Voluntourism
Overview
We go to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands to immerse
ourselves in untouched, natural beauty. We volunteer
with ANET to protect it.
Your volunteering work will take place on or near ANETs
base camp at North Wandoor on the southern tip of South
Andaman Island. Tucked away among forested hills and
mangrove swamps, the base camp is just a few kilometers
from Marine National Park that has great snorkeling.
What you will be doing
Your work on the islands will help preserve and protect
the indigenous mangrove habitats here. The mangrove
forests play a critical role in not only Your volunteering
program includes:
Conserve mangrove habitats and learn about the role
they play in protection from natural disasters
Assist with photography surveys of natural habitats Help catalog and organize research information
Supplement on-station researchers with hands on
surveys and studies
How your work will help
Your volunteer work will help ANETs extensive study of
the natural regeneration of the mangrove forests as well
as rebuild of the habitats that have suffered damage from
human trafc and from the 2004 Christmas tsunami
You and your fellow Always Outbound travelers each will
bring a fresh outlook and a unique skill set to ANET that
are scarce in terms of education, skills and experience as
well ANETs remote location from mainland India.
Our Voluntourism Philosophy:
Our desire to impact communities in a positive way
guides all of our decisions. We:
Combine active sightseeing and volunteering
with a respected NGO in short trips.
Know how to help without being a burden on an
NGOs limited time and budget.
Select projects suitable to our schedules and
diversity of guests.

Why Travel With Us
Voluntourism
Active sightseeing, combined with meaningful community
volunteering, is our sole focus. That means we:
Choose incredible destinations that provide authentic
and immersive travel experiences.
Volunteer on existing community projects with well-
respected local NGOs/Non-Prots.
Ensure that your volunteer efforts create a positive
impact that will last long after youve left.
A Rigorous 26 Step Vetting Process
From the selection of lightly traveled destinations and
reputable volunteer organizations to lodging, local guides,
safety and dining; no detail is neglected in the vetting
process.
We test drive our itineraries by riding, walking, kayaking,diving, and hiking every inch. Our extensive planning
allows us to take advantage of fortuititous surprises like
an impromptu wedding invitation for example.
Small Footprint, Big Impact
We keep our groups much smaller than most other travel
companies. We do this because we are very serious about
keeping our footprint small and positive impact on the
communities high.
One of a kind Trips
Our voluntours are unique vacations that take you
spectacular destinations, provide amazing experienc
and bring guests back home with a lifetime of memorie
Our trips includes such memorable experiences as:
Organic camping in beautiful Himalayan valleys
Slow immersive travel by camels, kayaks and canoe
Scuba diving and snorkeling on hidden coral reefs
Homestays in remote and indigineous villages
And much more...
Flexible Itineraries, Many Options
We hate rigidity at AlwaysOutbound. Our guests don
come from cookie-cutters and neither do our trips. You
have time set aside to do your own exploring and pursu
your own activities. You can take part in group experienc
and still have the freedom to steal away for some muc
needed time alone.
Combining East and West
Our Asian roots provide us with the cultural understandin
insider knowledge and on-the-ground expertise require
for authentic experiences.
Our Western experience means that we understand th
subtle nuances of Western hospitality and service.
Extraordinary destinations, rich cultures, unspoilt places while making a difference. Lets go see the world for real

remote Andaman islands are being impacted.
By going now, you can experience an unspoilt
and unhurried island paradise.

Andamans complex eco-system for both its
people and other travelers like you.

Active sightseeing vacations that include
community volunteering is the reason Always
Outbound was founded. This notion of our
guests giving back and getting authentic
travel experiences is at the core of everyaction and every trip we run. Our founder
and team members all come from South
Asia. Our founder is currently a 15 year US
resident. That means:
We speak the local language and have
local relationships that give us an insider
view on the region.
We understand the subtle nuances of
our diverse international guests that are
critical to a memorable vacation
Our goal is you come back recharged and
refreshed, with an idea of how meaningful
travel can be.
Its time to go see the world for real!
A note from founder Subir Kumedan:
I grew up in the bustling metropolis
of New Delhi, India. Starting with my
two-week trek in the Himalayas at 16, I
have long explored the serene beauty
of the Indian sub-continent.
Now a resident of San Francisco,
California, I travel to India and Asia
frequently. The economic boom, while
helping enormously, is also a threat
to the unique mix of cultures and
landscapes of Asia thatI love so much.
My desire to preserve them led me to found Always Outbound.
Through authentic voluntours, I can share these gems whilelending a hand to protect local communities, traditions and natural
environments.
Join me and together well make a difference.
