Imaging a trip that changes your life....A trip where those who have always wanted to travel to India but have not dared to do so. An expert will accompany you, guide and advise you, with the possibility of enjoying free days to discover, get lost or do what interests you most.
The reality is that the travel offer is limited almost exclusively to organized tourist trips or volunteer experiences. They are two opposite poles and it is difficult to find options that combine responsible tourism and solidarity. It will depend on the traveler, if after the very first contact, feels more deeply involved to continue helping the development and growth of the projects that will be visited during the trip. With your visit you will have total freedom and knowledge to contribute your work in the future for a longer time. Once in the village and in the contribution centers, each traveler can voluntarily contribute what they consider appropriate according to the logistics of the program and their shared moments. |

Your next trip..
Happy Inside Trips are different trips. They are not organized trips because WE ARE NOT A TRAVEL AGENCY.
They are trips to grow and learn to function in a totally unknown and magical country, with the advantage and support of a person specialized in the country who will guide and accompany you. Mariana will be your contact from Costa Rica, who will guide you and answer all your questions. Virginia, founder of the Happy Inside School and a specialized traveler, will meet us at the New Delhi airport together with our driver and we will begin our adventure that will undoubtedly change our lives forever. |

Their way of living and sharing will transport them to an unknown world for many that makes us face ourselves and feel that opening our hearts and putting it at the service of those who need it makes life taste different. * INDEPENDENT ACTIVITIES to perform in leisure time: There will be the possibility of optional activities such as Ayurveda massage, attending a Bollywood cinema in Jaipur, yoga activity, Hindu dance, renting an old Royald Enfield motorcycle, expedition through the Rajasthan desert, attending prayers in the sacred lake Pushkar with a live performance of Tabla, visit the temples with Sadhus, introduction to Vipassana meditation and Kirtan (meditation through Hindu music).

FOUNDER VIRGINIA EXPLAIN YOU MORE DETAILS:
FAQS - 10 IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
|
1. I COULD MAKE THIS TRIP ON MY OWN?
You could do the your journey, but you would never do the same journey. Not only do we take you to the key places to save you a lot of paperwork, but by coming with experts in the country you will access situations and places that you would never have access to yourself as a tourist. 2. HOW DO I KNOW IF THE PRICE OF THE TRIP IS CHEAP OR EXPENSIVE? You can do a research on the internet about the offer of packages or trips to India and you will see that it is the cheapest in the market with the services that are included in the price. In addition, this trip is invaluable due to the dimension and human perspective that is offered to you when traveling accompanied by specialists in the country and they will treat you as if you were locals. 3. I'M GOING TO DO A VOLUNTEERING? No, we are not going to do a volunteer. In 15 days there is no time to volunteer but you will have a first contact with the work of various centers and you will learn about their programs while we travel doing responsible tourism in the country. The way we introduce you to daily life in these centers will allow you to enjoy a very deep exchange so that in the future you can choose your stay with criteria and responsibility. 4. MADE IN TARIFA IS AN ONG? We are not an NGO, we are a project that starts from the work of a single person who one day decided to help within their possibilities and resources. Yes, we are Registered as a non-profit association in Spain, in order to carry out projects we have led in a foreign country such as the reform of the Happy Inside School that took place from January to April 2017. But the work with solidarity trips around the country with a group of solidarity members for 15 days is a totally parallel work whose objective is to introduce people with our same concerns to a special, different and unique trip that will help them to know a culture of 100% immersion at the same time as they visit various projects and help if they wish in the future. The difference between an NGO and us is that on our trips we take you on a route through the country providing quality services by a local agency so that the traveler can feel at home, in addition to visiting not only a project but several centers to have a greater experience and perspective of solidarity in India. 5. WHAT IS THE MONEY I WILL PAY USED FOR? On this trip, the money is used to pay for the management of the logistics of the trip, the material that will be delivered and the included expenses mentioned above that will be incurred during your trip and stay in the country. To do our bit and help in the development of the activities that we will do in the field, a percentage of the registration fee will be allocated to help the families of the Happy Inside School students. 6. WHAT IF I DON'T SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE? Many times it is not necessary to speak to communicate with the heart. You will realize that during the trip a kind of family is born in which we help each other. 95% OF THE PEOPLE IN INDIA SPEAK ENGLISH |
7. HOW WILL OUR JOURNEY HELP THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROJECTS?
Volunteering is not the only way to help. We will help in 3 ways: - Allocating a percentage of the price of your registration to the expenses of the activities in the Happy Inside Village and school - Most importantly, you will visit children and families who have been waiting for you all year and who do not ask for more than your company and your love to give you what little they have with people from other cultures, other countries. Being able to bridge the gap between them and us gives them an invaluable source of learning and growth. It is of enormous human and didactic value that children in marginalized rural areas and centers of special needs can enjoy contact with people who come from other countries. You can generate a human bond so deep and special that it wakes you up to continue helping in the future. In this exchange, many emotions will resonate in you that will make you not only rethink countless personal habits in your daily life but will also make you the best spokesperson for the need and the realities that you have met on your return home. By helping with your presence and your affection, you will be participating in a very pure solidarity exchange. 8. I CAN GO ON OTHER DATES WITH A GROUP OF FRIENDS? As long as there are between 8 to 12 members, we can adjust the dates, the same trip can be organized privately. 9. IT IS MANDATORY TO GET VACCINES AND CARRY TRAVEL INSURANCE? It is mandatory to follow the instructions of a doctor. If you decide not to get vaccinated, you do so at your own risk and being aware of the health risks you assume. In relation to travel insurance, it is absolutely necessary. It is very important to be protected and have good health coverage when traveling abroad. Nothing has to happen, and the normal thing is that it does not happen, but it will give you great peace of mind knowing that you are covered for possible health or other problems that may arise. We work with an insurance company that donates a percentage of the fee to solidarity projects, Solidarity Insurance, but each traveler is free to choose the one that gives him the most confidence. 10. IT IS DANGEROUS? Many travelers have stated that during the trip they have felt safer even than in their countries of origin. I would never take you somewhere that I wouldn't go, not for safety or convenience. Hindus are very friendly and our structure is made up of friends and family who look out for our interests. We do not travel exposing ourselves to any type of risk, on the contrary, both the hotels and the places we take them to are part of a circuit that I have been visiting for more than 10 years. |
