A Guide to Studying Abroad in Nepal

Nepal is located in Northeast Asia and is bordered by China to the north and India on the west, south and east. The country is broken into three main regions: the Himalayan, mid hill region, and Terai region.

The Himalayan mountains, meaning “abode of snow”, are home to several of the world’s tallest peaks including the tallest of them all Mount Everest. One look and it is easy to see why thousands of visitors and climbers flock to them each year. They are stunning and provide a backdrop for the whole country stretching along the northern border.

Climate varies greatly depending on location since the nation’s geographical features range from snow covered peaks that reach for the sky to sea level tropical valleys. The range in elevation is huge. In the northern peaks, temperatures are extreme with hot summers and freezing winters but the south has a subtropical climate offering warmth, heavy rains and lots of sunshine.

Program: SIT Study Abroad: Nepal: Himalayan and Buddhist Peoples

I recently completed the SIT Nepal: Tibetan and Himalayan Peoples program and am so grateful for the experience, connections made, and time spent in Nepal. While there were so many highlights to my experience with SIT in Nepal, among my favorite memories/takeaways were my homestay (whom I am still in contact with), fabulous and welcoming Tibetan gen-las (teachers), and excursions to Dharamsala, India and Manang. Throughout this program I felt the SIT staff encouraged me to challenge myself but were also incredible resources for my overall well-being. I felt especially supported by SIT as I embarked on my ISP where I spent 19 days in the Solukhumbu (Everest) region conducting ethnographic research on the Sherpa population. I am so grateful for this truly once-in-a-lifetime experience and know it will shape the remainder of my life. I cannot recommend this program enough and look forward to remaining connected with friends/teachers from the program for years to come.

Surprising yet so fulfilling!

Program: SIT Study Abroad: Nepal: Dev., Gender, and Social Change

Nepal taught me so much about myself and what I want even after my study abroad experience. It was an amazing opportunity to be able to connect so deeply and closely with a culture so different than mine. It is a gorgeous and endlessly surprising place. Similarly, although the ISP can sound a bit daunting, it was such an incredible experience for me. I got to immerse myself even more in the local people, customs, and attitudes as well as consider more deeply the kind of work I want to do in the future.
