Beyond the placement

Experience India

What draws people to India is its rich cultural heritage, world-famous landmarks like the Taj Mahal, colourful festivals and a unique food culture. The country offers an intense blend of ancient history and hugely varied landscapes — and we help you discover it alongside your placement.

Individually tailored

Every group is different

Together we shape a programme of weekend trips, cultural visits and encounters that fits your interests, budget and length of stay — always with local hosts and our coordinator close by.
