Description
Explore Delhi’s streets on a private auto rickshaw tour. Visit Ghazipur Garbage Mountain, explore a slum community, and enjoy a traditional Indian lunch.
Hop into a buzzing auto rickshaw and dive into the real streets of Delhi. This immersive half-day tour takes you to a vibrant slum community and the towering Ghazipur Garbage Mountain, one of Asia’s largest landfills. Along the way, experience the city’s pulse, meet locals, learn about grassroots recycling efforts, and end with a hearty, authentic Indian lunch.
Begin with a pickup from your hotel and hop into your private auto rickshaw. Drive through Delhi’s bustling streets to the landfill area. See the 65-meter-high “mountain” from a safe distance. Learn about waste management, recycling economies, and environmental challenges.
Next, arrive at a slum community by auto rickshaw and explore on foot with a local community guide. Visit homes, workshops, and small-scale businesses. Hear stories from residents and learn about local development initiatives. Share chai and snacks with residents in the community.
Pass through lively neighborhoods and colorful markets on your way to a local restaurant. Enjoy a fresh, traditional meal (veg or non-veg options) at a clean local restaurant. Finally, return to your hotel.
