Visit a temple, understand the education system, home life, understand the role of faith in people's lives, and the challenges that people encounter on a daily basis, such as finding water.

Begin the tour by meeting your guide at the Harkesh Nagar Okhla metro station, outside gate number 2.

We will start with a visit to a public school to learn about the education system. We will then continue to the Sanjay Colony slum to see how people work in the clothing industry. Visit a household to experience how people live in their homes. Understand the role of faith in people’s lives, and end the tour with a visit to a temple.
