I loved sitting in the quiet village green watching the village life pass by around us while Tupthen was telling us about Buddhism and Tibetan history. Intense and packed with information. Then, a pregnant cow came next to us to greet us, stealing all the attention. Tupthen gracefully paused to acknowledge and enjoy this special important moment: Her calf kicking inside her. Tupthen give detailed spoken history, stories, Buddhist principles information from past and present, and times to reflect and rest in quiet observation: tasting delicious Tibetan food, listening to the cacophony of young monks prayers learning to master their own attention. I missed the chance to speak with women. But I stole this moments stepping out to greet them. Tupthen offers in one day so much! A must if wish to understand the Tibetan culture, their history, their struggle, their hopes and worries today. The importance of the Tibetan land in today's world climate struggles it was fascinating. Thank you.

The full day Tibetan Encounters tour was one of the highlights of my trip to Nepal Thubten is more than a guide. He has a deep knowledge of Tibetan culture and history. He is a passionate advocate for the Tibetan people and seamlessly weaves history, science, and Buddhist philosophy throughout this amazing educational and cultural visit. We visited two refugee settlements were served butter tea in a traditional Tibetan home. We visited Buddhist monasteries and set down with a Buddhist monk to learn about his life, and so much more. If you’re in Pokhara, don’t miss this opportunity to discover everything you never knew about Tibet.

We opted for the full-day experience, and it delivered in every way. Thupten is an impressively charismatic host, effortlessly speaking at length and great depth on every relevant topic, including ones we brought up - he is a joy to listen to. His tour is finely honed yet flexible and relaxed and always fascinating, and he offers all manner of insights that feel significant and genuine - none of the canned platitudes of mediocre guides. Most locations are possible to visit on your own, but Thupten's insight and inside connection are invaluable - for me the highlight was having tea in a local home: Tibetan yak butter tea and tsampa (barley flour mixed with tea and more butter) were both surprisingly delicious and filling, and I would never have looked for them on my own. You can certainly read about Tibet and enjoy the many good books on its history, but hearing everything from a local in situ makes everything less abstract and much more rewarding - an opportunity not to be missed.
This tour in Nepal is organized by The Tibetan Encounter Day Tours.
