About Tour
On our unique Dharavi Slum Tour Mumbai, the visitors travel on foot across the slums of Dharavi. This slum area in Mumbai is the heart of various small-scale industries in the city. En-route through one of the largest slums in Asia, travelers experience a wide range of these activities such as recycling, embroidery, bakery, pottery-making, soap factory, poppadom-making, leather tanning and many more. Apart from the business aspect of Dharavi, visitors get to witness a secular nation with a spirit of survival through the lives of these slum dwellers. Dharavi Slum Tour shows how Citizens from all over India dwell in Dharavi and yet create a sense of unity.
This slum tour in Mumbai is a quarter day on-foot experience, abolishing all preconceived notions of this large slum area in Mumbai. Dharavi is much more than a historic area of Mumbai's poverty. Dharavi's industries get an annual turnover of approximately US$ 665 million and this slum tour in Mumbai shows how most of that revenue is created, through a wide range of these activities: recycling, pottery-making, embroidery, bakery and many more. Another aspect that the visitors witness is the diversity in religion, custom and belief. However a sense of unity is definitely experienced, even from an outsider's point of view.

Anal Embranthiri
Wanted to take my kids here, for obvious reasons. Our tour guide was very pleasant and helpful. The service was flawless by the locals. It was very safe, with maximum efforts taken for safety. Kids were not scared, rather amused and thoughtful. Saw the various mosques, churches and temples - diversity in the purest form. Everything was well planned out. You should bring your kids here once.

It was great experience. Guide is very kind and has a lot of knowledge. I have never seen something like this before. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.
Ronald
This tour was so eye-opening for me, and I can’t reccomend it enough to anyone! The slum was very hard hitting but also a place of hard work and mass joy. If you are considering this tour I urge you to just go for it, the tour guide was one of the loveliest people I’ve ever met and was also extremely informative. It is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before and am certain to go again in the future.

Was absolutely incredible as they navigated us safely through the slum, which is something that, without them, could have been very difficult and dangerous. They were extremely friendly and fun while being informative and interactive. Truly a once in a life time opportunity.
