Visita a Dharavi y taller de cerámica
Descripción
Ve más allá de los titulares y explora el verdadero Dharavi en nuestro tour de barrios marginales de Dharavi con residentes locales que lo llaman su hogar. Liderado por una empresa de viajes responsable, este tour apoya directamente las iniciativas de desarrollo local. Los visitantes experimentan una amplia gama de estas actividades empresariales : reciclaje, alfarería, curtido de cuero, fabricación de poppadom, etc. También visitaremos las zonas residenciales de Dharavi. Kumbharwada es una de las comunidades más antiguas y atractivas de Dharavi, hogar de su próspera industria alfarera. Pase unas horas con nosotros aprendiendo sobre la rica historia de la comunidad y cómo se convirtió en el centro de la fabricación de cerámica en Mumbai. Verás de dónde viene el material, cómo se prepara, moldea y finalmente cuece. También nos pondremos manos a la obra, visitaremos un taller de alfareros local, donde obtendremos una visión general de la fabricación de cerámica y tendremos una oportunidad de lanzar ruedas y hacer una pieza de arte de Kumbharwada.

Itinerario
Conocido por muchos como "uno de los barrios marginales más grandes de Asia", preferimos pensar en Dharavi como el corazón palpitante de Mumbai. A través de nuestros recorridos educativos a pie, los visitantes experimentan una amplia gama de estas actividades comerciales: reciclaje, alfarería, bordado, panadería, fábrica de jabón, curtido de cuero, fabricación de poppadom y muchas más. También visitaremos las áreas residenciales y echaremos un vistazo al arte callejero en Dharavi. Personas de toda la India han venido a vivir a Dharavi, convirtiéndolo en un microcosmos de la India. Esta diversidad es evidente en los murales, templos, mezquitas, iglesias y pagodas que se encuentran uno al lado del otro.
Los invitados pueden disfrutar de un refresco y obtener más información sobre cómo se reinvierten los fondos en la comunidad.

Excellent tour with Bipin. He gave us a very insightful tour allowing us to gain a better understanding of what life is like for people living and working in the Dharavi slum. We saw a mixture of everything and the pottery workshop was a fantastic addition that we would highly recommend.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear you had an insightful experience with Bipin and enjoyed learning more about life in Dharavi. We will be sure to share your kind words with him. We are also glad you loved the pottery workshop. Thank you for your recommendation!
Excellent tour of Dharavi slum with Chetan. For those who don't know, Reality Tours is the original slum tour, and is run by a charity that provides job education for residents of the slum. So you can get a cultural education and help the people of Dharavi at the same time. The tour takes you through shops and residential areas, and then some of the many "factories" that operate out of Dharavi. You finish up at a pottery workshop where you can try your hand at throwing some jars -- as an experienced potter, the unfamiliar clay and tools made that more of a challenge than I expected. Chetan was very knowledgable about Dharavi (he used to live there) and keen to show all the parts of the "slum". Note that a Mumbai slum isn't like an American slum; it's more like a Mexican maquiladora. Wear very study shoes for this one.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We are so glad you enjoyed your Dharavi tour with Chetan and appreciated learning about the community and its industries. We will be sure to share your kind words with Chetan. Thank you for supporting our mission, and we hope to welcome you again on another tour!
Great tour and great to see that slum doesn’t have to mean crime and poverty. People live full, employed lives, children are educated - but living conditions are so cramped. Wonderful that our tour actually benefits the slum community. Thank you. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and heartfelt review. We are really glad the tour helped show a different perspective — that a slum is not defined by crime, but by hardworking people, strong communities, education, and resilience, even in very challenging and cramped living conditions. That understanding is exactly what we hope every guest takes away. It also means a lot to us that you value the fact that the tour directly benefits the local community. Supporting education and community initiatives is at the core of what we do. Thank you for your recommendation — we truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you again in the future.
The tour was amazing, Rehana shared so much information with us and I love how the profits go back to the community - definitely worth the add on of the pottery too!
