Tashiling Tibetan Settlement
Tashiling
A Tibetan refugee settlement founded in the 1960s, with a monastery, carpet-weaving workshops and a handicraft market. It offers a glimpse of the Tibetan community life in Pokhara.
Tashiling lies not far south of Davis Falls. The settlement has a small monastery, prayer wheels and handmade carpet workshops. Visitors can watch the weaving process and buy carpets, thangkas and Tibetan accessories. Restaurants run by Tibetan families serve momos and butter tea. A larger settlement, Tashi Palkhel, lies on the northern outskirts of Pokhara. Visits are free. Please respect residents' privacy and ask permission before taking photos.
