UBC’s Himalaya Program draws upon faculty expertise, student engagement, and community partnerships to create an interdisciplinary hub for sharing knowledge about the Himalayan region, including Bhutan, China, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and the Tibetan cultural zones that traverse all of these countries.
Beginning in Fall 2015, initial projects have included developing a language partner program to create opportunities for learning Nepali and Tibetan; developing a speaker and event series; and creating an interdisciplinary network across UBC and the broader Vancouver community.

The Himalaya Program is jointly funded by the UBC Faculty of Arts through the Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund (TLEF), the Centre for Community Engaged Learning, and the Institute of Asian Research.
