Beschrijving

De thuisbasis van meer dan 1 miljoen mensen en vol met huizen, recyclingeenheden en multireligieuze structuren, "Dharavi" verbaast elke bezoeker. Deze tour gelooft in het doorbreken van veel stereotypen over de sloppenwijken die hen in een kwaad daglicht stellen. Met veel kleinschalige industrieën is Dharavi feitelijk ook een grote werkgelegenheidsgenerator voor het gewone volk. Kijk hoe de Spirited “Dabbawala”-werklieden de Tiffin-dozen van de lokale bevolking van Mumbai vervoeren, en kijk ook naar de mannen in actie in een openluchtwasserij, de “Dhobi ghat”.

Reisroute

Toegang inbegrepen60 min

10:00 uur De gasten worden opgehaald door de gids van het hotel en rijden naar het Churchgate Railway Station, waar ze de Dabbawalas zullen zien uitstappen van de Dabbas (Tiffins) in de houten kar van de trein. 10:30 uur Op het Churchgate-station zal de gast zien hoe de mensen in de ticketbalie Q staan ​​en hun kaartjes pakken om hun kantoren te bereiken. Nu zullen de gasten worden begeleid naar het platform om de lokale trein naar Mahalaxmi Station te nemen. De lokale trein is het belangrijkste vervoermiddel in Mumbai. . Deze Tour geeft je de kans om de lokale trein van Mumbai te ervaren. We reizen in First Class Compartment en reizen van Zuid naar Noord Mumbai wanneer er geen publiek is.

Toegang inbegrepen120 min

11:00 uur Gasten die aankomen op het treinstation Mahalaxmi worden bediend door de Mumbai Suburban Railways. Het station ligt naast de gemeentelijke dhobi ghats in Mahalakshmi, aan de rand van Mumbai. De meeste Dabbawala's gaan naar het Mahalaxmi Station omdat alle kantoren zich in de buurt bevinden. Hier sorteren de Dabbawalas de Tiffin-boxen op basis van de markeringen op de Tiffins wat gebiedsmatig gebeurt. Een korte introductie hier met de dabbawala's en hun exacte arrangementen hoe de tiffin's worden gecodeerd en op het juiste moment op de juiste plaats worden gedistribueerd. De Tiffins worden op de houten kist gezet die 150 Tiffins draagt ​​en wordt aangedreven door 3- 4 Dabbawalas in verschillende richtingen voor levering op de fiets. 12: 00-12: 30 uur De gasten worden geëscorteerd van het Mahalaxmi-station. De gasten gaan door naar de Open Air Laundry, ook bekend als DHOBI GHAT. Een unieke eigenschap van Mumbai, de dhobi is een traditionele wasman, die je vieze wasgoed verzamelt, wast het en retourneert het netjes op een steenworp afstand. Alles voor een schijntje. De "wasserijen" worden "Ghats" genoemd: rij na rij betonnen waspennen, elk voorzien van een eigen geseltsteen. De kleren werden gedrenkt in schuimend water, gesmeten op de geselingende stenen, vervolgens in enorme vaten met kokend zetmeel gegooid en uitgehangen om te drogen.

Toegang inbegrepen120 min

Meer dan de helft van de inwoners van Mumbai moet in sloppenwijken wonen om te kunnen overleven in de dure megastad. “Dharavi” is een uitverkoren plek geworden voor zulke bewoners en herbergt een gierende bevolking van minstens een half miljoen mensen. Velen geloven dat tours naar “Dharavi” beroemd zijn geworden vanwege het succes van de Oscar-winnende film “Slumdog Millionaire”. Onze lokale sloppenwijkgids neemt je mee door het gecommercialiseerde gebied van de sloppenwijk waar veel kleinschalige huisjes/recyclingeenheden actief zijn. Vooral het recyclen van schroot/industrieel afval is een grote onderneming in Dharavi en de lokale bevolking verzamelt materialen uit de hele stad. Afgedankte materialen worden naar de kleine werkplaatsen gebracht om ze schoon te maken, te verwerken en te recyclen, bijvoorbeeld van oude aluminium blikjes tot plastic stoelen

An eye opening, unforgettable tour of real Mumbai

We had an amazing tour with Shruti to the Dabbawalas, Dhobi Ghat and Dharavi, and she was fantastic. She spoke very clear, fluent English and explained everything in so much detail. Her knowledge was impressive — she answered every question confidently and gave us real insight into how everything works behind the scenes. What stood out most was how respectful and informative she was, especially in Dharavi. She helped us understand the community and businesses there in a completely different light. She was friendly, professional and made the whole experience engaging from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend!

Exceptional Guide, Incredible Insight – A Must-Do Mumbai Experience

We had the most incredible tour with Shruti visiting the Dabbawalas, Dhobi Ghat and Dharavi slums. From start to finish she was absolutely brilliant. Her English was excellent, which made everything so easy to understand, and she explained every detail with such clarity and passion. You could tell she was extremely knowledgeable — not just repeating facts, but truly understanding the history, systems and social impact behind everything we saw. The Dabbawala system was fascinating, and she broke it down in a way that made it simple yet impressive. At Dhobi Ghat she explained the entire laundry process step by step, and in Dharavi she gave us a respectful, insightful view of the community, the industries and the real story behind what people often misunderstand. She was warm, professional, patient with questions and made us feel completely comfortable throughout. It didn’t feel rushed at all — she made sure we really absorbed the experience. I would highly recommend Shruti to anyone wanting an authentic, educational and well-guided tour of Mumbai. She truly made the experience unforgettable.

An incredibly insightful tour with brilliant local guide

Sajid was an absolutely brilliant guide and made our day in Mumbai unforgettable. He took us to see the dabbawalas, Dhobi Ghat, and Dharavi with such knowledge and respect, bringing each place to life through fascinating local insight. Everything was perfectly organised, and he made us feel comfortable the whole time while giving us a real, authentic window into the city. We couldn’t recommend Sajid highly enough!

Excellent

This comprehensive tour took us to three places. First, the huge open air laundry which turns over a massive amount of cleaning each day. Secondly, the living area (workplace and residential quarters) of a “slum” area and, finally, the place where home-cooked meals are delivered to workers in the city in lunch boxes. Each experience left us amazed at what was being achieved and we felt we gained a better understanding of these aspects of life in Mumbai. The tour was enhanced by the knowledge and interest of our guide and the fact that we got around using local trains and buses. Highly recommend this tour.
