Why Choose Our Delhi Slum Tours?

Delhi slum tours offer a glimpse into Sanjay Colony a thriving, tightly-knit community in South Delhi. As an industrial center with small-scale manufacturing, it is a hive of activity, filled with friendly locals, smiling children, and twisting alleyways. Like many other slums, it grapples with inadequate infrastructure, overcrowding, and limited access to essential services.

Our ethical and educational slum tours offer a unique and respectful understanding of everyday life in Sanjay Colony while challenging the negative stereotypes often associated with slums.

From the classic Sanjay Colony Tour to one that includes a delightful family lunch, our local guides—most of whom are from the community—can’t wait to show you their neighborhood and share their perspectives on life in this vibrant community.

Best of all, 80% of our post-tax profits is invested in our charity, Reality Gives, whose impact you will witness firsthand during the tour.
