Dharavi Tour Including Car Transfer
Description
Step beyond the headlines and explore the real Dharavi on our Dharavi Slum Tour with local residents who call it home. Discover its thriving small-scale industries, strong sense of community, and everyday life. Led by a responsible travel company, this tour directly supports local development initiatives. You will see a wide range of business activities: recycling, pottery-making, embroidery, bakery, soap factory, leather tanning, poppadom-making and many more. We’ll also visit the residential areas. You’ll see the community centre run by our NGO Reality Gives that is funded through profits from the tours. We will pick you up from your hotel and head by car to Dharavi. If you are staying in South Mumbai (eg Colaba, Marine Drive) we will pass by various historical areas of interest and we’ll stop at Dhobi Ghat, the largest open air laundry in the world. If you’re staying in North Mumbai such as Bandra or Juhu, then we will go directly to Dharavi.
