Delhi\u2019s street food.<\/p>\n

Foodies can now take a culinary tour of the city, which dips into delicious food from across 80 food joints, by hopping on to ‘Delhi’s Delicious Food Tour Bus.’ (@Siliconeer, #Siliconeer, @DelhiFoodies, #SeekSherpa, #DelhiDeliciousFoodTourBus, @IncredibleIndia)<\/p>\n

The tour is being organized by SeekSherpa, a mobile marketplace that connects travelers and locals over unique experiences and aims to explore taking groups of people on a regular basis to discover food at joints that would otherwise not be at a walking distance.<\/p>\n

The idea, conceived in December last year, offers foodies a three-hour tour in a bus starting from Hauz Khas metro station.<\/p>\n

“People assemble at a starting point and we take them for 3 hours to various food stops. The price of the food and transport is all included in the tour,” says Dhruv Raj Gupta, co-founder, Seeksherpa.<\/p>\n

The ride is like a movie outing with fellow travelers indulging in food and conversation at the same time.<\/p>\n

The food joints, say organizers have been kept secret and were shortlisted by 80 food Sherpas at SeekSherpa through a polling mechanism.<\/p>\n

The tour, priced at Rs. 899 per person offers a variety of cuisines including Indian, Tibetan, Afghani etc.<\/p>\n

“The bus tour is an amazing journey to the kitchens of as many states of India possible in 3 hours with the aim of tasting a variety of foods across India,” says Dhruv.<\/p>\n

The price includes a dish at 3 stops, a reserved seat in an A\/C coach, a bottle of water, sanitizer, tissues and Sherpa fee are included in the cost.<\/p>\n

The organizers claimed to have catered to more than 350 customers since their launch last year and have executed 12 successful bus tours with an average of 2 tours in a week.<\/p>\n

“We have catered to over 350 consumers across 12 successful bus tours since we launched which is almost 2 per week,” says Dhruv.<\/p>\n

The community plans to launch similar initiative in Mumbai.<\/p>\n

“We are based in Delhi currently. Our pilot in Mumbai was successful and we will launch shortly,” says Dhruv.<\/p>\n

The food bus tour which is like a picnic has been received well by the customers with great review posted on the website.<\/p>\n

“Went for the 30th Jan tour. Have to say it was amazing! Great food, dishes I’ve never had before. Brilliant idea. Will definitely go for other tours. Highly recommended,” Ayushi, a traveler wrote on the SeekSherpa website.<\/p>\n

“We had the drooling Tandoori Momos from Lajpat, the Butterly-delicious Sanjay Chur Chur Nan, Mutton Chopan Kabab (Afghani Darbar), followed by Sheer Yakh (this was awesome!),” says Gaurav, another traveller.<\/p>\n

After the spicy round of food, a desserts food bus tour is on the cards.<\/p>\n

“We are getting deeper into cuisines in the food bus concept and exploring a desserts food bus tour and a food Bhawans food bus crawl,” says Dhruv.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
