Myself and boyfriend did the early morning tour (5am-2pm) which includes everything on their leaflets: Buddhist prayer chanting, breakfast in a Tibetan home, discussions with a Buddhist monk, visits to 2 x refugee camps and more! It was an incredible tour, our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and a captivating story-teller. We were immediately sucked into the world he painted for us of the Tibetans fleeing Tibet and the amazing guidance of the Dalai Lama. I didn’t know anything about his teaching before this tour, and it has opened my eyes! Totally worth the $65, I feel much more connected and enriched from my visit to Nepal after this tour.LucyBB_13

This was a highlight of our stay in Pokhara. Fascinating, informative and moving tour. Thupten is a wonderful and very knowledgeable guide, giving us an inside view on the refugee camps. He picked us up from the hotel, we started by visiting morning prayers at the monastery, then had breakfast in a Tibetan family home. Many activities, a good length, one highlight was getting diagnosis from a Tibetan doctor and getting to ask him questions about Tibetan medicine. Highly recommended.ChefLeavitt

Thupten is incredibly knowledgeable about Tibetan history, the culture of its people and the Tibetan refugees from his first hand experience of living in the refugee camps with his family. Thupten's personality is a beautiful blend of a great sense of humor and a truth telling "tell it like it is" mentality. My eyes were opened wide being educated about the Tibetan culture and their Buddhist religion. It will have you want to advocate for basic human rights for all who are being suppressed by governments, religions and other people worldwide. This tour is a MUST to be added to your itinerary when in Pokhara!Martin K

Wir haben die Morgentour gebucht, welche bereits 5:30 Uhr begann. Es hat sich mehr als gelohnt! Wir waren zu viert und wurden mit dem Auto am Hotel abgeholt. Wir nahmen an einem morgendlichen Gebet in einem Kloster teil. Es folgte ein einfaches tibetisches Frühstück mit Buttertee, Brot und Gerstenbrei. Anschließend suchten wir ein weiteres Kloster auf und bekamen die Möglichkeit mit einem Mönch zu sprechen und alle uns interessierenden Fragen zu stellen. Wir bekamen Eindrücke in das tibetische Handwerk des Teppichknüpfens und besuchten eine Galerie, welche die Anfänge tibetischer Siedlungen dokumentiert. Unser Guide empfing uns herzlich, sprach sehr gut Englisch, war hoch motiviert uns die Geschichte und kulturellen, traditionellen sowie religiösen Aspekte der Tibeter zu vermitteln. Ein rundum gelungener Ausflug. Die Tour ist absolut empfehlenswert.karenmuller_coach

Fue maravilloso profundizar en la historia y los mensajes de un pueblo tremendamente valiente y sobreviviente!!! Thupten Gyatso al provenir de una familia de refugiados nos pudo mostrar y relatar apasionadamente la historia y el presente de su pueblo, aún en el exilio en la ciudad de Pokhara. Es un tour intenso, y disfrutamos de cada momento. Lo más interesante para nosotras fue poder conversar con un monje y conocer un poco su día a día. También experimentar una visita con el médico local y recibir diagnóstico holístico. Y qué rico fue tomar desayuno como lo hacían en el Tibet (té con mantequilla y sal, delicioso)!!!56laetitiag

Heel leuke tour met interessante onderdelen, zoals een gesprek met een Boeddhistische monnik. Thupten is een aardige man die veel uitleg geeft en van binnenuit vertelt. Aanrader!
