    About Slum Walks In Delhi (Providing Education To Everyone)
    Ever interested in how people survive and live their life in slums? This walk is organised by a local NGO and registered non-profit organization called PETE India (Providing Education to Everyone). 100% of the proceeds go to support our projects. Participants will accompany a guide through the maze of small streets and alleys of a 5.5 hectare slum in West Delhi for 2 hours. He will show you how millions of people live their lives in the slums of Delhi each day. While in the slum, you'll have the opportunity (if you wish) to have traditional tea with a family during which they can share their personal story of survival and life in the slums. You will visit the three schools that your donations directly support and meet the students and teachers.The aim of this walk is not to "visit" or make poverty a "tourist attraction", but is to exchange experiences with people, allowing the locals a rare opportunity to interact with foreigners if they wish.

    Of course, like anyone else, we were hesitant to book this tour, but thanks to the many excellent reviews from others, we went for it. We booked a private tour for 3 hours. As affluent westerners, we thought it would be an important thing for...More

    Unique Delhi experience

    Amongst the "top 10 to see in Delhi" should be consideration of slum life. This was a very enlightening experience that everyone should do. From cricket to sweatshops this is a great tour of slum life its day to day and it's history
