The following pertains to both packages:
Meet by phone or zoom with a WIN team member. Let us know more about your group, your interests and your expectations. We may recommend certain focus or route based on your goals. For example, some groups may want to spend more time in India than in Nepal or vice-versa. Some may have a specific goal of providing training to native Christian leaders in which case we will add on the option of a 3-day Pastors and Leaders Workshop. Some may have a passion for water projects, or for anti-trafficking. We believe in vision-based engagement so we will work with you according to your vision and passion.
If you are not a prior relationship of WIN, we will request you to fill out an application form providing references. We reserve the right to proceed or to not proceed with further plans.
By the end of this meeting a WIN team member will suggest some date options for you to begin considering.
After the phone or zoom meeting, the team leader(s) decides on a date for the trip within the date range recommended by the WIN team member. You then may begin encouraging others from your church or business to participate, and if you are open to well-vetted outside participants, WIN may also invite others (who will of course bear their own expenses).
WIN will provide a few documents for your group leader and each group member to fill out and sign. This both is for your own safety and also for the smooth future flow of your trip.
Depending on which package you choose, either WIN or you and your team will obtain your international flights, ensure all group members have passports valid for at least six months beyond the end of the trip, and apply for E-Visas to India. (Your Nepal visas are available at Immigration when you arrive). NOTE that there is no need to mail your passports out anymore for visa to India/Nepal. Please do not do this as it may create unnecessary delays.
We utilize companies, hotels and restaurants which we have previously used and which we know provide good service, comfortable accommodation and excellent, safe food.
WIN is available to you and your group for a Zoom meeting prior to the trip. IN this meeting we look forward to meeting group members, providing more detailed explanation of the upcoming itinerary, and answering any questions you may have.
After you return from your trip, we would like to schedule a zoom call with you and as many of the group participants as wish to join. We want to hear from you. How was the trip? What did you enjoy most? What could we have done better to serve you?
