India is the seventh largest country by geographical area, the second most populous country. Islam, Christianity, Judaism and Zoroastrianism arrived in the first millennium CE and shaped the region's diverse culture. A pluralistic, multi-lingual, and multi-ethnic society, India is also home to a diversity of wildlife in a variety of protected habitats. It has managed to preserve established traditions while absorbing new customs, traditions, and ideas from invaders and immigrants.

Volunteers can organize different possible excursions during and after the project to visit places of interest. There is a tourist infrastructure already in place the volunteer can use during weekends. For example: camel rides, jeep safaris, bazaars, markets, restaurants, kite flying, temples, museums, palaces, hotels, and many more.
