Mr Thupten Gyatso la took me and my family on a full day Pokhara trip. Our journey started at 5am in the morning to Sunrise point and the day followed with lots of information on Tibetan settlement, Tibetan Buddhism, Pokhara and lots of lots of fun activities.
What is unique about Thupten Gyatso la’s touring is that he personally enjoys taking people around and talking about things all related to Tibet.
I highly recommend him as Tibetan Cultural guide in Pokhara. His office located in Pokhara lake side ‘Tibetan Encounter’ shall give you all the information related.
Best wishes to Thupten Gyatso la.
