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.

"Had a marvellous Dharavi tour this weekend for 1.5 hrs.Tour guide Paras was very categorical in telling that this was not a slum tour for showing poverty to foreigners but to show them the reality about entrepreneurial inhabitats of Dharavi who work vey hard for their daily needs.\nAfter taking this tour i feel a proud indian and a proud mumbaikar.Would definetly recommend this to every mumbaikar and to every indian to see dharavi from a perspective other than one projected by hollywood movies"

I did not like too many foreigner visiting this place and this is the only impression that they carry back to their country and speak bad about our country.
