Cas Trips Nepal
Nepal’s Himalayan magic begins with Annapurna sunrise views and ends with butter lamp-lit Buddhist monasteries. Students can challenge themselves on village-to-village treks through rhododendron forests, whitewater raft the Trisuli River, and spot rhinos from Chitwan’s elephant-back safaris. Spiritual encounters range from morning prayers with crimson-robed monks to meditating in cave temples where Sadhus chant mantras.
