As the guide was a local, it was helpful to have his insights as to life in Dharavi. Dharavi is, in reality, like a small town. There are schools, businesses, shops etc. Residents work in Dharavi, as well as travelling into local areas and the city centre for work. The reality is that the place is very cramped - by the nature of the building. Early types of accomodation have more rooms per dwelling than later ones. For many of the later additions, it will be only one room for three or four people. My guide was Dawaad with Amaze Mumbai Tours. He was excellent.
It was the best experience in Mumbai for me and my group of 7 friends. Thanks to Rahul for quick response, lucky us booked an excursion 2h before. Our guide Mayur is very profesional and did his best for us! We’ve seen… EVERYTHING! We are very impressed, especially of the conditions people live and how happy they are! People there are so smily, friendly and warm. Please do not be afraid to go for this experience, it definitely worths it. You will be shocked, but it is really not bad small, not a lot trash, no dangerous people etc. We did slum excursion, had a pottery lesson and beatiful ladies did henna for us. Guys, i wish you good luck, improve yourself and stay so happy!
Today one of my dreams came true. My friends and I visited the Dharavi slum. It was a very interesting excursion. And it was only thanks to our friendly guide. He told interesting stories, answered all our questions and showed us all the corners of Dharavi. I highly recommend it to everyone, it's not scary at all. Dharavi will definitely surprise you.
Just did the Dharavi Slum Tour guided by Subhan. He was a helpful guide and knowledgeable to tell you history of the Slum. Really an eyes opening tour that you can see how the people can live within the Slum and how they survive in such away . Better understand more about Mumbai how labour are work within the slum for living . Anyway, seeing is believing you shall come here to have a tour on your own .
