PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Combining workshop facilitation in local schools with an exhilarating 5-day trek into the Himalayas, this trip is the perfect choice for adventure seekers wanting to make a meaningful impact in India!

HOW YOU CAN HELP

As a participant on the Himalaya Challenge, you will be working on a range of projects that help improve education quality at our partner schools in Palampur, which could include:

• Running life skills workshops that build children’s confidence and encourage transferable skills like problem solving, conflict resolution, teamwork, career planning and leadership.
• Delivering conversational English lessons that will provide opportunities for further education and well-paying jobs later in life.
• STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths) workshops that encourage experimentation and innovation and help develop children’s creativity.
• Working on a small-scale renovation project, such as painting a mural, to improve learning environments and promote school attendance.

program structure

When you arrive in India you’ll be met by our team at the airport. Over the next few days you’ll have a thorough induction and orientation where you’ll learn about Indian culture and history, get your bearings around town, meet community partners, visit local health facilities and gain a better understanding of the context of the projects you’re working on.

Over two weeks, you’ll take part in your project Monday – Friday with the weekend free to do your own travel and exploring. Your day will usually be structured with a morning session (approx. 3 hours) after breakfast and then a session of the same length after lunch. Your afternoons and evenings will be free for you to relax and explore town or do any required planning for the next day.

On the last day, you’ll either be transported back to the airport or you can join our extension trip tour of the best sites across India!
