Itinerary

Explore the Dharavi Slum, the largest slum located in a megacity in Asia. The slum is now famous thanks to the Oscar-winning film "Slumdog Millionaire". The tour will open your eyes to this bustling area of small businesses and a thriving community. Start the journey by meeting your guide at Dharavi, and experiencing the everyday happenings of this unique area. Numerous small businesses are thriving in every corner, making anything from exotic soaps and handmade cosmetics, to pottery and textiles. Throughout the walking tour, benefit from being a small group. Stroll easily through the narrow alleys and see how locals live their life here. You'll have a chance to interact with many people in the community. You'll also learn how the local recycling industry works.  You'll also be amazed at how diverse Dharavi is, with many different traditions and beliefs gathered in the same place. Your 2-hour tour will end at a pottery factory, where you can ask the guide to get you a taxi. You can also add on a vegetarian meal in a local family's home if you would like to stay in the slum a bit longer.

We liked the tour and the guide. The guy-guide is a local, he lived in Daravi all his life. He took us to places of various production and processing, as well as residential areas. The people are frie (Read More)ndly, it is interesting to walk. We also rode to the laundry by train, where there was also a small excursion.

Dhobi Ghat is also not to be missed! Loki was an excellent guide!

The amount of information in this tour was super low, we were just walking and the guide pointed to us the basic information in a most general way, would've loved some more context and storytelling an (Read More)d perhaps focusing more on some points, but we were just rushing from one point to the other. The title of the tour was Slumdog Millionaire tour but there was zero mention of anything from the movie. At least we had someone to guide us through the slums otherwise we'd get lost, so thanks for that.
