Sobre el programa

The Program

This project is run by us for construction and renovation challenges where volunteers work in a team alongside local craft people to complete time limited challenges to improve rundown community building, renovate schools and painting walls.

While renovating community houses, the volunteers will work mainly in local child care centers and local schools.

The renovating includes

  • whitening washing the walls
  • colouring the walls
  • writing words on the walls
  • painting pictures and alphabets

The main focus of our work is to improve public facilities by renovating schools and helping to build, paint and decorate where it is needed.

Alongside to this, there is a need to bring attention and awareness to relevant social issues such as good hygiene and health care to help involve and educate villagers at the same time. Materials, which the volunteers need to fulfil this program, are provide by us.

Clothing

India is a very diverse country with cultural and weather fluctuations. It is good to wear decent and comfortable clothes. It not only protects from the extremes of weather, but also protects you from mosquitoes. It is also suggested for the volunteers (especially for female volunteers) not to wear exposing clothes, as it is not preferred in Indian culture.

While going to project sites it is highly recommended that all our participants wear long trousers or pants and round neck t-shirts or shirts, which will help you gain lots of respect in the communities we work in. We also arranged Indian traditional clothes for our female volunteers (salwar kameez) that will cost extra small charges.    

What you should pack

Bring clothes, sleeping bags and sleeping sheets according to the local weather conditions of the project area. Furthermore you will need sunscreen, mosquito repellent, a headlight or a torch, a water bottle, a raincoat or an umbrella for the monsoon season, which is from late July to early September. The cold season is from late October to early March and the summer season is from early April to late June.

We do not provide any toiletries or towels, hence bring some along with your clothes. In case of extra requirements, they can be purchased from nearby markets.

Visa

In order to work as an English language instructor, we strongly recommend a tourist visa, which can be obtained by post from the Indian Embassy/ Indian High Commission in your home country.

Security and health

The volunteers’ security is our first priority! All the volunteer placements sites are perfectly safe. The volunteer house in situated in a safe neighbourhood and comes with a security (night) guard.

First-aid is available in the volunteer house, however any specific medication should be brought along with proper prescription.

Recogida en el aeropuerto Gaggal Airport

To embark on our transformative programs, individuals first journey to Delhi International Airport. From there, the path diverges: a direct flight whisks them to the serene embrace of Gaggal, Dharamshala, or they opt for a scenic Volvo bus ride, winding through the picturesque landscapes toward Dharamshala. Regardless of the chosen route, our team ensures a seamless transition, extending a warm welcome with airport pickups and the reassuring presence of our coordinator throughout the Volvo journey.

Alojamiento

Our large volunteer house in Dharamshala is basic but clean. It is situated in a safe neighbourhood and comes with a security (night) guard. The rooms are provided with bunk beds for four people. All rooms have attached or non-attached bathrooms with a toilet (toilet paper will be provided). The running water in the shower is cold, it will only be heated up during the winter season (late October – early March). A single room can be requested upon availability and with a small extra charge only by couples.


In our volunteer house, the volunteers have access to computers with broadband, a sky TV with English and Hindi channels, a film library and a book library.

Volunteers are responsible for the cost of their own phone call charges.

Comida y bebida

All meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) within the accommodation are native to the region of India and freshly prepared by our house chef. The meals are mostly north Indian curries and traditional Himachali food, so the meals can often be vegetarian. Non vegetarian food is prepared only on special demand and it will charge an extra amount.  

Moreover you can mention your food related allergies and it will be kept in mind while preparing the food.

We have water purification facilities on site that volunteers can use to fill their water bottles.

About Us

Believing in “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”, which implies that the whole world is one family. The aim of launching Dharamshala Volunteering and Travel Solutions is to provide cross culture experience with travel and volunteering opportunities to international volunteers. Dharamshala Volunteering and Travel Solutions works to serve people who are living in rural villages of Dharamshala in the best possible ways. We have previously worked as Pari Volunteerism Services with 9+ years of experience. Our priority is to provide safe volunteering and travelling programs to our volunteers.

The Location

We are working in Dharamshala , the home town of the DALAI LAMA. Dharamshala is situated in north India in the state of Himachal Pradesh. All the programs are arranged by us in rural areas of Dharamshala and our motive and aim is to give education to poor children and decrease the gap between rich and poor people of rural Himachal. All these programs are organized by us in the range of 10 to 25 kms of Dharamshala Town. Volunteers can join our programs for a minimum stay of 2 weeks and a maximum stay of 12 weeks which are running the whole year. Students, volunteers, couples, everyone who wants to enjoy this combination of volunteering and travelling are welcome.

2022 at Renovating of Community Houses

Although it can be terrifying to go to a place by yourself, I felt safe with Mohinder and Avneesh after the first day! I loved the painting in the school, the trips in the car and the food that has ruined my own cooking forever. I will miss the dogs, Mohinder's ringtone, the day and weekend trips ...
