About this activity
Pokhara has housed a sizable Tibetan refugee community ever since the initial exodus in 1959.

At each camp, you will will explore monasteries, Buddhist monk school, Buddhist temples, see their hand made manufacturing arts
Because of a Nepalese trade agreement with China, Tibetan refugees are not officially recognized by the government and are therefore not allowed to own land, drive a car, work or claim any state benefits. You can help their plight and contribute to their livelihood by purchasing a souvenir to take home. Most of the items for sale are genuine in terms of being handmade. They can and should be bartered for.
