Sitting on the lap of the Himalayas with Tibetan influences, it’s hard to believe that this region is a part of India. Free from the dust, crowd and heat synonymous of India, the region is steeped in colorful Indian history and culture. Lying on the foothills of the Himalayas is Palampur and Dharamsala, cities which are worlds away from the hustle and bustle of Delhi. Imagine scenic snow-capped mountains, lush hills and charming tea gardens. The local population have benefited from recent developments due to opening up of tea gardens, a boost in tourism and infrastructure improvement. However, compared to other parts of fast-developing India, the majority of the population still struggle to make ends meet. Volunteer in the India Himalayan region, and help alleviate problems of poverty while experiencing a truly different side of India. Drop us a note for more details!

By doing a quick internet search, you will find that many international volunteer abroad companies are charging as high as $2,500 for just a two-week volunteer program. The unfortunate truth is that most of these companies keep a large portion of your program fees as profit, and very little money ends up at the destination. However, with our low volunteer abroad program fees, not only will you be able to save thousands of dollars, your money will go where it is most needed, that is, for you, to your host families, and your projects. With the exception of our registration fee of $279, which we require for advertising, and to cover daily office expenses and staff salaries, we guarantee that your program fees go directly to the projects and host families. 

Here you’ll find the world’s most affordable weekly program fees.

Our host families have been carefully screened and chosen and they will have experience of hosting international volunteers before. The host families will provide you with a warm, comfortable and secure place to stay. You’ll have a room to yourself and eat 3 local meals together with your host family. At least one member of the host family will be able to communicate with you in English.
