Leave any preconceptions at the door and prepare to learn how many Delhiites live.
Sanjay Colony is a small slum built on 25 acres of land located in the south of Delhi near the Bahai Lotus Temple and Iskcon temple. Spend 2 hours walking around and visiting small scale businesses, a small temple, a mosque and residential areas. Learn about working and residential life and witness how despite the challenging living conditions it remains an area charged with positive energy and strong community.
Family Lunch: Towards the end of the tour, we will walk to a nearby family home for a vegetarian meal. Not only will you get additional insight into Sanjay Colony, but you’ll provide a local family with some extra income. Get comfortable to feast the local way, sitting on the floor and eating with your hands.
By the end of the tour you will understand how our NGO, Reality Gives, is working to support local NGOs and bring its excellent education programs to Sanjay Colony.

Visit a small Hindu temple where you will learn about the importance of religion in the residents’ lives.
Uncover the realities of residential life as you wander the narrow lanes with your guide.
In addition to getting an overview of the maze-like tour route, you will get a stunning view of Sanjay Colony!
