Why take part in volunteer work in India?

In the midst of the 21st century, the land of inspiring figures such as Buddha and Gandhi still maintains its colors and mysticism, motivating trips that go far beyond mundane tourist excursions. Volunteer programs in India seek help for children without basic education, animals without shelter or farmers in poverty. Volunteer work in India is warmly welcomed all year round, even for a short period of time.

Wondering if India should be your next destination?

Traveling will ruin your life — but that's not necessarily a bad thing

How to become a volunteer in India?

First of all, run away from agencies that require volunteers to pay high fees! You can find volunteer projects in India for a reasonable price here at Worldpackers. With a membership that lasts for a whole year, you can embark on a very special journey to volunteer in India, meet the locals, learn from them and discover Indian culture! Even for a short period, you can do social work in India like teaching English or environmental conservation, helping a school, NGO, or working in a rural settlement.
