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 Summer Passage takes place in Nepal but spans the culture of both Nepal as well as that of Tibet that thrives among the Tibetan people in exile.

“I think being in Nepal itself was the most positive experience. Like I told my coordinator: In the midst of the pollution, the strikes, and the poverty, Nepal has a charm about it that pulls you in and makes you want to know more about yourself and the culture responsible for this process of self-awareness.”
- Isabel Garcia, Personal Passage 2009 |
