan’s history in Nepal, Tibetan Buddhism, and daily life there. The monasteries were beautiful. Overall I was very moved by my visit here and feel inspired to learn more about Tibet. I highly recommend this tour!!

discovery of Tibetan culture and Buddhism - I did the half-day tour. It was an excellent visit with a guide who explained very well what Tibetan culture is and represents. The discovery of two monasteries, one with morning prayer, the opportunity to exchange with a Tibetan monk and the typical Tibetan breakfast, were enriching moments of immersion. I recommend.

Authentic, informational and enriching - I did the morning half-day cultural tour and it was an incredible experience. Thupten is kind, thoughtful, and has a wealth of knowledge. I highly recommend booking this tour if you want an authentic experience and a unique opportunity to learn about Tibetan culture in Nepal and South Asia. My only regret is that I didn’t have enough time to do a longer tour.

True local experience - The experience with Thupten was fantastic. As planned, we started in the morning at the Tibetan village and then ended up in another Buddhist monastery. Thupten’s passion and transport in telling his culture accompanied us from beginning to end, from the traditional breakfast in a village house to the meeting with the young monk of the monastery, with whom it was a real pleasure to converse. There remains the desire to learn more about Tibetan culture and Buddhism. Experience absolutely recommended!

Great tour, good introduction to Tibetan history and culture with a very knowledgeable guide - Definitely reccomend! This your was a great experience and introduction to Tibetan history and culture, as well as buddhism. We did a half day tour but a full day tour would also be worth it I think. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to speak with a monk!

Great experience (not touristy) - The experience is very positive. Through narration of Tibetan history and culture, visit of monasteries, direct confrontation with the people who are part of it seems to connect with those places and worlds different from yours. I'd do it again!

Taster of tibetan culture with Thupten - Thupten our exceptional guide is highly knowledgeable yet humble in inviting us to the challenge of questioing his information and to be critical thinkers ( following the gentle wise footsteps of the Dalai Lama ) His prepation was impeccable and his passion contagious. It was meaningful to receive this experience through the lived experience eyes of remarkable human beings ( monk included ) with tibetan heritage.We not only received informative historical facts but were also enlightened as to the current social cultural realities faced by the Tibetan refugees- that leaves one with human concern and compassion. HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU REQUEST THUPTEN !
