Description

Discover the inspiring side of Mumbai on this immersive Dharavi Slum Tour. Meet your guide at the designated pickup point before boarding a Mumbai local train to Mahalaxmi. Your journey begins with a visit to the famous Dhobi Ghat, India's largest open-air laundry, where thousands of clothes are washed by hand every day. Learn about its fascinating history and watch the incredible organization behind this unique workplace.

After exploring Dhobi Ghat, travel to Mahim to begin your guided walk through Dharavi, one of Asia's most vibrant and entrepreneurial communities. Visit the plastic recycling industry, garment manufacturing workshops, pottery area, leather workshops, and local markets. Walk through the narrow lanes and residential neighborhoods to experience everyday life and see how people maximize limited space while running successful small businesses.

Throughout the tour, your guide will share stories about the community's culture, industries, challenges, and remarkable entrepreneurial spirit.

At the end of the tour, you can either finish at the final location or choose to accompany your guide back to the original pickup point.

Amazing experience indeed

Need to do it!! It's a must if you want to realize what India is too (not only the tourist places). Our guide JAWWAL was great, nice and surely the best guide in town. Thanks for everything ????????

Great tour to know the reality of the area

We had a great experience on the Dharavi tour. Our guide, Jawwad, was really cool, friendly and informative. It is a challenging experience, but a great way to see the reality of Dharavi and understand everyday life there. Highly recommended but not for everyone.
