India, a vast and diverse country in South Asia, is home to over 1.4 billion people, making it one of the world’s most populous nations. Known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and dynamic landscapes, India offers an incredible opportunity for growth and exploration. We have the opportunity to work in various educational avenues, including tuition centers, teaching English, and supporting non-profits in their daily work. In addition to this, a significant part of our time in India is spent connecting with locals from diverse religious and economic backgrounds. We meet with them in their homes, enjoy a meal together, play a game of cards, or explore significant parts of India alongside them.
From busy religious centers to beautiful rural villages, your Pack Your Bags year exploring India will allow you to gain a broader understanding of diverse cultures, traditions, and ways of life. Whether you are assisting in classrooms, meeting locals, or discovering the rich heritage of India’s landmarks, this track will leave you with lasting memories and a deeper appreciation for the country and its people.
