This was a fantastic tour. It was eye opening learning about the struggles and resilience of the Tibetan refugees in Nepal. The sunrise was incredible and the educational lesson on the car ride down was such a lovely way to transition to breakfast- a traditional Tibetan breakfast- I loved trying butter tea and Tibetan bread won my heart- shame I was too full to eat a second piece!! Having the time to talk to a senior monk about Buddhism and his journey in the monastery was very lovely. Thanks again for this wonderful tour ❤️
Our guide Thupten also helped us organise our paragliding session- and we couldn’t be more thankful. We were also so lucky that this tour agency helped explain the local treks in the area- this was incredibly helpful and reduced our confusion.
