what type of boots or shoes will be best for 7 weeks in the Himalayas?

Hello,

I will be hiking in the Himalayas for about 7 weeks with a school program (see more at this site: http://www.wildlandsstudies.com/16.html ).

I am trying to figure out what type of boots/shoes will be best for the hiking. I only want to brink one pair. I have heard pro's and con's about both over the ankle and under the ankle boots... I am totally out of my league as the only 'shoes' I own are my nike running shoes.

Thanks so much!!!

*Also, I am open to any other advice!
