Private Dharavi Tour & City Sightseeing

About this journey

Through our educational walking tours, visitors experience a wide range of these business activities: recycling, pottery-making, embroidery, bakery, soap factory, leather tanning, poppadom-making, and many more. We’ll also visit the residential areas of Dharavi. People from all over India have come to live in Dharavi, making it a microcosm of India. This diversity is apparent in the temples, mosques, churches, and pagodas that stand side by side. Our community centre that is funded through the profits from the tours, is also located in the residential area. We will visit it, and you will learn about the programs that our NGO, Reality Gives, offers the community. After your 2.5-hour introduction to Dharavi, you can either have a vegetarian lunch with a local family in the area (not included in the price) or you can go to a restaurant of your choice (we can provide some suggestions). In the afternoon we will show you other, more traditional sights that Mumbai has to offer such as Haji Ali Mosque, Mahalaxmi Temple, Malabar Hill, Banganga Tank, Jain Temple, Mani Bhavan. You can also see some of Mumbai’s bustling markets like Bhuleshwar and Chor Bazaar. For more information about the sights we generally see in the afternoon, see our Sightseeing by Car page. This tour is individually designed for you, and you can do and see as little or as much as you please. The tour guide, who also has detailed knowledge of the more traditional sights, will be with you for the day. He can give some suggestions for what to see, but ultimately, the itinerary is completely up to you. Hightlights: 1. Dhobi Ghat 2. Recycling Area 3. Diverse communities and small scale industries 4.
