Experience a Hidden India

5 February 2026

Live in the foothills of the Himalayas experiencing a traditional Lepcha way of life

A fantastic experience. Unforgettable and highly recommended…. being immersed in the culture and meeting lots of different people was amazing.

Georgie, Gap Year Program

I loved meeting and integrating with the local community through the teaching, building, transport and playing football with the local children and adults.

At Africa & Asia Venture (AV) we believe in a different type of gap year travel.

Where there’s adventure and excitement but also where you find your second home.
Where you don’t just look at the scenery, you become part of the community.
It’s more than travel.
It’s a different way to see the world.

Final week in Kenya 🇰🇪 

These are just a few highlights from our Kenya AVs over the last week. There's been another birthday, the end of Ramadan, finishing touches to the refurb projects at school, and much more. 

There's still time to secure your place in Kenya from 5 June. Head to the link in our bio.

Our first piece of advice for our volunteers is DON'T OVERPACK! Bring only the essentials - you can easily find anything else you need in-country.

You will have the opportunity to shop affordably in local markets and purchase clothing that will help you immerse yourself in the community. If you're heading to Kenya, you'll return with an array of items made from Kikoys, and in India, you'll be heading straight to a tailor for a made to measure Salwar Kameez.
