❤️ WHO WE ARE
Himalaya Vibes is a family-run business founded in 2021 by me (Kunsang) and my husband (Karma) in the heart of Bern's old town. Rooted in Tibetan heritage and Himalayan craftsmanship, we connect cultures through authentic products from Tibet, India, and Nepal.
Himalaya Vibes was founded on a simple conviction: the wisdom of the Tibetan Himalayas deserves a firm place in modern Switzerland – not as decoration, but as a living practice.
In our store in Bern and in our online shop, you will find hand-picked products from the Himalayas – singing bowls, incense, thangkas, jewellery and more. Each piece carries a story and an intention.
We are not a wellness brand. We are bridge-builders – between Tibetan tradition and people who are looking for a genuine connection: to themselves, to a practice, to something enduring.
HOW OUR PRODUCTS ARE MADE
All our products are carefully selected and sourced directly from artisans, small family workshops, and Tibetan refugee communities in India and Nepal. We work closely with local producers who use traditional techniques, natural materials, and handcrafted methods passed down through generations.
We believe in ethical, slow, and sustainable trade. This means we avoid mass production, respect fair prices, and prioritize quality over quantity.
Our procurement model enables us to:
✔ To support refugee and rural communities
✔ Working with small, family-run workshops
✔ Paying fair and respectful prices
✔ To preserve traditional Tibetan and Himalayan craftsmanship
✔ To promote sustainable and conscious consumption
When you shop with us, you support real people, cultural heritage and a conscious lifestyle.
OUR STORY
2021 — The beginning in Bern
We opened our first small shop in Bern's old town with the dream of sharing Tibetan culture and healing products with the world.
2023 — India & Bodhgaya
We traveled to Bodhgaya, India, where we met Tibetan nuns living without a stable income or institutional support. Their simplicity, compassion, and dedication to serving humanity deeply touched us—and changed the direction of our mission.
Today — Growing with Purpose
We continue to expand our network with Tibetan refugee camps and artisans in India and Nepal. As our business grows, so does our commitment to giving back and supporting those who live with dignity, humility, and service.
