Bags packed for India at the Tibetan Reception Center, Kathmandu Nepal.

            At the Reception Center, all are Tibetan refugees that has arrived from Tibet in the last couple of weeks. They cannot stay in Nepal as Nepal does not anymore allow Tibetans to settle anymore. They will transfer to India at the latest a month after their escape from Tibet to Nepal. In India they will all first go to Dharamsala where they meet His Holiness the Dalai lama, who has made it his rule to greet all newly arrived refugees in person. First though, they stay here at the Reception center. They receive medical care for frostbites and injuries, dehydration and diarrhea, or whatever problems they have brought with them from the unimaginable flight across the world’s highest mountain range. They will be interviewed, both by the UNHCR – the United Nation’s High Commissioner for Refugees, and by personnel from the Central Tibetan Administration – more commonly known as the Dalai lama’s Government in Exile.
