What sets our Dharavi walking tour apart is our focus on the human spirit and the incredible $1 billion informal economy that drives this vibrant community. Rather than a voyeuristic look at poverty, we provide a respectful, guided exploration of Dharavi’s world-renowned recycling sector, legendary Kumbharwada pottery colony, and thriving leather workshops. Our local guides—who often call these streets home—offer an 'insider' perspective on how a million residents turn 2 square kilometers into a global hub of productivity and entrepreneurship. We prioritize ethical tourism and privacy, ensuring a meaningful cultural exchange that challenges stereotypes and celebrates the resilience of the real 'Maximum City'.
What's Included

The meetup spot is Third Wave Cafe, located directly across from Mahim Railway Station. The guide will be present 15 minutes before the tour to meet you. The walk will commence from this point. If you need additional help, please reach out to us on WhatsApp.
