It is hard to imagine a more exhilarating landscape or people and geography as diverse as Nepal's. Within its narrow borders, a complete climatic range, from tropical to temperate, alpine to arctic can be found. Cultural diversity is celebrated by the country's population of 29 million, who speak as many as 30 different languages and dialects.
The Himalaya Semester Passage takes place in Nepal but spans the culture of Nepal as well as that of Tibet that thrives among the Tibetan people in exile.  Simikot, Far Western Nepal |

“To hear the trials and triumphs, to understand the religion and culture from their point of view, to eat their amazing food and to learn their language is an experience that no book can explain, no words can describe. I thank my host family from the bottom of my heart for their openness, hospitality, history, and for including me in their story."
- Leah, Tibetan Summer 2006 |
