About Tibetan Refugee Self Help Centre

The Tibetan Refugee Self Help Centre in Darjeeling, established in 1959, serves as a vital rehabilitation center for Tibetan refugees who fled their homeland following the Chinese invasion. Nestled on a quiet hillside, the center is a living example of resilience, where displaced Tibetans have built a self-sustaining community. It is known for its traditional handicrafts, including exquisite woolen carpets, wood carvings, leatherwork, and handwoven textiles—all crafted by skilled Tibetan artisans. Visitors can explore the workshops, museum, and photo gallery that chronicle Tibet’s rich cultural heritage and the refugees' journey. The center not only preserves Tibetan art and culture but also supports the livelihoods of the refugee community through education, health care, and vocational training. It’s a peaceful, inspiring place that reflects the strength and spirit of the Tibetan people.

Booked: Assam & Meghalaya Discovery - Mystic Caves to Living Roots

Had a lovely experience exploring Assam and Meghalaya with Viacation. The team was very responsive and ensured everything went as planned. The destinations were stunning, and we got to explore culture, nature, and local food too. Would surely recommend them for a relaxed and well-curated Northeast trip!

Poora tour bahut achhi tarah se manage kiya gaya tha. Pickup aur transfers time pe the aur cab driver bhi friendly aur knowledgeable tha. Sightseeing spots like Dawki River, Living Root Bridge, aur Kaziranga safari hamesha yaad rahegi. Viacation ka thanks bolna chahunga for itna achha plan banane ke liye!
