    Overview

    Kochi, Mysuru, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Udaipur, Jaipur, Jodhpur, New Delhi, Amritsar & Varanasi

    Discover the wonders of India and join us this spring on our transformative 6-week Gap Year course in India. This is enchanting course of great academic and experiential value, a way to discover India from North to South from Kerala to Uttar Pradesh through such varied landscapes, cultures, religions and visiting cities of significant cultural difference.

    AHA aims to provide an unrivaled and safe introduction to India and a method of exploration that will last a lifetime.

    Art is a wonderful way to explore culture, being deeply connected to history, religions, the environment. We prefer a practical approach, that informs our students for the future exploring politics, colonialism, sustainability, religion, Bollywood, economics.
    We will actively engage in traditional Indian crafts and practices such as dance, miniature art, cooking, yoga.

    While India is a popular destination for adventurous gap year students, many return with only personal experiences and limited understanding of Indian culture and its significance in the modern world. With AHA, you’ll delve into India’s rich history, diverse religions, and stunning landscapes. But you won’t just be an observer; you’ll actively engage in traditional Indian crafts and practices, including beadwork, dance, and cooking.

    What We Explore

    Our course seeks to expand your intellectual horizons by examining India through diverse lenses, including art, architecture, sculpture, sustainability, agriculture, flora and fauna, religion, politics, medicine, technology, and Bollywood. We will also delve into themes of nature and sustainability, with a particular focus on water. Highlights include visits to the Earth University in Dehradun and insights from influential thinkers like Vandana Shiva.

    Our Methods

    Our exceptional AHA tutors will be joined by trusted local experts to create a comprehensive learning experience, featuring university lecturers and a selection of guest speakers from renowned Indian institutions.
