After the conclusion of another programme with ACS Borderlands would like to thank all the participants for sharing this adventure with us. As part of this final blog post let us listen to Sara's thoughts of the final day outside the city.
"I woke up this morning and my first thoughts were those of intense frustration and anger. I was horrified. I had just spent the night sleeping in a tent with bugs everywhere, sand seeping into my tent, and was awoken by a piercingly loud "caw caw" of a rooster. We had a true camping experience, brushing our teeth in the river and packing up our tents. However, my day picked up significantly because the next thing we did was go rafting. Rafting was definitely a highlight of my trip- it was a little scary but mostly exciting and thrilling. Afterwards, we took an unfortunately long bus ride to Kathmandu but luckily caught up on the sleep we had missed. We looked at the modernity of the city that was so contrasting to the environment we had grown accustomed to and were excited for our new adventure. We then checked into our guest house and showered and the best part was of course the wifi, electricity, and hot water. We then had dinner at a traditional Nepali resteraunt where they performed their cultural dance and we tried the new cuisine. It was an overall interesting day and we are excited to spend a day in the city tomorrow"

After almost a week out of the bustling streets of Kathmandu the students spent their last day and a half in the streets of Thamel shopping to their hearts contempt.
As always it has been a great pleasure to have ACS with Borderlands and we look forward to our next adventure with you all.
