Overview

Our Friendly well experienced English Speaking Guide who is Born up & Rise up there and still lives at Banganga Residence. Visiting Banganga Tank provides an exceptional opportunity to submerge yourself in the history of the city, and learn about how it evolved from seven sparsely populated islands to the bustling metropolis it is today. Banganga Walkeshwar Walk is flanked by a narrow street lined with temples, homes, and dharamsalas (religious rest houses). It forms the route of the holy parikrama, a walk around the tank on foot, which Hindus believe to have immense purifying benefits. There’s also a dhobi ghat which is Mumbai’s most famous open-air laundry.

A must walk for old world enthusiasts

Published on May, 2023

Ajay, our host, was well informed, passionate and explained everything in detail! We have lived in Mumbai for over 20 years and had never visited or knew of it. Worth it.

Living Nostalgia

Published on Jul, 2022

I attended the Banganga walk organized by Khaki tours on 10th July. It was a great experience visiting a place in Mumbai where it seems like time has stood still. The surroundings around the Banganga tank haven't changed much since the last 100-150 yrs. It still resembled the pictures which were taken a century ago. Even the lifestyle of people in that area hasn't caught up with the hustle and bustle of rest of the Modern Mumbai. You could feel a slow and calm pace that's inherent in this area. Overall an enriching experience.

Mumbai Dream Tours and guide (Dhaval) were superb!

Published on Nov, 2019

Mumbai Drea Tours owner is hands-on with customer interaction, that's great! When we arrived in Mumbai the guide (Dhaval) was already waiting or us. He took time to drive us around popular tourist spots with great care, and smile. I truly enjoyed the tour, and would recommend them to anyone visiting Mumbai! Big up Mumbai Dream Tours!

Great tour no complains.
