i-to-iGap Year in India
India is so huge, so full of opportunity and such a fantastic travel destination, that you could quite easily spend your entire gap year in India. It has everything a traveller could wish for: varied and vibrant cultures, stunning scenery, snow-capped mountains, lush jungles, the world’s best railway system, the party resorts of Goa and some of the world’s greatest cities.
By choosing to take your gap year in India with i-to-i, you will gain a unique understanding of this beguiling sub-continent. You will work alongside local people, live as a member of the local community and make a positive contribution to the lives of the Indian friends you make on your travels.
We have opportunities to get involved with volunteer projects across the country from teaching English in the modern metropolis of Bangalore to community work with homeless people and street kids in Delhi or even working with a community theatre group in the ‘pink city’ of Jaipur.
