The project starts with an overnight stay in Delhi. The group spend 3 days in Jaipur for a detailed orientation and sightseeing. After this, you will head to Agra for an over-night stay and visit the Taj Mahal. The next day you will all board an overnight train for Palamphur.
Palamphur is a quaint town set high in the mountains. This is where you will be based for the majority of the programme. You will stay in a large stone house that overlooks a stunning landscape dominated by glaciers and peaks of the Himalayan mountain range.
Free Time & Excursions
When you are not working, you have access to special workshops on aspects of Indian culture for example Indian cooking and Yoga. You can travel to Dharmasala approx 2 hours
bus/taxi ride away, which is home of the Dali Lama and is rich with authentic Tibetan Culture.
There is plenty of free time for reading, relaxing and exploring the local areas. At work or during leisure time, local assistants who serve as guides, translators and overall support staff aid volunteers. There is a small market to purchase food/drink and make international calls within close walking distance to the camp. The nearest town is Palampur, 1.5km from the camp.
We will also arrange excursions that offer different ways to experience the local surroundings.
These include:
- Trekking in the Himalayas
- Over night stay on the Taj Mahal excursion in Agra
- Visit to Amritsar (8 week option only)
Getting There
- Fly to New Delhi airport
- You will be personally met at the airport and taken to a hotel where you will meet the rest of your group.
