Dharavi, one of the most densely populated neighbourhoods in the world, is often misunderstood. But behind its crowded alleys and bustling streets lies a remarkable story of resilience, resourcefulness, and community. On our Dharavi Slum Tour, you’ll get a firsthand look at daily life in this vibrant urban neighbourhood, where recycling, small industries, and entrepreneurial spirit thrive in surprising ways.
This tour isn’t just about seeing a different side of Mumbai—it’s about understanding the ingenuity and strength of the people who call Dharavi home. You’ll walk through residential areas, witness the incredible recycling practices that make use of everything from plastic to cardboard, and explore the heart of local industries, including the leather trade and textile manufacturing.
Led by experienced, local guides, this immersive walking tour invites you to engage with the community, hear their stories, and gain insights into how people make a living in one of the world’s largest informal settlements. The tour fosters empathy, challenges preconceptions, and provides a deeper understanding of life in Dharavi.
You can choose between a private tour (approx 4 hours) or join a group tour (approx 2 hours), depending on the experience you want to take back with you, from Dharavi.
