Hindi translation:SairsapAta----सैरसपाटा
Explanation:
Since you are looking for a colloquial and common equivalent for sightseeing, I think that SairsapAta----सैरसपाटा should serve your purpose. Otherwise, DrishyAvlokan/Drishya-darshan/Prakriti-sthal-darshan/Susthal-darshal are pure Hindi terms for the same.

ghooma-phirna


Explanation:
I like langclinic's sair-sapata which can also be shortened to just sair karne (सैर करने).

Another frequently used Hindi term for sight seeing is घूमना-फिरना (ghoomna-phirna).

instead of noticing the verb as sight seeing,I think it is a noun as 'sightseeing'in hindi.
