Volunteer in and Explore India!

Explore India While Volunteering Abroad with IFRE!

You’re headed to India to make the world a better place, but you’ll definitely want to get out and explore this exciting destination while you’re here. You’ll be spending about 4-6 hours a day working at your India volunteer project, so that leaves your evenings and weekends free. Make the most of it!

Our volunteer projects are located in the cities of Delhi and Jaipur. The capital city of Delhi is a study in contrasts, where the modern pulse of the city crowds against the iconic buildings and ruins that speak to its rich history. Jaipur is known as the Pink City and has a wealth of cultural and historical opportunities for you to explore.

Weekend Exploration

Weekends are the perfect opportunity for you to take off from India volunteer work, discover new areas and travel around India. This exceptionally diverse country has various landmarks and attractions for you to visit and enjoy.

Experience India’s rich mix of traditions, spiritual beliefs, festivals, architecture and landscapes for a once-in-a-lifetime travel experience! Here are some hotspots not to miss:

Taj Mahal

This world-famous structure is a must-see attraction on your India volunteer trip. This exquisite marble structure in Agra, Delhi is one of the beautiful structures ever created. You will get to observe its marble domes, two red sandstone buildings, and lush gardens, with an enormous reflecting pool.

City Palace

This gem is an impressive complex of courtyards, gardens and buildings. It is a striking blend of Rajasthan and Mughal architecture.

The Amber Fort

This magnificent royal fort is built from pale yellow pinkish sandstone and white marble. Upon entering, you’ll see Suraj pol, (Sun Gate), Jaleb Chowk (main courtyard), Chand Pol (moon gate), small Siladevi temple, Jai Mandir and Zenana (secluded women’s quarters).

Sun Temple

Another great attraction to visit while volunteering in India, this is a massive temple of the Hindus built in the mid 13th century. The temple resembles the cosmic chariot and is positioned in a manner that its light would illuminate both the temple sanctuary interior and the presiding deity and is a sight to behold.

Other interesting places to visit during your weekend are:

Visit Brihadishwara Temple to observe the crowning glory of Chola temple architecture

Visit the religious Golden Temple of the Sikh community to bathe in its sacred waters
