Gap Year India

Exciting Possibilities in India!
You could spend your gap year in India enjoying some of its ‘picture postcard’ tropical beaches. For the more energetic, the adventures are end opportunity to trek in the Himalaya Mountains, explore deserts and discover its beautiful flora and fauna. One of the most rewarding type of India gap year projects is to volunteer. A great way to experience local culture is to become a Real Gap India volunteer, meet locals on a more intimate level whilst making a positive contribution at the same time.

A gap year in India is also about experiencing one of the world’s most fascinating and complex cultures and there are numerous ‘must see’ places of interest on an India gap year.

Tip... a great way to experience as much possible on a gap year to India is by travelling on the India expedition – which takes in many of India’s essential sights as well as places you won’t find in most guidebooks.
