.Here are the rules.

If you have a valid visa, you don't have to apply again.

You do not have to get a new I-20. You have to get your International Student Advisor to sign on your I-20 (the last page where it wants their signature as a proof that they are allowing you to get out of the US and come back again).

BUT, I would suggest you to not take a semester break. If you're really that homesick, then go to Nepal during winter or summer break. Taking a semester break may cause un-intended complications regarding immigration and other things. Do you really want to take those chances?
