About this tour

Two respectful hours in one of the world's most talked-about neighbourhoods, with a guide who grew up there. You'll see the recycling units, the potteries of Kumbharwada and the leather and textile workshops that make Dharavi an economic powerhouse.

Then the residential lanes: homes, schools and the community life most visitors never imagine. No photos are taken inside Dharavi, out of respect, and most of the profits go back into community projects.
