Option 1: Himachal Pradesh Programme
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 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. 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.
Option 2: Rajasthan Programme
You will be personally met at Delhi airport and transferred to a hotel in Delhi to chill out, relax and refresh. The next day after breakfast you’ll take a train to Jaipur where you have a 3-day orientation while living with a local Indian family. Then it’s off to Shiv, a small town in the Rajasthan desert. It is very hot and dry, however you will have access to all you need. You and your fellow volunteers will stay at our friendly camp.
