Rajasthan cycling holiday

At the beginning of every India trip, our Company gives a jute carry bag made by the children of Karm Marg to each of our passengers. Karm Marg was set up to provide shelter, educate, feed, treat medically, counsel and offer vocational training to the children living on the platforms of New Delhi Railway Station. While living on the station, most are involved in activities like rag-picking, begging, picking pockets, drug peddling and other questionable activites. The objective of Karm Marg is to provide a loving and healthy environment for their childhood and avenues towards self-sustenance with confidence and dignity.

One of the major organisations we support in India is Deepalaya. Through Deepalaya, our Company are currently sponsoring a number of children in the slums of South Delhi to complete their schooling, an opportunity they would otherwise not be able to afford. Since 1990, the support of this organisation has enabled thousands of children to receive quality education and become professionally qualified in such jobs as teachers and technicians.

In a country where so many ethnic communities live together, it’s important to respect individual religious beliefs. Our Company wants to promote this understanding through insight into religious and cultural practices. Our leaders will take you into temples, mosques, shrines and gurudwaras where appropriate, and are able to teach the group about the etiquette and customs specific to the place visited, enabling a deeper understanding for the group of the communities and cultures encountered in India.

At the end of our journey travellers may donate any unwanted clothing, medicines and bandages, which are distributed to a group called Goonj. This organisation is a nationwide movement that provides help to remote villages in Assam, Bihar, Orissa, West Bengal, Uttaranchal and wherever the demand arises or disaster forces people to look for support.
