High on the “Roof of the World” the sun shines brighter than anywhere else, and the harsh realities of the climate shape the character of the people and the ways in which they pass their days.  Students on Dragons Himalaya programs marvel at their natural and cultural surroundings, living and studying beneath the tallest peaks in the world in communities where religion pulses through all aspects of life.  Whether on a “highland” Himalaya program in Tibet or Northwest India, or a “lowland” Himalaya program in Nepal or the Indian state of Sikkim, Dragons adventurers in this mystical and remote region relish in culturally-intimate group and solo interactions, profound self-exploration and cultivation, and some of the greatest trekking on Earth.
      
Dragons Himalaya students are intellectuals, philosophers, and seekers; they are curious students with a desire to shape their own spirituality and world-view with elements of kindness and tolerance.  More than anything, they are accepting of challenge and inspired by adventure.
