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.

Listening to the life stories of the lads was very humbling. What this Trust does is absolutely amazing It brings hope and direction to the many street kids in Delhi. Such a worthy cause.

We specifically went on the food tour with the salaam baalak trust and it was wonderful. Old Delhi can be kind of overwhelming for a Westerner and our guides Furkan and Kajal helped us navigate it pretty easily, while helping us get some very tasty morsels along the way. One of the real highlights for me was the spice market which has a component similar to many other cities' spice markets that is more tourist fading, but then also the wholesale spice market where huge 50 kilo bags of pepper and coriander and even some things I'd never seen before like whole mace and dried green mango pieces that are made into amchur powder. Anyways it was a great little adventure and we really enjoyed ourselves.

This is a very touching and informative tour. You see things you may not be accustomed to. The organization and its mission are doing work that is monumental. Don’t avoid this. There is no hard sell for donations so don’t feel guilty. But go and learn about another part of life.

What an incredible tour! It’s so terribly sad learning about all of the street kids, but Salaam Balaak is doing an incredible job helping them! This tour is definitely worth it and gives you exposure to the true India!

Our tour was delivered by two people who stayed at the Salaam Baalak Trust’s shelters. Their insight and stories brought a different perspective to our surroundings which we had not otherwise seen and we would highly recommend. Thank you in particular to Kajal for sharing her story, we wish you the best of luck on your travels to come.

A truly eye opening experience, the association is doing a very difficult but equally honorable job. The walk shows you the true and harsh street life, how kids find their way through life, told by someone who went that way. Congrats for your efforts! Thanks for the walk.

Can you please let me know if the areas covered by SBT City Walk is different from the Street Connections Old Delhi walk ? I think the SBT City Walk is 2 hrs, starts at 10 and cost R300, whereas the Old Delhi walk is 3 hrs long and starts at 9 am ..Thanks in advance ! Cheers, Stan

Street Connections is linked to the Salaam Balaak Trust and certainly the walk we did with them was led by a former street child who had spent 6 years in a SB home. Our walk ended at one of the SB homes. It was one of the best things we did whilst in India and I found it so inspiring that I am going back in a couple of months to volunteer with SBT!

Hello
I personally got more out of the salaam Ballak trust walk - but this is because I’m working for a not-for-profit Children’s Foundation.
It is very different to the Delhi rickshaw ride. The Delhi ride is great too but is more of a tourist attraction. Try do both.

I am a 60 year old woman thinking of doing this on my own. I can get a driver to drop me off and then pick me up at the end of the tour, but I don't know how close he can get to the drop off and pick up spots in his car. Will I have to wander around much on my own to find the meeting place at the beginning, and then at the end walk far to find a spot where a driver could pick me up? He can't leave his car.

We are travelling across the north of India in Dec/Jan. I have had two voluntary work trips to India and now that I have a family, I want them to not only have my stories to go on, but to see the type of work and the surroundings I worked in first hand. My children will be 9 and 6 by then. Do you think this activity is suitable (lengthwise particularly, for the amount of walking in the heat etc) for my children's age range?
Thanks in advance,
Ashley

Yes, it is conducted at a gentle pace and can be altered a little, I'm sure, if you let them know the age of your children. I'd do it!

I have this tour booked for my family and me in December. I am curious about tipping. Any advice? Thank you!

Hello. I'd strongly recommend a good tip if you are happy with the walk. The three of us went all out because Lalit went above and beyond what we'd anticipated. He was overwhelmed and we were happy. So, yes. I'd encourage it.

I have booked a tour next week and wonder if there is anything I can bring with me to donate to the Trust (books, toys, pencils , erasers etc) or would a cash donation be of better use.

We gave cash as we didn't really know what they needed ...
