From 29th of August until 13th of September 2026 all Bachelor students can participate in an excursion to Bhutan and Nepal.
The excursion has limited places. Please kindly register your interest with: istb@univie.ac.at. To finally confirm, you will need to enroll in the module 15a once enrollment opens. It will be done based on the prerequisites for the module and then on a first come first served basis. You can enroll here: ufind.univie.ac.at/de/course.html
The module is divided into two seven‑day segments: one in Bhutan emphasizing tantric‑Buddhist traditions of Tibetan imprint, and one in Nepal exploring the Kathmandu Valley’s monuments and practices.
In Bhutan, participants visit major fortresses and temples, pilgrimage sites, monasteries, libraries, and art workshops, complemented by lectures on local history, pilgrimage, scholarship, and the links between religion and politics. In Nepal, students tour the historical cities of Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur, examine architecture and inscriptions, and engage with local cultures and the main religions represented at key pilgrimage sites. Encounters with local cultural groups are planned, and, when feasible, curated activities as dancing, singing, handicrafts, and rituals support exchange.
