Program
Walk with a local guide
and meet the real Dharavi beyond the headlines
Depending on your option, meet your guide at Churchgate station or Mahim station and head to Dharavi. The tour begins with a safety briefing and is run in a community-focused way so as not to disturb residents. It is operated by a responsible travel company, and 80% of the proceeds are reinvested in community education initiatives.
Explore small industries such as recycling, pottery and leather
Dharavi is home to about 20,000 businesses. See workshops for recycling, pottery, embroidery, baking, soap making, leather tanning and papad making, and go up to a rooftop for a view over the whole settlement.
Walk the lanes of Kumbhar Wada and the residential areas
Pass through Kumbhar Wada, the potters' quarter, and the residential areas, walking the maze-like lanes and stopping to chat with friendly locals. With people from all over India living here, Dharavi is a miniature India, and its diversity shows in the temples, mosques, churches and pagodas standing side by side.
Add a pottery experience or a home-cooked lunch, depending on your option
With the pottery workshop option, you try pottery yourself in Kumbhar Wada. With the family lunch option, after the walking tour you sit on the floor in a local family's home, eat a simple vegetarian home-cooked meal with your hands and talk with your hosts about daily life. The duration is about 2 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours 30 minutes depending on the option.
