Nepal & India Gap Semester | Pacific Discovery

A Journey of Adventure, Purpose, and Connection — Discover Nepal & India Beyond the Ordinary Journey into the heart of Nepal and India on a 10-week adventure designed for growth, connection, and purpose.

Every moment is built for transformation: cultural immersion for the curious, hands-on service for the changemaker, guided reflection for the gap year adventurer, and skill-building for those preparing for what’s next. With experienced instructors and a supportive group, you’ll gain confidence, resilience, and clarity about your path ahead. Whether you’re seeking a reset before college, an alternative to traditional study abroad, a sustainable way to travel, or a deeper connection with global communities, this journey helps you grow into who you’re becoming—while seeing the world through new eyes.

Program: Nepal & India Gap Semester | Pacific Discovery

I was looking for a trip that was going to be educational and authentic and fun. Without a doubt, I found it! Nepal and Tibet are truly incredible places, and coming home, I feel like I really got to connect with each of them and live like a Nepali. There were so many nights that I spent talking/singing/dancing with the locals, and I felt so lucky every day, and so grateful for every experience, be it trekking, rafting, getting lost in the cities, paragliding, yoga, or mountain biking, and for every other wonderful moment. The Pacific Discovery staff was awesome, teaching us everything from the very basics of travel to the pressing social and political issues in Nepal. Our leaders trusted us and supported us completely, and they were my friends above all. I would do this trip a thousand times over, and I recommend it to anyone and everyone. Overall, the best decision I've ever made!
