Insight Vacations has launched a new voluntourism extension in India through partners ME to WE, allowing guests the opportunity to spend time in a community in rural Rajasthan. Here they will work on building projects and learn about sustainable agriculture practices, traditional crafts and daily life in the hills and farmland of India through the personal stories of the men and women living there. Accommodation is in the Araveli Cottages and Tented Camp and the itinerary allows for a sunrise yoga session and a nature walk through the hills of the Aravalli mountain range. This new extension supports Insight’s commitment to sustaining the environments and cultures in which it operates, through the TreadRight Foundation (www.treadright.org), a joint initiative between TTC’s (The Travel Corporation) family of brands.
