Descripción:
Located in the central part of the state of Karnataka, in the southern part of India, Hampi is definitely one of the most interesting travel destinations on the map of India. It is famous for its ruins belonging to the erstwhile medieval Hindu kingdom of Vijaynagar, now declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. The temples of Hampi, its monolithic sculptures and monuments are breath-taking. The Hindu style of architecture found at Hampi speaks of the splendour of the Vijaynagar Empire.Work camps in Hampi will primarily concentrate on protection of the cultural heritage and the sites of historical importance and on creating awareness among the locals, school children, tour guides and the tourists. The volunteers will be involved in cleaning the heritage surroundings, planting trees, thereby converting dry areas into beautiful spots for an eye to rest on. The work will include some physical work and will require a lot of creativity and motivation from the volunteers to convey the message through dramas, plays, puppet shows and other creative arts.
Accommodation: In a rented Guest house or Hostel, with shared rooms. Accommodation can vary a lot in our camps from youth hostels, guest houses, lodges etc. The accommodation will be simple but comfortable and clean, so be prepared to live a simple lifestyle during these two weeks. Food: Indian food will be provided for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Filtered water is always available for drinking purposes.

To promote intercultural learning, the team leaders will arrange visits to places of interest, weddings, festivals, local house visits, interaction with local youth etc. The local community would be more than happy to welcome you.
