From the flowing Ganges River to the powerfully daunting Himalayas, India is a country of splendid scenery and great geographical diversity. Meanwhile, the tiny Himalayan kingdom of Nepal is a panorama of unparalleled beauty and geographical diversity. Only in Nepal can adventure-seeking travelers raft through white waters of the valley's swift rivers, trek along snowy, mountainous trails, or ride through lush foliage on the backs of immense jungle elephants. Global Crossroad's Nepal-India Volunteer Combo program offers volunteers unique, life-altering opportunities of exploring two great destinations of Asia- all-the-while enriching your volunteer abroad experience.
