Itinerary

  • Dharavi

    Asia's largest slum, Dharavi, lies on prime property right in the middle of India's financial capital, Mumbai (Bombay). It is home to more than a million people. Many are second-generation residents, whose parents moved in years ago. In a city where house rents are among the highest in the world, Dharavi provides a cheap and affordable option to those who move to Mumbai to earn their living. Daily wages here can be as low as 185 rupees ($4/£2.20) per day. As Dharavi is located between Mumbai's two main suburban rail lines, most people find it convenient for work. Dharavi also has a large number of thriving small-scale industries that produce embroidered garments, export quality leather goods, pottery, plastic and many more. Most of these products are made in tiny manufacturing units spread across the slum and are sold in domestic as well as international markets. The annual turnover of business here is estimated to be more than $650m (£350m) a year. The state government has plans to redevelop Dharavi and transform it into a modern township, complete with proper housing and shopping complexes, hospitals and schools.

Amazing Dharavi Tour, thoroughly recommend

Published on Feb, 2025

Roy was an incredible guide and extremely knowledgable about Dharavi, providing a fascinating tour. Showing many different areas of the slum from Commercial, Educational and Residential and even showing us inside his home. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone visiting Mumbai.

Amazing - sensory overload

Unforgettable moment in Dharavi

Published on Feb, 2025

I’m a Grade 11 student passionate about understanding how happiness takes different shapes depending on people’s lives. Visiting Dharavi Slum made me realize exactly what my dream is. Our tour guide, Bharati Didi, was truly dedicated to her work, and I have great respect for her. She was incredibly open-minded, sharing her life stories with us, and she made every effort to provide the best possible experience within the time limits. I could feel that she wasn’t just doing her job for herself but genuinely striving to make visitors happy through their experience in Dharavi. Dharavi is a unique slum, unlike any other, and I’m certain that just two hours there can teach you so much. Thank you for this incredible opportunity, and a special thanks to Bharati Didi for being such an amazing guide!
