“Absolut empfehlenswert für jeden, der etwas über die tibetische Kultur lernen möchte! Die Ganztagestour gibt einen sehr vielfältigen Einblick in die Kultur: Siedlungen, Teppichworkshop, Museum, Gespräch mit einem ayurvedischen Doktor. Nach dem Mittagessen geht es noch spektakulärer weiter: Gespräch mit einem sehr nahbaren Mönch, Abendgebet der Mönche (beeindruckende Erfahrung!!), Tee-Zeremonie. Alles begleitet von Thupten Gytsao, der in bestem Englisch eine wirklich faszinierende, tiefgründige und gut strukturierte Einsicht in die tibetische Kultur gibt, ohne jemals zu langweiligen. Ich kann diese Tour nur empfehlen. Tipp noch: Direkt beim Anbieter buchen, hier ist es deutlich günstiger ;-)”
