We're excited to find someone who can assist us with a range of tasks! These include helping us with some kitchen duties.
In return, we're happy to offer a private room in our home, which will allow you to experience the local culture and lifestyle. Alternatively, you can choose to stay on our farm. You'll be provided with three daily meals consisting of delicious organic food from the desert, camel milk, and mangoes - all of which are a staple in our daily diet.

Activities & Shift

In their free time, volunteers have the opportunity to learn Indian cooking in my kitchen, learn about our local culture and customs, learn to do Henna, join me in my family shopping in the city of Bikaner, learn Hindi, and learn cow milking with me if they wish.
You can join our social gatherings and even attend Hindu weddings with us. Our nearby city of Bikaner(20 Miles), a million populated, historical city, situated on the ancient 'Silk Route' from China to Arabia, presently known as 'a city of one thousand Hawelies(heritage architecture)' has many forts, oasis and so many other beautiful sites and activities worth visiting where we would love to take you to. The exciting life of this city guarantees every opportunity that you look for during your stay.
