Start your volunteering journey with a visit to Narara Marine National Park, a unique park dedicated to the conservation of marine life. You can participate in beach clean-up activities, observe the mangroves, and help monitor the nesting sites of olive ridley sea turtles. Don't forget to bring comfortable shoes and sun protection.
Head to Balachadi Beach for a day of volunteering with the local fishing community. Learn about their sustainable fishing practices and help with tasks such as sorting and cleaning fish, and repairing nets or boats. You'll gain a better understanding of the challenges faced by local fishermen and their commitment to protecting the ocean.
End your volunteering trip with a visit to BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, a stunning temple with intricate carvings and details. Participate in their community service activities such as serving food to the devotees, cleaning the surroundings, and helping maintain the temple's garden. You'll gain insights into the culture and values of the local community.
For more volunteer work or additional activities, consider adding a visit to Bhujangra Fort or Lakhota Palace and Museum to your itinerary. If your trip is shorter, prioritize one or two activities from the itinerary. Remember to check the weather, as activities with marine life depend on favorable weather conditions.
