Volunteering in India
Extending from the crisp mountain peaks of the Himalayas to the lush rainforests of Kerala, and from the sands of the Thar Desert to the waters of the sacred Ganges; travelling from the north of India to the south may seem like journeying across a great number of different countries. India brims over with diversity and charm, holding a wealth of exquisite palaces; majestic forts; ancient temples; and vibrant cities filled with marvellous characters of different faiths, the smell of cooking spices and the sound of film music.
Visit the famed Taj Mahal in the moonlight, relax on the beaches of Goa in the sunshine, try and spot a tiger in the rainforest, or trek through the Himalayas in the snow; no matter where you go in India, volunteering here will alter the way you see the world. Full of jarring juxtapositions and encompassing incomparable multiplicity, India is a must-see destination for anyone who wants volunteer work of the extraordinary variety.
