A Life-changing 3 Months

December 20, 2023by: Rowan Carr - United StatesProgram: Nepal Semester: Himalayan Studies (Gap Year)
10

I spent 3 months in Nepal with Where There Be Dragons. On my trip I spent a week at a buddhist monestary learning philosophy and medication and living alongside monks as they went about their daily lives. I lived for 2 weeks with a family in a rural village. During my time there I experienced life as a local while also having daily language lessons and group activities with the rest of my group. The family I stayed with spoke very little english and, at the time, I spoke very little Nepali, despite the language barrier I was able to connect so beautifully with my 3 siblings, my mother, and the slew of other single months and their children that often hung out at our house. They all made me feel so welcome and loved and J would say it was the most rewarding and special experience of my whole trip. I then spent a week trekking in the Himalayan mountains from village to village with my group. This was another beautiful experience, not only because of the views, but because of the connections I made with my fellow students and my instructors. Next I spent 3.5 weeks living with a different family in the city of Patan. Once again the group met daily for language classes and to explore the city. We also partook in independent study projects where we each got to choose a different Nepali skill to learn, I chose silver jewelry making and I came home with many pieces to share. The city itself was beautiful and had endless things to see but also my family was once again so welcoming and made me feel at home. I was fortunate enough to be there during two large festivals and I got to experience them first hand with my family, going to family gatherings and hosting as well. I felt so immersed in the culture. The last thing we did was another trek, this one was 2 weeks. We reached 5,106 meters (17,000ft) during this trek. Our team and guides were incredible and it was such a rewarding and incredible experience. I have never seen such views or connected so closely with my peers. I will be forever grateful that I attended this trip and I highly recommend it for anyone who has the opportunity. The only negative thing I can say is that it is fairly expensive and while they offer great financial aid, a spot is not guaranteed unless you are paying full price so the program could fill up before they process your financial aid. I recommend applying to a couple different programs just in case. Anyways, happy travels!!
