Description
Rencontrez les Dabbawalas de Mumbai! Pour tous ceux qui sont déjà allés à Mumbai, les Dabbawalas sont une classe spéciale de personnes que tout le monde connaît ! Pour les non-initiés cependant - Qui est un Dabbawalla ? Le sens le plus proche du dabbawala en anglais serait le "livreur de boîtes à lunch" >Dhobi Ghat (Blanchisserie en plein air) (Mahalaxmi Dhobi Ghat) est une laverie en plein air bien connue à Mumbai, en Inde. Les laveuses, connues localement sous le nom de Dhobis, travaillent en plein air pour laver les vêtements des hôtels et des hôpitaux de Mumbai.

(Visite des bidonvilles) Le plus grand bidonville d'Asie, Dharavi, se trouve sur une propriété de choix en plein milieu de la capitale financière indienne, Mumbai. Dharavi est bien plus qu'un quartier historique de la pauvreté de Mumbai. La plupart de ces choses sont créées de manière innovante, dans de très petits espaces !

Rencontrez les Dabbawalas de Mumbai! Pour tous ceux qui sont déjà allés à Mumbai, les Dabbawalas sont une classe spéciale de personnes que tout le monde connaît ! Pour les non-initiés cependant - Qui est un Dabbawalla ? Le mot "dabbawala" en hindi, lorsqu'il est traduit littéralement, signifie "celui qui porte une boîte". "Dabba" désigne une boîte (généralement un récipient cylindrique en fer blanc ou en aluminium). Le sens le plus proche du dabbawala en anglais serait le "livreur de boîtes à lunch" Chaque jour dans toute la ville de Mumbai, 5 000 dabbawalas livrent quelque 130 000 dabbas aux bureaux de la métropole. En près de 120 ans d'existence de ce service, l'approche des dabbawalas est restée constante : une main-d'œuvre semi-alphabétisée (les dabbawalas) récupère les dabbas garnis auprès des ménages qui les préparent et livre les boîtes aux bureaux requis ; ils récupèrent ensuite les dabbas vides de ces points de livraison et les restituent aux ménages d'origine, afin de recommencer le processus le lendemain.

I haven't stopped talking to friends about the experiences from the tour. My local guide Bharti brought so much energy and knowledge to the tour, and with it being her home made you feel very welcome, ie. Not just feeling like another tourist with a camera. You will see a side of the world like no other doing this tour. Plenty of opportunities to get refreshments along the way, as it's Mumbai heat after all! Thanks for an unforgettable day out, Bharti. And for the recipe suggestions!

It has enabled us to fully immerse ourselves in the world of Mumbai. We have rarely had such a competent and at the same time friendly guide. He took us into his world and thus gave us very deep insights. Thank you, dear Abhi. When we get back to Mumbai, we will explicitly ask for Abhi at Mumbai Dream Tours.

We had a small issue with the meeting point, but as I've experienced on other tours, it appears to be a viator and not a tour operator issue. It was fixed with a quick message to Viator and the exact meeting point is the ticket office at Churchgate train station. Rakesh was an excellent guide and provided a day of memorable experiences. All 3 activities were fascinating, as was the local train and taxi rides. I would definitely recommend Rakesh and the tour to anyone visiting Mumbai.
