Volunteer Travel in India
Traveling down the length of India could seem more like crossing a continent than a country. From the mountain peaks of the Himalayas, across the sands of the Thar Desert, through the myriad waterways of the sacred Ganges and into the enclosing lushness of Keralas rainforest Indias diversity and majesty provides more potential experience for anyone wishing to volunteer overseas than many other countries put together. A rich and visible history seen in majestic palaces, grand forts and ancient temples sits comfortably alongside burgeoning, modern cities and a canvas of diverse faiths, rich-smelling spices and the infectious sound of filmi music.
Enjoy the celebrated Taj Mahal by moonlight, doze in the sun on the beaches of Goa, look for tigers in the rainforest or join expeditions across the snow of the Himalayas; volunteer travel in India will be a life-changing experience.
