Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I love native crafts, and the quality and quantity of these hand-made rugs is exquisite. You can see the skills of the craftsmen, from spinning the wool to producing a fine high quality rug minute by minute. I couldn't get my eyes off the amount of work and the amazingly low prices for the quality of work. I have a rug that I brought home, and I adore it. Please support this amazing place!!

Highly recommended - Museum and hand made carpets, other gift shops. On an established residential Tibetan refugee camp , friendly and well worth a visit
Small informative museum . We bought two very small carpets which are beautifully crafted. No pressure to buy and packed for easy transportation or shipping. Worth saving some of your holiday money if you love and appreciate hand crafts. Our cat seems to really like them too!

After the Tibetan uprising against the Chinese invasion hoards of Tibetans fled to Nepal. Many of these were carpet weavers who were provided rehabilitated by the Nepalese government in camps like this. Thus this kind of camps have been homes for the Tibetan refugees for more than forty years. The Tashiling Settlement was established in 1964 to provide a place where these artisans could produce and sell their carpets. It is located about 300 yards away from the famous Devi's Fall. The carpets here are made from the finest hand spun pure wool imported from Tibet. The yarn is dyed, processed and woven before your eyes. The carpets are made in 100, 80 or 60 knots per square inch. They are next tagged, finished and sold in the adjoining warehouse. The profit of the centre is used for the education, health care, sanitation and old age care taking of the Tibetan Refugees. A visit to this place is a must for all carpet enthusiasts and youngsters.

We went to purchase a rug today and counted out 8 X bundles of NR10,000 (80,000) onto the counter for payment. We took the rug to our car while they wrote the receipt. When we returned, they said there was only 70,000. So disappointed that they would do this. We will be living in Pokhara for 3 years and intended to buy more rugs - but it won't be from here now!

Tibetan refugees had to learn ways to survive in Nepal given the restrictions put on them regarding work, citizenship and study. This carpet place will give you an idea of how they hand made carpets using Tibetan yak wool and New Zealand wool. The products are beautiful. Talk to the locals whilst you are here and get to know about the carpets and the people. More importantly, purchase a thing or two and support the refugees.

This is a great place to learn about and help the Tibetan Refugees. They have a museum that is a must see to learn and appreciate the difficulties they have endured. It will add much more meaning to the work they do here. Go and see the women first hand making their rugs and wall hangings. You may then go and visit the store of which the money goes back into the community! I was not sure how I was going to get my rug back but you would be amazed how tight they can wrap one to fit into a suitcase!

I didn't quite know what to expect, but found the building full of beautifully woven colorful rugs quite worth visiting. I hadn't planned to purchase so probably rushed through. Serious buyers were busy. Enjoyed walking along outside at all the tables filled with jewelry and knick-knacks. Bargaining wasn't quite like the normal experience because they all seemed to be part of the same group and moving to the next table wasn't an advantage. When I think of what these displaced Tibetans have been through I felt guilty about bargaining much anyway. Softie I am.

Good place for shopping. No bargaining for carpets (we bought one) and scope to negotiate for other handicraft stuff like jewelry and other decorative items.

The museum attached to the carpet centre is extremely thought provoking and upsetting. The Tibettans have been through so much and cannot call Nepal their country. The Nepalese government have been good to these people by providing them homes and a means to earn their living. I purchased a rug and it was delivered to Australia within 4-5 days. very efficient and very honest. A definite must visit and very humbling. I do count my blessings here in Australia
