To ensure comfortable and environment friendly city tourism, the Delhi government will empower tourists to visit some iconic attractions of the capital through a full-day air-conditioned electric bus service. This move will change the entire landscape of sightseeing in the national capital, combining guided tours with eco-conscious travel options.
The service is being introduced by the Delhi Tourism and Transportation Development Corporation (DTTDC) with support from Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC). The service will trek with a handful of 3-4 electric buses that will, given the demand by the guests, experience an increase in the time to come.
What the New Tour Service Offers
The new initiative comes with electric buses that are air-conditioned, with comfortable seating and well-maintained interiors. The bus can take about 30 passengers. Tourist guides will share live commentary, while audio guides in multiple languages, including English, Hindi, and Tamil, will be provided to passengers.
The tour will start in the early morning and continue throughout the day, covering major tourist spots:
•Red Fort
•Qutub Minar
•Lotus Temple
•Kartavya Path
•Prime Ministers’ Museum
•National War Memorial
This structured, daylong tour is provided with an intention that tourists visiting Delhi comfortably enjoy every part of it.
Ticket Prices and Booking
The usual fare is fixed at ₹500 for adults and ₹300 for children from 6 up to 12 years of age. The ticket provides for the entire day tour; thus, it will allow entry to a handful of heritage sites and onboard guide services.
While the final booking mechanism is yet to be announced, tickets are expected to be available through the Delhi Tourism website and physical counters at selected boarding points. Online pre-booking may also be enabled soon for the convenience of tourists.
Electric Buses for Green Tourism
As part of the government thrust on sustainable urban mobility, electric buses will be used for this tour. These 9-meter-long electric buses, hired from DTC, will help in reducing pollution and promoting green tourism practices in the city.
The buses will be decorated with cultural art and Delhi-themed branding, promoting the capital’s rich heritage. The air-conditioning will run throughout the duration of the bus ride, thus making sightseeing pleasant even through Delhi’s scorching summers.
Why This Tour Matters
This new sightseeing model is designed to replace the old “Hop-On Hop-Off” (HoHo) buses, which had limited routes with erratic timings. With a much more organized approach to working the full-day loop, the new service guarantees that the tourist never misses a key attraction, either due to long waits or missed connections.
The service also reflects the growing demand for convenient and guided tourism options in metropolitan cities like Delhi. It combines the benefits of electric mobility, tourism promotion, and cultural education, all in one package.
Plans for Expansion
While the first phase focuses on a limited number of heritage sites, officials have confirmed that more routes may be introduced later. These could include theme-based circuits such as:
•Market and street food tours
•Museum and gallery circuits
•Evening monument lighting tours
Depending on the response from tourists, DTTDC may scale up the number of buses and routes in the near future.
A Boost to Delhi’s Tourism Sector
With this new offering, the Government of Delhi is aiming to elevate the city’s tourism ecosystem, which has attempted to remain resilient since the pandemic. The tour service will stay aligned with the philosophy of making Delhi a prominent tourist destination catering clean, accessible, and informed travel experiences.
Delhi, Comfortably Yours
Tourism revolves around the theme of sightseeing and comes under one of the economic pillars of India. Yet it is considered to be the world’s fastest-growing industry. This new sightseeing facility will be inexpensive, educational, and sustainable for exploring the heart of India.
With skilled guides, multilingual support, and comfortable air-conditioned rides, this initiative is set to become the preferred choice for those tourists desiring to see the capital in one day.

See Delhi, Seek Satlok
While this full-day bus tour enables us to appreciate the grandeur of Delhi’s historical sites, it is important to remember that this whole world is perishable.
The day will come when all these artistic monuments and cities will crumble into dust. But there lies a place beyond destruction, where nothing perishes, where sorrow is unable to touch the soul, and sheer joy prevails eternally. That divine place is called Satlok, our real eternal home, lovingly created by Kabir Parmeshwar for all of us (His children).
Just as this tour is a bridge to Delhi’s past, the true spiritual knowledge imparted by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj points us to Satlok, the final resting place for souls seeking everlasting peace and liberation.
