Begin with a comfortable pickup from your Lakeside hotel. As you drive into the serene countryside, your expert local guide will gently introduce you to the story of Tibet in Nepal.
Your first stop is a serene monastic institute. Feel the quiet power of devotion as you learn about Buddhist symbols—the spinning prayer wheels, fluttering flags, and elegant stupas—and the profound meanings they hold in daily life.
Enjoy a rare and privileged conversation with a young Buddhist monk. Listen to his personal journey, his studies, and the rhythms of monastic life. This open dialogue is a highlight, offering genuine insight.
Then, visit the Tashi Palkhel Tibetan Settlement. Here, you are a welcomed guest in a local family home. Savor the authentic taste of traditional butter tea and homemade Tibetan snacks, shared with stories and smiles.
