Lha arranges homestays of one month or more with Tibetan refugee families, giving participants a unique window into this ancient and at one time secret culture.

One of the main objectives behind the Tibetan homestay program is to let the world come to know about the Tibetan lifestyle– providing the participant with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a cultural and knowledge exchange with an authentic Tibetan flavor. Sharing daily meals with your host family and playing a significant role in the rituals of daily life will ensure you are left with incredible insights and unforgettable memories that you can take back home. In other words, experiencing first-hand the rich culture of the Tibetan people that still lives on today after centuries, despite all the hardships they are facing, will give you souvenirs of the mind and heart that other holidays don’t even begin to deliver.

 

This homestay service provided by Lha directly benefits the livelihood of Tibetan refugee families and the major portion of profit from the home-stay goes to the host families. This monetary assistance is a part of the wider educational, cultural and social services we offer to Tibetan refugees at Lha. For more details, please contact [email protected].
