A warm welcome to Sangam!
Sangam translates into English as “coming together” and there is never a truer word spoken about a stay at this WAGGGS World Centre, which welcomes Guiding members from all around the world to take part in its international programmes each year. The safe and welcoming oasis of Sangam is a great way to start your time in India, allowing your girls to ease into a very different way of life. The food is simple, yet tasty and the site benefits from a water filtration system allowing you to drink the tap water. Enjoy a swim in the pool, take part in the many activities the team have planned for you as well as heading out into the local area to learn more about the culture and traditions, and get involved in some charity work.
A little bit of luxury!
When not at Sangam, we find it best to accommodate groups in hotels that we work with time-and-time again, rather than hostel-style accommodation. We tend to opt for well-known hotel chains such as the Sheraton – after all, it’s nice to have a little bit of luxury along the way!
Activities and Excursions
We recommend starting your trip with a stay at Sangam where you’ll enjoy plenty of arts, crafts and international activities, as well as plenty of time in the local community, meeting locals and taking part in some charity work projects. From there, you can head off for a week of exploration, seeing some of India’s most famous sights.

How could your trip to India look?
Like all Venture Abroad activity holidays for youth groups, you can tailor your time away to suit your group – however we know it’s useful to see how your time away could look, so here is a suggested itinerary.
Day 1
Your trip of a lifetime starts NOW! Fly from the UK to Mumbai, home to a brand-new international airport, and then private transfer to your hotel in Mumbai to rest and recoup.
Day 2
Head out to explore the city of Mumbai with a guided tour. Here, colours are vibrant, markets are bustling, and the energy is nothing short of electric. This city is a striking blend of old and new – a place where ancient temples sit gracefully amongst soaring skyscrapers, and street vendors meet Michelin masterpiece restaurants!
Day 3
It’s time to pick up your things and take the private transfer to Sangam where you’ll receive a warm welcome to the WAGGGS World Centre. The name is rather fitting, in the ancient language of Sanskrit, Sangam stands for ‘Coming Together’ – the friendships forged, and the memories made here are life changing.
