Global Routes: Sustainability, Self-Awareness, Arts, and Culture in India Recently Updated

Starting in the rich Hindu area of Rajasthan, students learn about local culture, arts, and sustainability innovations. Then traveling to the Buddhist state of Ladakh in the North, you’ll focus on green energy, green building, and conservation, while learning about Tibetan Buddhism and taking in a short 3-day trek.

Throughout this itinerary, students will learn about Indian culture, religions, architecture, and ecology, gaining hands-on experience in traditional arts, crafts, and sustainability strategies. Traveling between the cultural and chromatic colors in Rajasthan, to Buddhist highlands in the Himalayas, students will experience some of the best India has to offer. The program is for students wanting to volunteer and experience Indian culture side-by-side with locals, rather than through any contrived activities. *No homestays on this program. HIGHLIGHTS Wander local bazaars, temples, and the ancient history of Rajasthan’s castles, culture, and colors! Trek for three days in the Tibetan Buddhist highlands of Ladakh. Volunteer with sustainability projects like Wildlife SOS, SECMOL, and other environmental leaders.
