University of Waterloo: Hiking the Himalayas
Hiking the Himalayas: How’s this for a field trip? Seventeen lucky geography students at Waterloo take the trip of a lifetime to Nepal to hike through the Himalayas en route to Mount Everest Base Camp. Through tiny villages and by bush planes, learning about geomorphology as they go, students hike through national parks and camp in tents in remote communities by gorgeous glacial lakes. Sure puts your Grade 9 day at the library in perspective.
