See Delhi in a different way with unique street tours

While many people who book flights to Delhi only intend to see the main sights, such as the India Gate and the Red Fort, there is one tour company which offers a different take on the city.

The Salaam Baalak Trust is a charity that helps street children find jobs and offers tours to visitors which are run by the children that it has helped. Nigel Richardson, a journalist with the Daily Telegraph, recently went on one of these tours and described his guide as "a testament to the lifesaving work done by the Salaam Baalak Trust".

A ruling to regulate the number of the small vehicles operating on Delhi's roads has been overturned, allowing rickshaw pullers to haul their carts and passengers around the city, the Guardian reported. One rickshaw puller Sharif told the newspaper that he was "very happy" about the decision.
