Volunteer at a wildlife ecolodge in Gujarat India!

Volunteer at Desert Coursers โ€“ An ecolodge in the wild heart of Gujarat ๐ŸŒพ

Today weโ€™re helping Dhanraj, who shared this interesting volunteer opportunity on our Facebook group ๐ŸŒฑ. Dhanraj runs Desert Coursers, a family-run ecolodge located in the heart of Gujaratโ€™s Little Rann of Kutch, Western India. The lodge is a welcoming space for nature lovers, travellers, and wildlife photographers from around the world โ€“ a place where the desert meets community, culture, and conservation.

The team is currently looking for friendly, enthusiastic volunteers to support day-to-day lodge operations and take part in community outreach. If youโ€™re looking to immerse yourself in a unique part of India, surrounded by nature, wildlife, and cultural richness, this might just be your next meaningful adventure.

Benefits

๐Ÿ“ Volunteers receive a private room with an attached bathroom, three daily meals, and the chance to live closely with both locals and international travelers. The tasks mainly involve reception and guest coordination, especially during the active season โ€“ but thereโ€™s also room to contribute to local schools and social initiatives.

Set on the edge of the Little Rann of Kutch, Desert Coursers is more than a place to stay โ€“ itโ€™s a meeting point between eco-tourism, wildlife exploration, and local culture. The lodge regularly hosts travelers from across the globe who come to photograph wild asses, migratory birds, and experience the vast, otherworldly landscapes of the region.

Dhanraj and his team are offering an opportunity for volunteers who want to exchange their time and energy for an authentic local experience โ€“ one that includes helping out at the reception desk, supporting guest arrivals and departures, and occasionally getting involved with local schools.

What volunteers help with:
  1. Welcoming and checking in guests ๐ŸŒ
  2. Room assignments and general reception support ๐Ÿ›Ž๏ธ
  3. Optional teaching or support activities with underprivileged children in nearby schools ๐Ÿ“š
  4. Occasional help with guest inquiries and sharing knowledge about the regionโ€™s culture and wildlife
Whatโ€™s included:
Location highlights ๐ŸŒ…

The ecolodge is surrounded by desert landscapes, monuments, and traditional villages that still preserve the rhythms of rural Indian life. Volunteers often join safari drives, explore nearby temples, or simply relax under the stars after a dayโ€™s work.
