Favorite moment from Pitzer Nepal program: There are so many favorite memories, but if I have to choose one then it is fall 2008 when we were on a trek to Tanting village. It is a Gurung (one of the ethnic groups) village, located just outside of Pokhara, in the lap of the Annapurna Mountains. We started our trek from Begnas Lake, near Pokhara. We did 2 hours of language class on the way under a tree and students really enjoyed the class in nature. We arrived at the camping site around 4:00pm and the view was mesmerizing. To the north we could see a beautiful range of the Annapurna Mountains and to the south there was Begnas Lake. It was my first time setting up a tent and I asked the students to help me. After the camp was set up we had our dinner together and chatted about the day. The view around the Begnas Lake was amazing at night. I felt as if I was above the stars looking down at the light of village below. These kinds of moments on the Pitzer in Nepal program are unforgettable.
