Travel India

India Highlights
If you travel to India you could – just a few highlights - explore the deserts of Rajasthan, trek in the Himalayas and laze on Goa’s idyllic tropical beaches and visit the Taj Mahal! Travelling in India isn’t always straight forward (in fact travelling in India can be challenging at times!) but it’s an utterly engaging country with a unique and fascinating culture quite unlike our own.

On a budget?
A practical advantage of travelling on an gap year in India is the fact that the cost of living is incredibly low compared to most other countries. (your money will go further, so stay for longer!). The downside of this fact is that India is a country which suffers from more than its fair share of poverty and hardship.

Help out in India
So, with this in mind an excellent way to travel to India is as a volunteer on one of Real Gap’s diverse range of rewarding voluntary work abroad. Make a difference while you Travel India.

Tip... browse the list below for the fantasic range of India projects... (Himachal and Rajasthan are very popular)
