Dear Bryn Mawr Alumnae/i, Family, and Friends,

We invite you to join us on an exclusive 15-day small group journey to the distant and devout Himalayan kingdoms of Nepal and Bhutan.

Our tour begins in Kathmandu, where we visit iconic Swayambhunath, then we tour Patan Durbar Square, a UNESCO site. Traveling through the beautiful Kathmandu Valley – home to seven UNESCO sites – we enjoy a small group highlight: lunch in a local family’s home. Revered Boudhanath and Pashupatinath Temple are next. After touring ancient Bhaktapur, travel to hilltop Nagarkot, a village commanding a spectacular Himalayan vista. Next is Thimphu, Bhutan, where we tour the city and enjoy a home-hosted dinner. We raise prayer flags at Dochula Pass, take an exhilarating river rafting trip, and tour historic Paro. Our tour concludes with a final highlight: a visit to the sacred cliffside Tiger’s Nest Monastery.

Space on this exclusive, air-inclusive tour for Bryn Mawr is limited to just 18 guests, and the tour will be accompanied by Professor Marc Schulz, the Rachel C. Hale Chair in the Sciences and Mathematics and the Chair of the Department of Psychology at Bryn Mawr College. We anticipate that space will fill quickly; your early reservations are encouraged.

Warm regards,

Saskia Subramanian ’88 President, Bryn Mawr College Alumnae Association

Day 1: Depart U.S. for Kathmandu, Nepal

Day 2: Arrive Kathmandu Today we reach Kath-mandu, Nepal’s capital and largest city. After meeting our tour director, we transfer to our hotel. As guests’ arrival times may vary, we have no group activities or meals planned.

Day 3: Kathmandu This morning we meet our fellow travelers and tour director for a briefing about the journey ahead. Nestled high in the storied Himalayas, Nepal contains eight of the world’s ten highest mountains, including majestic Everest. We get our first look at this landlocked Himalayan nation in Durbar Square, a jumble of ancient temples, palaces, courtyards, and streets. Next we visit hilltop Sway-ambhunath, the iconic Buddhist temple dating to about 500 bce. A 365-step climb brings us to the sacred UNESCO stupa, with its white dome, gilded spire, and all-seeing “eyes” of the Buddha. This afternoon we travel through Kathmandu Valley to Patan, Nepal’s third largest city known for its rich culture and artistic tradition. On a walking tour through the UNESCO site of Patan Durbar Square, we see some of the city’s many Buddhist monuments and Hindu temples. Late afternoon we return to our hotel, where tonight we enjoy a welcome dinner. B,D

Day 4: Kathmandu Today we see different aspects of Nepali life up close. First, we travel through the beautiful Kathmandu Valley to hilltop Kopan Monastery, home to 360 monks and lamas. With majestic views of the valley below, the monastery and associated nun- nery welcome seekers and visitors to study, meditate, and learn about the Mahayana Buddhism practiced here. After our visit we enjoy a small group highlight as we share lunch with a local family in their home. Later we visit Shechen Clinic and Hospice, a human- itarian project that provides sustainable medical services to local residents. Then we tour Boudhanath, a UNESCO site and Nepal’s largest and most impor-tant Buddhist stupa. With its massive mandala and huge white dome, 15th-century Boudhanath draws millions of religious devotees, seekers, and tourists. Tonight we enjoy dinner at a local restaurant. B,L,D

Himalayan Kingdoms: nepal & BHutan15 days from $6,072 total price from Boston, New York, Wash, DC($5,395 air & land inclusive plus $677 airline taxes and fees)

O n this exhilarating journey, we discover two distant and devout lands, different in fact yet similar in spirit. Hinduism in Nepal and Buddhism in Bhutan suffuse

all aspects of life; in both, tradition and belief abide – and surrounding Himalayan scenery casts a truly awe-inspiring spell.

