What we’re about
DelhiByFoot was an idea born among kindred spirits, out of similar passions and a shared love for the city of Delhi and the rich delights it has to offer. Almost 20 years ago we were convinced that the best way to explore the world and to make sense of it all was by “walking on foot”.
What started was explorations with a group of friends, that formed into an active history and cultural heritage community in the days of Yahoo Groups and early Facebook years and soon morphed into DelhiByFoot Adventures, in the year 2011.
With a diverse team of photographers, nature experts, activists, artists, architects and raconteurs, DBF brings to you all its knowledge of and admiration for this city and beyond in readymade and bespoke experiences to facilitate your trysts with the myriad places and themes in this country.
Our tangible and intangible heritage is at the center of DBF’s activities, not just in reverence but to understand it in order to understand ourselves and help us surge forth into the future. With that vision, our repertoire consists of unique walks and experiences for children to refresh and enhance their classroom knowledge, apart from engagements for anyone with a sense of wonder. Walk with us along markets exploding with color and confetti, amble around ruins of impressive forts, hug ancient trees and sit under their shade listening to the chirping of migratory birds, revel among the yarn spinners of what old timers in the city refer as “Dilli” and sample Delhi’s culinary and visual delights with us and make it your own.
With over a decade of curating walks in Delhi, DBF today is a leader in the field and offers experiential modules, educational packages, book-readings and baithaks with specialists and tailor-made itineraries encompassing culture, history and heritage, food and adventure.

See all- Durga Puja Bus-a-thon: Idols/Pandals Visits, Culture and Food!New Delhi, New Delhi, Delhi₹2,300.00
Join the fun and craziness of Durga Puja on the ONLY whirlwind tour of Delhi's Best Durga Pujos...the sights, sounds and food, as we hop across some of Delhi's most iconic Durga Puja Pandals (Pandals are decorated temporary tented spaces meant for the community's congregational religious functions) on our annual Pujo Festival Bus-a-thon tour. Safely, securely without the hassle of negotiating Delhi's harrowing traffic!
The 11th edition of the "DBF Pujo Bus-a-Thon" rolls out on 29th Sep evening on 'Maha Saptami' to give you an immersive experience of the many rituals traditions and festivities associated with Durga Puja at 5 to 6 selected Puja Pandals across Delhi!
Gaze in wonder upon the exquisitely beautiful idols of Goddess Durga and connect with her calming aura followed by the gradual build-up to the frenzied trance-inducing and heart-thumping beats of Dhaak (the traditional drums) as the evening Arati (Ritual prayers) is done; and witness the worship rituals to the accompanying crescendo of Shonkho (Conches), Kanshor (Cymbals) and Ghonta (Bells) at the oldest continuously celebrated Durga Pujas of Delhi!
Then the DBF Pujo Tour Bus will zip across the city to few more Puja Pandals, which are renowned for their idols pandal designs and innovations.
And what will Durga Puja be without a taste of Bengali Foods, which go beyond 'Fish Fry' and the famed 'Rosogulla'; so you will savour a few favourite Pujo Snacks, as we guide you through a Bengali smorgasbord in the Pandals!
