A new innovative way of travel that combines a vacation with service. Imagine being able to leave a vacation destination better then when you arrived. You decide what type of activities you want to experience and how much time you want to spend vacationing, trekking, and volunteering and we will organize the rest.
“History, culture, geography, environment, and the recreation of exploration meet the inspiration of your voluntary efforts in serving a destination and its residents. Body, mind, and soul respond to the awakening of thoughts, feelings, emotions, via a labor of gratitude that is offered as a part of your overall itinerary.
VolunTourism provides you with perspective and balance. You are able to utilize your “six” senses and interact with your destination in ways that had previously existed beyond your capacity of expectation. This is travel that unites your purpose and passion and ignites your enthusiasm in ways unimaginable.”

The price of the trip will vary depending on the tours and treks you decide on, the accommodation that you prefer and the length of your stay.
We understand that Voluntourism attracts people of all ages and income levels. This is also a innovative way of sustaining our projects so a part the total expense will go towards our projects. We are a volunteer based organization so funds go directly to the project.
Send us an email with your budget and we can work out the details.
