modeled around cultural, spiritual, and environmental exploration. Throughout the experience, students have the opportunity to reside in homestays, interact with local guides and visit cultural and religious sites to provide situations ripe for gaining unique cultural perspectives and personal growth. Special teachings on Buddhism, Hinduism, and Tibetan practices in Nepal will be used to prepare students for their pilgrimages to spiritually significant sites, such as Serang Gompa, Devi Ghat, Boudhanath, and Pashupatinath. Students will learn about personal strength through physical and mental growth, and by opening themselves to new ways of thinking and learning as they participate in the pilgrimages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"heavy-man\">Locations<\/p>\n<p>The expeditions will take place in two world-class environments that provide a unique opportunity to compare self-support backpacking and teahouse trekking on the same expedition: the Manaslu Circuit (with special emphasis on the Nubri Valley) and the Great Upper Himalayan Trail. The rafting takes place on the stunning Class III Lower Kaligandhaki River. With exciting white water rapids, spectacular mountain views, traditional villages, waterfalls, jungle corridor rich in wildlife, deep gorges, temples, and beautiful white sandy beaches for camp, we consider this to be one of the best all-round river adventures in Nepal. Time spent in the cities of Kathmandu and Pokhara will allow for the exploration of bazaars, temples, and the unique urban settings of Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kkrcnr5n-6-070b2a2493bda31af6d1120dcfc0e443\">\n.avia-image-container.av-kkrcnr5n-6-070b2a2493bda31af6d1120dcfc0e443 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-kkrcnr5n-6-070b2a2493bda31af6d1120dcfc0e443 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-kkrcnr5n-6-070b2a2493bda31af6d1120dcfc0e443 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/02\/Nepal-Map-Your-Journey-Through-the-Himalayas-OAL-Expeditions-SOU.webp 816w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/02\/Nepal-Map-Your-Journey-Through-the-Himalayas-OAL-Expeditions-SOU-300x149.webp 300w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/02\/Nepal-Map-Your-Journey-Through-the-Himalayas-OAL-Expeditions-SOU-768x381.webp 768w,https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/02\/Nepal-Map-Your-Journey-Through-the-Himalayas-OAL-Expeditions-SOU-705x350.webp 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 816px) 100vw, 816px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/02\/Nepal-Map-Your-Journey-Through-the-Himalayas-OAL-Expeditions-SOU.jpg\" height=\"405\" width=\"816\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/02\/Nepal-Map-Your-Journey-Through-the-Himalayas-OAL-Expeditions-SOU.jpg 816w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/02\/Nepal-Map-Your-Journey-Through-the-Himalayas-OAL-Expeditions-SOU-300x149.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/02\/Nepal-Map-Your-Journey-Through-the-Himalayas-OAL-Expeditions-SOU-768x381.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/02\/Nepal-Map-Your-Journey-Through-the-Himalayas-OAL-Expeditions-SOU-705x350.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 816px) 100vw, 816px\" class=\"wp-image-77019 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-77019 avia_image  sp-no-webp\" alt=\"epal Map Your Journey Through the Himalayas OAL Expedition SOU\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  > <\/picture><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-kisfwqsi-5-545f41315acdf80befe8fd24c5b96f4e '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p class=\"heavy-man\">Civic Engagement<\/p>\n<p>The engagement project includes working alongside local healthcare workers that are stationed along our hiking and rafting expedition routes.
