Chagpori Medicine College, Tibetan medicine college in Darjeeling, India.
Chagpori is a medical center in Darjeeling that teaches and practices traditional Tibetan healing. It includes a school for medical training, a workshop where herbal remedies are made, and several clinics across the region that work together as one institution.
The institute was founded in 1992 and connects to a long tradition that began with a medical school in Lhasa. This link to the original Tibetan medical training shapes the teaching and practice here today.
Teaching here follows the principles of Tibetan medicine, which sees the body and mind as a connected system. Visitors can observe in the clinics how practitioners treat patients through conversation, pulse reading, and herbal preparations.
Treatment options are available in several nearby towns, so it helps to plan ahead about which clinic location works best for you. The teachings and treatments follow the Tibetan calendar, so it is worth checking in advance when you can visit.
In the pharmacy, herbs are still ground by hand and shaped into pills the way they were centuries ago, not with modern machines. This shows that old methods are not just taught here but put into practice every day.
