Chanod Relief Ride - February 25th - March 10th, 2013 The Chanod landscape is a sprawling moonscape littered with rocky outcroppings and vast plains - a serene backdrop to the vibrant culture that calls this region home. Experience the varying terrain as you ride through small canyons and over sandy dunes, across vast fields and alongside the beautiful Aravelli Hills. Explore the "Blue City" of Jodhpur, once an important stop along the ancient Silk Road. Interact with the locals on a personal level and catch glimpses of a variety of animals as you ride through the wildlife sanctuary. During this unforgettable 14 day pilgrimage, you'll experience the extraordinary gift of service as you take part in hands-on humanitarian activities that benefit the people of the communities you'll be visiting. Spend time with school children as you distribute educational materials and watch as lives are changed through our Give the Gift of Sight and Dental Care programs.  We invite you to watch our slideshow, which captures both the adventure and the passion behind what we do. Once you see how incredibly beautiful and fulfilling these expeditions can be, you'll want to join us to experience it for yourself!
