NOLS India Review Fall 2023

I think this program is an excellent mix of being far out in the wilderness combined with a significant and meaningful cultural interaction. It was refreshing to be truly off the grid in a sense where you were isolated to the point of not even seeing other backpackers on the trail for good portions of the trip but at the same time learning about the cultures of India and getting to pass through villages on the trek and interact with them. I think within the NOLS environment this blend was a unique mix and one I didn't appreciate going into things.
