Answer: I seem to get asked this by different students about once a month. We have started the tradition of hosting a student tour every four years – for many of us it takes that long between trips to save enough money to go again.
We went in 2007 and 2011, so our next trip will be in 2015, probably in the fall and probably lasting about two weeks. That gives you two years to save up if you haven’t started already — the likely all-inclusive cost will be around $3,500 to $4,000. And yes, we’re still hoping to add a few days in Tibet to the upcoming trip’s itinerary!
