To get to Tibet is more expensive than a trip to Karnataka or Goa (from where one often comes on excursions). And Buddhists can be found both there and there. Therefore fans, fans, researchers and connoisseurs of culture of Buddhist monks often come to this corner of Karnataka.
Small Tibet in the Indian state of Karnataka was built on donations in 1959-1963, after the Communist government of the Red China annexed the territory of Tibet by military invasion.
Especially for tourists, excursions are organized here, during which one can visit temples on the territory of monasteries. Guests get acquainted with the way of life, traditions and rituals of monks. The acquaintance is superficial enough not to bother tourists.
Some monks freely communicate in Russian, there are natives of Russia. They can tell in detail about life in Small Tibet, show all the nooks and feed them with local food.
From souvenirs from here you can take carpets - in the Craft Center the monks work with every carpet, as with a work of art.
