Dharavi is a locality in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, considered to be one of the world’s largest slums. Dharavi is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Dharavi is no longer Mumbai’s biggest slum. But it is certainly the most well-known, thanks to the film, Slumdog Millionaire, which it inspired and which was partly shot there.

Known to many as ‘one of the largest slums in Asia’, we prefer to think of Dharavi as Mumbai’s beating heart. It houses about one million of Mumbai’s inhabitants and its industries have an annual turnover of approximately US$ 665 million. Through our educational walking tours, visitors experience a wide range of these business activities: recycling, pottery-making, embroidery, bakery, soap factory, leather tanning, poppadom-making and many more. We’ll also visit the residential areas of Dharavi. People from all over India have come to live in Dharavi, making it a microcosm of India. This diversity is apparent in the temples, mosques, churches and pagodas that stand side by side.
