Observations of gamma rays around 1012 eV (= 1 TeV) from pulsars are reviewed and the results are discussed and compared with emission at other wavelengths. Very high energy gamma rays do not appear to be modulated with the pulsar period, which suggests that a major part of the VHE emission is not from the pulsar magnetosphere.
