Tibetan Carpets
Tashling Tibetan Village of Pokhara NEPAL
Nepal is home to several Tibetan Refugee Villages. On the 4COTW travels we spend as much
time as possible at these amazing places. The people are the warmest and most aware you
will find any where in the world. At each visit, we are afforded the opportunity to eat,
have tea, visit freely and meditate with the monks. To us, the Tibetan culture represents
the goodness of our world, people who have been thwarted by greed and still remain
patient, genuinely peaceful and thriving. ALL proceeds from the sale of Tibetan
Carpets goes back to the Tibetan Villages. 4COTW simply acts as a Western link for
their products.
Tashling Tibetan Village has a CULTURAL EXCHANGE PROGRAM for those who wish to both
tutor and study at the Tashling Village. More information can be found on the Cultural
Exchange Program at

SCENES from the Tashling Tibetan Village in Pokhara NEPAL

Welcome to 4CornersOfTheWorld, a
representation of people and arts of Tibet and Nepal. Here's how we work. We travel to the
exotic lands, and meet and greet with the top artists around. On location, we usually buy
what we feel are the best pieces of art from that individual. We also photograph the
artist, record his/her inspirations and/or photograph their homes and communities. This
enables two things to happen. First, buyers seeking authentic art from these most peaceful
and alluring locations now have a place to find and purchase arts, as well as share in the origins of
their purchases. Secondly, it serves to promote these talented masters and open a new outlet
for sharing and exporting their works. The vast majority of profits (85%) are returned to the
artists or their villages. Our goal is to be a catalyst for these remote talents gaining
the visibility and financial support they deserve.
To be
completely open with our business practices, I must say that profits from incense and teas
are the revenue generating portion of our business. And although our prices are great,
this wholesale and internet sale of these items is what keeps us growing and expanding.
So thanks, and enjoy your
shopping experience. and if you decide to purchase any merchandise, please contact us at:
