1 S T A N F O R D T R A V E L / S T U D Y A JOURNEY TO THE ROOFTOP OF THE WORLD October 12 to 25, 2019 a program of the stanford alumni association
2 Although Nepal has been part of the itineraries of many Stanford Travel/Study trips to the region, this brand-new program marks the first time we focus exclusively on this incomparable Himalayan country. Geographically wedged between the conspicuous cultures, take-no-prisoners economies and tourist-weary terrain of India and China, unassuming Nepal is a traveler s delight. With the recovery from the devastating 2015 earthquakes well underway, there s no better time to visit warm and welcoming Nepal with its unique history, its newly progressive politics (Nepal s current president is a woman whose platform emphasizes conservation, sustainable development and LGBT rights) and, of course, its spectacularly dramatic topography. Join us on our newest journey to the world s rooftop! BUDDHA STATUE, DHULIKHEL BRETT S. THOMPSON, 83, DIRECTOR, STANFORD TRAVEL/STUDY Highlights CIRCUMAMBULATE Kathmandu s iconic stupas of Swayambhunath and Boudhanath, two of Buddhism s most sacred pilgrimage sites, with their all-seeing eyes of Buddha. COVER: BOUDHANATH STUPA, KATHMANDU ENJOY a wildlife safari through the jungle of Chitwan National Park, either old-school style from atop an elephant or via a more modern four-wheel-drive vehicle. TAKE an optional, oncein-a-lifetime, flight-seeing tour across the Himalayas, passing within five miles of the tallest mountain in the world revered Mount Everest. MOUNT EVEREST
3 Judy gave some of the best and most thoughtful lectures of any trip we have been on. PEGGY DALAL, ISRAEL: PAST AND PRESENT, 2018 Faculty Leader JUDITH GOLDSTEIN, the Janet Peck Professor of International Communication and professor of political science, has been teaching at Stanford since the early 1980s. She has taught courses on all aspects of international politics, specializing on the requisites for international cooperation on economic affairs. Her current work focuses on the interaction of globalization and politics. In looking at Nepal today, Judith is concerned about the many social and political problems that currently face Nepal. During our trip, her lectures will address how a small country like Nepal can succeed in the world economy, especially given its location between the two behemoths of India and China. She will also pose fundamental questions such as, why is it so hard to maintain a democratic government what do you do about corruption? How can and should Nepal be more involved in the world economy? And what, exactly, do we mean by development? Chair, department of political science, since 2013, and former Kaye University Fellow in Undergraduate Education, Stanford University Senior fellow, by courtesy, Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research and Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies Director, Global Studies Division, Stanford University, Author, co-author and editor of numerous publications on politcal topics, BA, political science, UC-Berkeley MA, international affairs, Columbia University PhD, political science, UCLA S T A N F O R D T R A V E L / S T U D Y SIGN UP ONLINE: alumni.stanford.edu/trip?nepal2019 OR BY PHONE: (650) CHITWAN NATIONAL PARK

Gather for a welcome reception, orientation briefing and welcome dinner at our hotel this evening. HYATT REGENCY (D: 10/14) TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15 KATHMANDU This morning visit Kathmandu s iconic Buddhist stupa (reliquary) of Swayambunath with its all-seeing eyes of Buddha, and Durbar Square, home of one of Nepal s Kumaris, or living goddesses children worshipped by Nepali Hindus as the manifestation of the goddess, Durga. Take a rickshaw ride through the narrow lanes of the Thamel neighborhood and explore Pashupatinath, a World Heritage site whose temple complex is one of Nepal s most sacred Hindu holy places. From the banks of the Bagmati River, observe aarti, a Hindu worship ritual involving the offering of light in the form of flaming diyas (oil lamps) and the singing of devotional songs. Enjoy dinner this evening, joined by a Sherpa who has summited Mount Everest. HYATT REGENCY (B,L,D) WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 16 KATHMANDU / PATAN At dawn, weather permitting, depart for an optional flightseeing tour over the Himalayas. While flying at an altitude of 26,000 feet among the highest peaks in the world, we find ourselves still 3,000 feet below the majestic summit of Mount Everest, whose southern face we pass within five nautical miles. Later in the morning, visit Patan just south of Kathmandu, a center of fine art and culture that is home to the Patan Museum, with its traditional sacred art of Nepal. Pending permission by the local authorities, meet the Kumari of Patan in a private audience. Explore the picturesque Newari villages of Bungamati and Khokana, whose traditions have changed little over the centuries. Bungamati is renowned for its master wood carvers and sculptors and tiny Khokana is famous for its unusual mustard oil harvesting process.

In the afternoon, drive to Devi s Falls, a waterfall on the outskirts of Pokhara, and to the adjacent Gupteshwar Mahadeva Cave, a natural grotto and Hindu pilgrimage site dedicated to the worship of Lord Shiva. TEMPLE TREE RESORT (B,L,D) SUNDAY, OCTOBER 20 POKHARA / CHITWAN NATIONAL PARK Drive southeast from Pokhara this morning, headed for Chitwan National Park. Although Nepal is best known for its mountains, nearly one-quarter of its land area is comprised of the Terai, a lowland plain of wetlands, savannah, forests and grasslands that s home to Chitwan National Park, a 360-square-mile protected area with more than 700 species of wildlife, including leopard, sloth bear, rhinoceros and the elusive Bengal Tiger. Arriving at the park, settle in to our lodge. BARAHI JUNGLE LODGE (B,L,D) MONDAY & TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21 & 22 CHITWAN NATIONAL PARK Spend two full days discovering the riches of Chitwan National Park. Choose from a number of activities, including elephant safaris through the community forest that give us close-up looks at the wildlife, jeep safaris that allow us to track wildlife across the various habitats of the park, boat safaris and canoe rides that ply the waters of the Rapti River as we search for crocodile and other wetland species, nature walks through the jungle and visits to the nearby village. One evening enjoy a cultural performance by local Tharu dancers. BARAHI JUNGLE LODGE (B,L,D BOTH DAYS) WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23 CHITWAN NATIONAL PARK / KATHMANDU Fly back to Kathmandu and, upon arrival, visit the stupa of Boudhanath, a World Heritage site and a bastion of Tibetan culture. Energized by the arrival of thousands of Tibetans after the 1959 Chinese invasion, it has become one of Nepal s most important centers of Tibetan Buddhism. At 130+ feet high, it s the largest stupa in Nepal. Pending availability, enjoy a private audience with a high lama (Tibetan Buddhist spiritual teacher). This evening gather for a farewell reception and dinner at our hotel. HYATT REGENCY (B,L,D) THURSDAY & FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24 & 25 KATHMANDU / U.S. Check out of our hotel this morning and transfer to the airport for flights home, most of which arrive back in the U.S. on Friday.

6 ANNAPURNA RANGE Trip Information DATES October 12 to 25, 2019 (14 days) SIZE 26 participants (single accommodations limited please call for availability) COST* $8,995 per person, double occupancy $10,995 per person, single occupancy *Stanford Alumni Association nonmembers add $300 per person INCLUDED 10 nights of deluxe hotel accommodations 10 breakfasts, 9 lunches and 10 dinners Welcome and farewell cocktail receptions Gratuities to guides and drivers for all group activities All tours as described in the itinerary Transfers and baggage handling on program arrival and departure days Internal flights on 10/18, 10/23 Minimal medical, accident and evacuation insurance Educational program with lecture series and predeparture materials, including recommended reading list, a selected book, map and travel information Services of our professional tour manager to assist you throughout the program NOT INCLUDED International and U.S. domestic airfare Passport and visa fees Immunization costs Meals and beverages other than those specified as included Independent and private transfers Trip-cancellation/interruption and baggage insurance Excess-baggage charges Personal items such as internet access, telephone and fax calls, laundry and gratuities for nongroup services AIR ARRANGEMENTS You are responsible for booking and purchasing airfare to the start location and from the end location of the program. These air purchases are NOT included in the program cost. To assist you in making these independent arrangements, we will send you information with your confirmation materials on when to arrive and depart. WHAT TO EXPECT We consider this to be a moderately strenuous program that is sometimes physically demanding and busy. The itinerary involves spending time at altitudes reaching 4,600 feet. Many days require early-morning starts and motor coach rides can be up to six hours. Daily excursions involve one to three miles of walking, including negotiating steep staircases without handrails, cobbled paths and rocky terrain. In many instances, guided tours require standing in one place for up to an hour, with tours lasting as long as four hours. Few sites have elevators and many do not allow buses to pull up in front, thus requiring a walk of several minutes, sometimes uphill, to reach the entrance. Our optional excursion to the World Peace Pagoda in Pokhara is a 45-minute uphill hike. During our program we travel among destinations by motor coach, van, four-wheel-drive vehicle and commercial aircraft. Open-air safari vehicles are used for the game drives; safaris may last several hours at a time and can be dusty and bumpy. Travel in this region can be time-consuming and unpredictable, requiring unexpected changes to our schedule. Roads can be narrow and unpaved. Participants must be physically fit, active and in good health. Western toilets are not available at all sites and venues so travelers should be prepared to use squat toilets and/or nature s facilities. We expect that participants will be a self-selecting group who are seeking a true adventure and whose interest in the places we visit far outweighs the need for creature comforts. We welcome travelers 15 years or older on this program.
