    History

    The Tibetan Market in Dalhousie emerged following the 1959 Tibetan uprising, when many Tibetan refugees settled in the area. They brought with them their rich cultural heritage, including their craftsmanship and trading skills. The market began as a small collection of stalls selling handmade goods to support the refugee community. Over time, it has grown into a popular tourist attraction, showcasing the vibrant Tibetan culture and providing a livelihood for many families. It serves as a reminder of the Tibetan diaspora and their resilience in preserving their traditions.
