We had a wonderful & eloquent guide - Priscilla - who gave us a thorough tour of Dharavi slum and a first hand experience at that. It was eye opening and very heartening to see different communities living in harmony and functioning well. We wish all the best for the community. Everyone should pay this place a visit for a well-informed experience. Thank you Priscilla & Mumbai Experience.
