  Beschreibung

  Hi, I’m Aditya! I’ve been hosting on Workaway for a while now. I started with a listing in Kunr, a remote village in Chamba, where we worked on farm projects like our kiwi orchard and experimental asafoetida crop. I also manage a homestay there, although it’s quieter and mostly attracts digital nomads looking for longer stays.
  
  These days, I’m focusing more on our homestay in Palampur, which welcomes many more guests. I still visit Chamba and Kunr from time to time, but right now I’m inviting volunteering applications for Palampur.
  
  It’s a fantastic place to stay, right in the heart of the area, making it easy to explore Palampur town as well as Dharamshala, Bir, and other places around the Kangra Valley.
  
  I’m mainly looking for a bit of help around the house-welcoming guests, helping with daily tasks, and contributing to creating a warm and memorable experience for our visitors. Over the years, our volunteers have brought all kinds of wonderful skills and ideas: photography, painting murals, performing music, sharing food and cooking, teaching yoga, and much more.
  
  If you love travelling, meeting people, are enthusiastic, creative, and ready to lend a hand, I’d love to hear from you.
  
  Come experience Palampur, explore the mountains, meet our guests, and hopefully make some great memories along the way!
  
  
  A small request regarding volunteering: Please do not reserve the same volunteering dates with multiple hosts. Once we agree to host a volunteer for specific dates, we keep those dates aside and may turn down other requests. If your plans change, please inform us well in advance whenever possible, so that the opportunity can be offered to someone else. We really appreciate clear communication and respect for each other’s time and commitments.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  By volunteering with us in Palampur, travelers get a rich cultural exchange at the heart of Kangra Valley. Palampur sits between Dharamshala and Bir, offering insights into both the indigenous Kangra culture and the Tibetan refugee community. Here, you can immerse yourself in traditional Kangra art, savor famous local cuisine, and visit pottery schools to learn age-old craft techniques. Plus, being close to Dharamshala, the home of the Dalai Lama, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of Tibetan life in exile. If you’re curious and open to new experiences, you’ll find this region full of learning, from history and spirituality to art and daily mountain life.

  Arbeit

  We’d love to connect with volunteers who enjoy any of the following:
  • Assisting in day-to-day activities at the homestay or in the farm/kitchen garden
  
  • Wall art, graffiti art, or other forms of creative expression
  
  • Social media marketing, photography, videography, or drone cinematography
  
  • Helping with community development initiatives — if you have prior experience in this area, we’d be happy to explore it together. We are open to learning and growing as a community.
  
  • Collaborating with us on small, mindful yoga retreats. We have recently begun working with yoga teachers to create slow, meaningful stays.
  
  If you can fit into any of these roles, you’ll feel right at home here. We value people who are proactive, flexible, and genuinely enjoy creating meaningful experiences.
  
  One of our plans for 2026 includes replacing an old wall art that has faded (as seen in one of the pictures from Kunr village). We hope to create something new that resonates with the local community and inspires young minds , reflecting creativity, culture, and shared values.
  If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!
