Village Stay
A week of village stay, exploring the rural countryside, is included halfway during the program.  Situated in the dramatic landscape of the Himalayas, Nepal’s villages are some of the most breathtaking in the world.  Students will undoubtedly be impressed by the physical beauty, as well as by the outstanding generosity of the people.  The unique lifestyle of the village, which is both charmingly simple and sadly harsh, will surely impact the students in multiple ways.

“Living with Tsering La and Wang La has been an amazing experience. They have made me part of their family as I have lived here for years making me feel very comfortable and open to the experience. The grandfather in the family has been a great influence given his painting expertise and how spiritually driven he is. Even though he speaks neither English nor Nepali we were able to form a relationship showing the warm and welcoming spirit of the family. In all I am leaving with a very warm feeling in my heart and with relationships that I’m sure will last a lifetime.”
