Dhobi Ghat, where a traditional laundry man will collect your dirty linen, wash it, and return it neatly pressed to your doorstep. After city tours we drive to the Dharavi for slum tours
Prepare your self for at least 1 and a half walk inside Dharavi slums.In this tours, you will see why Dharavi is the heart of small scale industries in Mumbai (annual turnover is approximately US$ 665 million). We show you a wide range of these activities- from recycling, the making of clay pots, embroidery, bakery, soap factory, leather tanning, papad (poppadom) making and many others, most of which take place in very small spaces.
We also pass by the residential areas, where you really get a feel of how the people are living and you see the sense of community and spirit that exists in the area. People from all over India and from all religions live in Dharavi, and you will see this diversity- for example there are Hindu temples, mosques and churches. It is quite an adventure to pass through the narrow alleys, and you will almost certainly lose your sense of direction!
