Question 1

Why should I travel with The Tarzan Way?

Accepted Answer

Culturally immersive: Our vision is to provide culturally immersive experience to travellers.
India is one of the most a culturally diverse nations out there spread over 29 states with 22
languages, over 700 dialects and 9 religions, visiting this country without exploring this diversity
is no less than a crime.
We have crafted our Social Travel Experiences in a manner to ensure that all the participants get
to explore the diverse culture through various immersive activities, trips and sessions.
Community-driven: The goal of our Social Travel Experiences is to provide meaningful
volunteer work to our volunteers. We do so by working with impactful NGOs and making sure
the job roles allotted to the participants are as goal driven as possible. All the workplaces are
routinely checked by our local team to ensure meaningful volunteering work is taking place.
Affordability: The Tarzan Way being run by young travellers like you, we have made sure that
our prices are as affordable as possible to make your travel plans a reality. You will not get more
affordable and transparent than ours anywhere else. We are able to make this possible because
being a travel company based in India, we have amazing partners all across the country ensuring
the cheapest and best possible prices.
Local Support: With a dedicated local team available 24*7, we make sure you have someone to
rely on at all times. The Experience Captain assigned to you is like your friends, guide and
guardian, making sure you have the best possible experience.
Safety: Having hosted 900+ travellers, we know how to ensure total safety for you. Stringent
rules have been set up for all hosts, workplace or partner participating in our travel experience.
Regular checks by our local team ensure that the quality and safety factor is always maintained.
International Community: With travellers joining our travel experiences from all across the
globe, get ready to become part of a huge community of like-minded travellers from diverse
countries. Friendships built during such experiences often last a lifetime.

possible, we want you to have complete independence with regards to where to go and what to
do. Ample amount of free time has been allotted to make sure you can do what you love.

Question 2

What exactly are these 'travel experiences'?

Accepted Answer

Travel Experiences are unique excursions, trips, activities and so on, based on the experiential aspect of travel to provide a local and culturally immersive feel of the area they’re visiting. They’re formed after extensive research by our team along with our network of travel-bloggers. From the most off-beat villages and adrenaline boosting and unique activities. We’ve tried to keep most of our experiences 100% flexible and as budgeted as possible for everyone to join us.

Question 3

Why should I go for this travel experience?

Accepted Answer

It is our firm belief that “Travel is not just about a vacation, it is about experiencing differentrealities.” 
If you are someone who believes in travelling with a purpose, Social Travel experiences are a perfect travel choice for you wherein you are able to make an impact in the communities you visit through meaningful volunteer work while at the same time understanding the diverse culture of the places you visit. Not only does this make you more aware of the cross-cultural differences existing but you become capable of overcoming these differences and understanding that all humans are made equal. 
The learning and growth opportunities during such programs are immense, helping you grow
both professionally and personally. Not only do volunteers grow their skill base, work experience
and international contacts through volunteering abroad, employers often look favourably upon
those who are willing to go outside of their comfort zone and give up their time to assist others.

Question 5

What about the meals and accommodation?

Accepted Answer

Note that meals and accommodation vary generally from experience to experience. For Social Travel experiences,usually the participants are accommodated with host families (double/triple sharing) or in backpacker hostels (six-sharing dormitories), depending on the choice of the participant and availability. We recommend the participants to opt for host families to have a more immersive experience, while on the other hand if the participant is interested in meeting people from different countries, a backpacker hostel is recommended. ​ Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be provided at the accommodation only and is covered in the experience fees. We've tried to include different cuisines to provide a wholesome experience.   Check out the Information Booklet to know more details about the same. ​

Question 6

Moreover, there are local coordinators and TTW partners present on all the locations throughout the travel experience. For experiences lasting less than 2 weeks, depending on the difficulty of the travel experience, the Experience Captain usually meets the participants during the first day & last day or stays throughout the experience and participants can remain in touch with him/her 24/7 whether by chat or call.

In addition to that, you can reach out to The Tarzan Way’s helplines 24/7 in case of any emergency.

Question 7

Why is this experience recommended of international travelers? Does this imply that Indian travelers can’t join in for the same?

Accepted Answer

The ideal duration for this program is 6 weeks and it covers an entire region of the country, so it is generally preferred by international travelers or the travelers from a different region in India. This recommendation does not suggest that Indian travelers can’t join the travel experience. In fact, participants from different regions prefer this program to explore the culture of the region covered in this experience.

Question 8

Will I be alone or will I be with a group?

Accepted Answer

Most of our travel experiences are in small groups consisting of 7-9 people, since we keep a cap of 15 people since we feel that in smaller groups travelers tend to connect more with each other and have a more comfortable and less chaotic overall journey.
