The tour is interesting and professional. It gives you a deeper understanding of the Tibetan culture (food, medication and art), Tibetan Buddhism and Tibetan history. I highly recommend taking the morning tour so you’ll be able to join the morning prayer at a Tibetan monastery.

Thupten’s passion and knowledge illuminated every stop of the tour. From insightful explanations at monasteries to facilitating meaningful interactions with local Tibetan families, his expertise and warmth made the journey truly enriching.
