Visiting Mumbai’s upscale areas like the Gateway of India and Marine Drive can make one forget that about 60% of the city lives in slums, with Dharavi—home to at least half a million people and made famous by Slumdog Millionaire—being the largest. The tour has two parts: first, a walk through Dharavi’s commercial zone, where recycling is a major industry and workers process everything from aluminum cans to plastic chairs, while others produce items like biscuits and pottery. A rooftop stop offers a striking view of the settlement’s vast scale. Led by an English-speaking local guide, the tour starts from a central Mumbai location and takes you through the heart of Dharavi, sharing its history, introducing you to its residents, and offering an authentic look at their daily life and living conditions.
