Discover the Heartbeat of Mumbai’s Resilience

When most people hear the word “slum,” they imagine poverty, struggle, and despair. But Dharavi will challenge and transform that perception completely.

Nestled in the heart of Mumbai, Dharavi is one of the largest and most densely populated neighbourhoods in Asia. Home to over a million people, it’s a bustling, self-sustained community that thrives on entrepreneurship, harmony, and innovation.

This walking tour takes you deep into Dharavi’s maze of narrow lanes, giving you a first-hand view of small-scale industries like plastic recycling, leather tanning, textiles, pottery, food production, and more. With an estimated informal economy generating over $1 billion annually, Dharavi is a living case study in microfinance, community strength, and sustainable local business.

You’ll also witness how people live, study, pray, and work together — building a life with limited resources but limitless spirit. From vibrant homes and schools to community centers and marketplaces, Dharavi represents unity in diversity like no other.

Dharavi isn’t chaos — it’s organized resilience. It’s not poverty — it’s people power.
