Volunteer programs in Asia: about the country I'm going to

Asia is not just the largest part of the world. It is a world of ancient civilizations, natural wonders and cultural diversity, where every country is like a separate universe. It is here that the highest point on the planet — Mount Everest is located, and a little to the south lie the fairy-tale beaches of the Maldives, where the sun shines year-round.

From the snow-capped peaks of Nepal to the humid jungles of Thailand, from the barren deserts of the Middle East to the rice terraces of Bali — Asia’s climate amazes with its diversity. Here you can find virtually all of the Earth’s natural zones.

More than 3.4 billion people live on this continent, which makes up about 60% of the world’s population. Asia is the cradle of world religions: Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam and many other spiritual traditions originated here, influencing billions of people around the globe.

Immersing yourself in Asia, you discover a world of ancient temples, endless markets, street food, hospitality and wisdom. Visit the Taj Mahal in India, the Borobudur temple in Indonesia, the Forbidden City in China and dozens of other amazing places that tell stories spanning millennia.
