A 20 to 30 minutes walk from Chowrasta through leafy glades and
tea plantations, brings you down to the Tibetan Refugee Centre.
Established in 1959, the centre comprises a home for the aged,
and orphanage, school, hospital and craft workshops that produce
carpets of pure ladakhi wool, woodcarving, leather work and wool
items.
A wide range of Tibetan arts and crafts are on display at the
Centre. The highly skilled and creative individuals of the
Centre produce striking wool carpets, jackets, leather coats,
shawls and carved wood furniture. The weaving and dyeing
shops and the wood carving shop are particularly interesting.
