The Tamagi Museum and Learning Centre is a livelihood museum erected in order to educate and inform visitors to Tamagi. The main building is the point of departure for excursions to 10-15 sites within walking distance (2-2.5 km total distance), allowing visitors to conveniently and safely access local resources such as holy shrines, viewpoints, sites with ecological significance such as the agricultural terraces as well as a short meditation in the Enlightenment Stupa to round off their visit to Tamagi. Information regarding historical & ecological significance and walking distances to points of interest are available in the TMLC Office next to the main museum building and on the Internet. QR codes have been posted at numerous points of interest allowing visitors to access more detailed information (in Nepali and English) by means of their personal smartphones.

TMLC’s offerings target school children, students, researchers and people with family ties to Tamagi and its neighbouring villages – many of whom are living abroad – locals, organisations/associations as well as foreign and domestic tourists. The Gurkha Impact exhibit is of special interest to ex-Gurkhas and their families with its focus on the direct and indirect impact recruitment of Tamagi’s young men has had on remote villages such as Tamagi. Community Development and Livlihood are TMLC’s two remaining focus areas, highlighting the chanages Tamagi has undergone in the last century.
