If you want to discover one of the most interesting and diverse cultures in India, you've come to the right place. Krishna Rajan and Karan were the best hosts I could ask for, and are now friends for life. We learned about village traditions, met many locals, and took part in spiritual ceremonies. Every day was a new adventure, and I learned something from every moment. I can't thank them enough — the most meaningful experience I've had in India, even after just one week of volunteering!

My time at Krishna's project was absolutely amazing! The village is beautiful, incredibly lively, and full of colors—a perfect place to experience the real, authentic charm of rural India. Krishna and his family are wonderful, warm, and generous hosts. The food was delicious, always fresh, and prepared with so much care every day. The accommodation was great, very comfortable, and the room was always cool thanks to a perfectly working fan. It was a beautiful cultural exchange, sharing meals and great conversations together. I highly recommend this volunteering project.

Krishna was a perfect host. He helped me really immerse myself into the village and the culture of where he and his family lived. I really appreciated my time with Krishna, opened my eyes to a way of living I had no experience with.
What I enjoyed most was how keen Krishna was to involve me in the local happenings in the village, my favourite was we attended a wedding on my second day.
I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking to immerse themselves into Gujarat culture.
My only comment is to check the weather before coming! Very hot in May.

Krishnabhai came to greet me and take me, and I got to learn a lot from the Gujarati family, and in Krishnabhai's farm, we were also introduced to how farming is done and how vegetables are grown, and I also got a chance to meet the people of the village and I got a chance to know how the people here live, Krishnabhai was very helpful to me and also took me to the wedding of his Gujarati family and made me familiar with the customs here, if you come with Krishnabhai and his family, you will learn a lot and you will feel respected and like a family, you will have a lot of experience there
