About Dharavi Slum

Dharavi, Asia’s largest slum, invites many curious eyes because of the sheer vastness of it. It is counted among one of the places to visit in Mumbai because of the slum houses as many as a million people crammed in pint-sized houses, dirty bylanes, open drains, and extremely filthy living conditions in average.

Located in the very heart of Mumbai, the Dharavi slum stretches between two of Mumbai’s major rail lines, which is what makes it such a convenient location to travel for work for the folk who live here. In a city where rents are sky high, Dharavi offers rather low rent for people who move into the city.

You can find a room complete with a cooking gas and a small colour TV for as low as 185 rupees a month. Dharavi has many small-scale businesses thriving, manufacturing everything from garments to pots and pans. The products are sold in local as well as international markets, where they are exported.

The annual turnover for these products is as much as 650 million dollars a year. Visit Dharavi to see the lifestyle of those living here, for it is not every day you get to step inside Asia’s largest slum.

Wanted to take my kids here, for obvious reasons. Our tour guide Dev was very pleasant and helpful. The service was flawless by the locals. It was very safe, with maximum efforts taken for safety. Kids were not scared, rather amused and thoughtful. Saw the various mosques, churches and temples - diversity in the purest form. Everything was well planned out. You should bring your kids here once. Thanks Thrillophilia.

As people say the heart of Mumbai is Dharavi. Even I think that is true. Unbelievable place to learn life in a different way. Couldn't even imagine there were places like pottery making, recycling, etc. It was a good learning experience for me. Thanks Thrillophilia.

I always saw Mumbai as a city of dreams and celebrities, and last week on this tour I was able to see the other side of the city, in Dharavi. It was really informative of the guide, Hemanth, to explain to us the hard working lifestyles of the people and what their day-to-day activities and jobs are.

Its called the largest slum in Asia and I am glad I booked this tour to see another side to life. Saw many people engaged in different activities, thanks Thrillophilia for organising offbeat tours like this
