Living and Learning in the Himalayas: A Journey at The Pleasant Valley School The Intern/Volunteer program will begin on 1st July 2025 and requires a minimum commitment of 3 months . Tucked away in the tranquil foothills of the Himalayas near Ranikhet, The Pleasant Valley School offers more than just an educational experience—it’s a transformative journey into the heart of nature and humanity. Surrounded by towering pines, crisp mountain air, and the quiet rhythm of village life, this unique institution blends learning with living in one of the most pristine environments imaginable. For those who come to intern, or volunteer here, life takes on a different pace. The days begin with the songs of birds and end under starlit skies, untouched by the noise and distractions of modern urban life. The school itself is a vibrant hub of curiosity and compassion, where children from nearby communities learn not only academic subjects, but also the values of kindness, sustainability, and self-reliance. Interns and Volunteers live on campus, sharing meals, stories, and responsibilities in a warm, communal atmosphere. The modest comforts are more than offset by the richness of the experience—the joy of watching a child grasp a new concept, the quiet reward of tending to the Hanuman Temple on the top, the awe of witnessing the changing moods of the mountains with the seasons. High in the serene and pine-covered foothills of the tranquil campus of The Pleasant Valley School, an ancient Hanuman temple has recently been lovingly revived—bringing to life not just a place of worship, but a vital thread of India’s sacred geography. Perched on the quiet hilltop with sweeping views of snow-clad peaks, the temple lies along a lesser-known but historically significant pilgrimage route once taken by Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya on his journey from Varanasi to Badrinath-Kedarnath , passing through the revered Jageshwar Dham . This ancient path, walked by seekers for centuries, echoes with stories of devotion, discipline, and discovery. Forgotten over time and weathered by the elements, the modest shrine to Lord Hanuman stood in silence for decades—until the school community took it upon themselves to restore it. What began as a simple act of reverence gradually became a symbol of cultural revival and spiritual continuity. The rebuilding process drew not only on temple craftsmanship but also on the quiet devotion of volunteers, students, and teachers who worked in harmony with nature. Stones were hand-carried up the forested slopes, and prayers were offered at every stage of construction. The temple today, though humble in scale, radiates an ancient presence that is deeply felt by all who visit. Surrounded by the rustling pines and overlooking a valley kissed by clouds, the revived Hanuman temple stands as a timeless sentinel—honoring the past, blessing the present, and inspiring future generations to walk gently on the earth, with faith in their hearts. For those who intern or volunteer at The Pleasant Valley School, the temple is more than a monument. It is a living testament to the resilience of tradition, the power of community, and the quiet magic that thrives in the hidden folds of the Himalayas. The Pleasant Valley School is not just a place to teach, but a place to grow. Those who spend time here would remember it as one of the most memorable and meaningful chapters of their lives—a rare opportunity to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with purpose, people, and the planet. We provide free lodging and boarding on the school campus, along with a monthly honorarium of ₹5,000 (please note, this is not a salary). Only dedicated and passionate candidates with clean habits are encouraged to apply. Please WhatsApp your CV and relevant certificates to 9084141223 or email to [email protected] for consideration.
