Project Details

AsiaHorizon’s intensive language program offers our volunteers the basic knowledge of local language and provides unique insight into the local life of Tibet’s welcoming people and culture, a rare experience in any tourist journey. In addition to language classes, our program offers visits to some of the most wonderful tourist attractions in Tibet. Following is the schedule for a week-long orientation program.

You will begin your one-week Tibetan language and orientation classes in the cultural capital of Lhasa getting the glimpses of this amazing country. Our language and cultural course combines language training, lectures on Tibetan culture, history, religions, and other issues. In free time, you can hike in the rural villages and local bazaars, and visit some of the cultural wonders of Tibet like Potala Palace, and other various important monasteries and enjoy one of the most mysterious regions of the world.
