Volunteering at Altitude Moksha in Himalayas

We at Altitude Moksha have been working towards educating farmers of Dhar region to grow herbs and exotic vegetables which would help them earn better than the usual crops of rice, wheat and millets out of the small land holdings they hold and thus become self-reliant. Altitude Moksha has been instrumental in introducing concepts of permaculture in the region. This is the first of its kind endeavour in North India. In addition, we have also been helping the farmers build low-cost water storage facilities out of earthbags.

Another first is the introduction of eco/agro/rural tourism in the area, which has further improved the financial prospects of the local community which has resulted in reversing the long-standing trend of youth migration from the hilly areas. The herbs that we are growing currently are French Rosemary, Italian Rosemary, Lavender, Nepeta, European Dandelion, English Thyme, Oregano to name a few.
