The Tibetan Refugee Self Help Centre is near Lebong and was founded in 1959 to provide shelter for refugees from Tibet. At present, it has expanded to accommodate an orphanage, school and monastery while providing much needed refuge for the elderly and orphans.

One of the highlights of the Tibetan Refugee Self Help Centre are the handicrafts produced in their craft workshops. These include Tibetan carpets, wood carvings and leather-based products. In addition, there is a shop that sells Tibetan coins, banknotes and trinkets.

Visitors can get to the Tibetan Refugee Self Help Centre via local taxi or one may opt to walk along the Chowrasta Hermitage Road to get to the Tibetan Refugee Self Help Centre. No entrance fees are charged.
