Leave any preconceptions at the door on this Delhi slum tour 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 a couple of 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.
By the end of the tour you will understand how our NGO, Reality Gives, is working to support local NGOs and bring its excellent Mumbai programs to Sanjay Colony.

Uncover the realities of residential life as you wander the narrow lanes with your guide.

Me and my son ordered an old Delhi tour, and the guide Kumar Saurabh (nick name Sam ) show up te be an informativ, calm and trustworthy great guide. We enjoy it so much that we order the slum tour at Sanjay Colony for the next day, with the same guide. Sam had day off after the old Delhi tour and was happy to use some ekstra time with us afterwards. We use the opportunity to invite him to join us for a meal at McDonald’s at the end, before we left him away in Delhi city.
The tour is easely to book and pay direct at the Reality Tours & Travel web side.
We was from other recoment to use this tours, because 80% of the proceeds go to the NGO reality gives. I rather pay a litle more and then know that there is a trustworthy organisation back.
The guide is not doing any pushing to get you into some specific shop or anything, all information is given bye
The slum tour run by Reality Tours & Travel, is a good opportunity to see hove people have it in this area and then do it with dignety and respect. This is done here.
All the best Kim Norway
Chitti gave us a super tour of a different sliver of life in Delhi. He was well organized and flexible and open to all questions. I also really liked the organization’s system of giving back to the local community.
Naresh did a great job teaching us about the history and people of Sanjay Colony. My teenage children learned a lot.
Nice guide , interesting and good that money goes to people of the area . Flexible guide also . You should do this tour
This was a truly humbling and eye opening experience. Saurav, our guide showed us through the slum and the conditions that people live in. He was very knowledgable and had unique insights into living in Sanjay Colony. He helped us navigate through Delhi Metro and was very helpful and put us at ease on our first day in New Delhi. Will highly recommend this tour.