Tour membership limited to 18 alumnae/i and friends of Bryn Mawr College

Day 5: Kathmandu/Nagarkot Leaving Kathmandu today, we stop at Nepal’s oldest and holiest Hindu shrine, ornate Pashupatinath Temple. At this UNESCO site we see sadhus and sages who, in following the lifestyle of Lord Shiva, wear loincloths and cover themselves with ashes. We also may witness cremation ceremonies along the river banks; displaying appropriate respect to the mourners is requested of all visitors. Traveling on, we reach Bhaktapur, another UNESCO site and the least developed of the valley’s three cities. Virtually a living open-air museum with its unspoiled ancient square and warrens of medieval streets, Bhaktapur is known for its fine artisans and many temples. We have time to explore then continue the scenic drive to Nagarkot, a hilltop village commanding a spectacular vista of Nepal’s major Himalayan peaks. B,L

Day 6: Nagarkot Early this morning we have an opportunity for an unforgettable experience: watching the sun rise over the fabled Himalaya from the hotel’s rooftop observatory. When Kathmandu Valley below is obscured by cloud cover, Nagarkot feels like an island amid an ocean of clouds. Later, we embark on an easy walk around the village, where we have the chance to meet local people. The remainder of the day is at leisure amid the stunning Himalayan scenery. B,D Day 7: Nagarkot/Kathmandu/Thimphu, Bhutan We have another chance to see the sun rise over the peaks sacred in both Buddhism and Hinduism. Then we return to Kathmandu for the flight to Bhutan. Upon arrival in the Dragon Kingdom, we travel to the capital of Thimphu and our hotel, where we dine tonight. B,D

Day 8: Thimphu Today’s excursion begins at a local factory where paper is made by hand in the traditional way, followed by the Textile Museum, housing exquisite weavings from the 16th century to modern times. Later

We climb to Tiger’s Nest Monastery on Day 13.

we visit Tashichho Dzong, the historic fortress and monastery that today houses temples and government offices, including those of the king; then Memorial Chorten, one of Bhutan’s best-loved religious landmarks. Tonight we attend a Bhutanese cultural performance then dine in the home of a local family. B,L,D

Day 9: Thimphu/Punakha En route to Punakha today, we visit Kunselphodrang, the recently built Buddha Point where the world’s largest sitting Buddha presides over the Thimphu valley. Then we set out for Punakha via Dochula Pass (alt. 10,000 feet), which offers views of snow-topped Himalayan peaks and where we follow the sacred tradition of raising prayer flags in the name of peace and compassion. We eat lunch here then continue on our way, stopping to visit a local rice farming village. Next: Chimi Lhakhang, the temple built by the “Divine Madman” in 1499, now a pilgrimage site for couples struggling with in- fertility. Late this afternoon we reach Punakha, which sits at the confluence of the Mo Chu (“Mother”) and Pho Chu (“Father”) rivers in a sub-tropical valley. B,L,D

Day 10: Punakha We embark this morning on an exhilarating rafting trip on the Mo Chu River. This afternoon we visit Punakha Dzong, winter home of the central monastic community and one of the country’s most attractive fortress monasteries, set on a spit of land where the rivers meet. B,L,D

Day 11: Punakha/Thimphu/Paro We set out early to see more of Thimphu, including the National Library, with an immense collection of Buddhist man- uscripts; and the Painting School, where students learn traditional Bhutanese arts. Late afternoon we depart for Paro, nestled in the center of a valley dotted with rice paddies, wheat fields, and scattered settlements. B,L,D

Day 12: Paro We begin our tour of this historic town at Ta-Dzong, the national museum showcasing Bhutan’s rich cultural heritage dating from at least 2000 bce to the present day; then Rinpung Dzong, a superb example of Bhutanese architecture. After lunch we visit the sacred 7th-century pilgrimage temple of Kyichu Lhakhang, and the ruins of Druk-gyel Dzong, a 17th-century victory fortress. B,L,D

Day 13: Paro/Tiger’s Nest Monastery Today we embark on a highlight of any trip to Bhutan: a visit to Paro Taktsang, the sa-cred Tiger’s Nest monastery and temple complex perched on a cliff some 3,000 feet above the upper Paro Valley – itself at an altitude of 10,200 feet (rental

horses are available to take visitors about two-thirds of the way). We embark on our scenic uphill hike early this morning. Those not wishing to climb all the way up can enjoy excellent views of Tiger’s Nest from a waystation cafeteria. Late afternoon we return to our hotel, where tonight we celebrate at a farewell dinner. B,L,D

Day 14: Paro/Kathmandu, Nepal/Depart for U.S. We fly this morning to Kathmandu, where we have day rooms and opportunities for exploring on our own, before our mid-afternoon departure for the airport and our overnight flights to the U.S. B,L

Day 15: Arrive U.S. We arrive in the U.S. and connect with our flights home.
