About
The walk is taken by the former street children who were supported by Salaam Baalak Trust. The guided tour is of almost 2 hours which starts from New Delhi Railway Station and ends at one of the shelter homes of the charity . The guides while taking you through the narrow colurful alleys of Paharganj gives you an insight about the history of the area and the exposure to street life. The real stories of resilience of these young guides is something to look forward to. We invite you to come and join our walk.

I would give ten stars if I could, since I actually enjoyed an unexpected, and excellent double feature.

First, I went on the City Walk with Farhan. He put me at ease right away, and proved a great conversationalist, as well a knowledgeable guide. I got to see parts of the Paharganj area where I frankly would not venture on my own, feeling totally safe the whole time. And the walk, as well as the follow-up conversation at the trust offices really did give a good introductory feel for the organization’s work. I especially appreciated Farhan’s sharing the frankly harrowing story of his life up until he became one of the trust’s clients, and his amazing progression since then.

Having conflated the City Walk with the separate Old Delhi tour (I wanted both), I mentioned my desire to see Old Delhi to the manager-type woman at the office (forgetting her name 🤦🏽), and she immediately set me up with a sort of custom, private walking tour of Old Delhi - leaving immediately, since this was the only time slot I had available.

This tour was led by the charming and knowledgeable Jafar. Once again, all sorts of places I would never see on my own, with amazing context and insights provided by Jafar the whole way. Each of the main attractions of this tour - Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib, Fatehpuri Masjid, spice market, and a Jain temple whose name escapes me - were spectacular in their own right, but Jafar’s insights and amiable guidance really brought those highlights, and many place in between, to life.

A great day, with a great organization, and great guides

Me and my mum would highly recommend the Salaam Baalak Trust City Walk. We were shown round by Kajal who has grown with the charity from a very young age.

We were welcomed openly and guided through different aspects of the street children’s journey. The streets, the initial assessment room, one of the day centres and head office. We had time to meet some children and see them joyously seeking refuge and eating lunch together.

Our guide (Kajal) finished by sharing her story, she was wonderful, vulnerable and honest and we are grateful that she trusted us with her life journey so far.

The trust is having a huge impact in changing the lives of many street children and it was an honour to support this trust.

There is also a gift shop where we purchased T-shirts, magnets and postcards, further supporting the trust.

An ethical way of learning and supporting a very important cause.

Fabulous walking tour of the Old City. Excellent guide and supporting a great charity working in challenging circumstances.
Khursheed, my guide, was brilliant; Knowledgable, enthusiastic and had a fascinating back story.
The locations we went to were amazing and the spice market was just incredible.
Well worth it.

This tour offers some insights in the life of the street children and the work of the foundation which is helping the children getting food, shelter and education. Our great guide Salman showed us the sad and as well the hopeful sides of the street childrens‘ lives and took us on an impressive walk through the streets of Delhi. He himself was once a street child. A donation of 600 Rupia (no further fee, only voluntary) is expected, you get a receipt. Highly recommended!

This was a very interesting tour. Amazing opportunity to see the work of the Trust with Delhi Street children. Our guide, Jafar, had been supported by the Trust and is now working with it.

This was a very informative trip with Jafar who was a great guide. He guided us expertly through streets that we would never have walked through alone. We saw the real Delhi and how people lived and the work being done to help street children. . Jafar was very interesting and had his own story to tell. We would highly recommend booking this trip
