Dharavi Slum Tour Mumbai

Dharavi Slums - The east flank of the Mahim Station is dominated by the plastic and metal recycling catacombs of 13th compound. It is amazing to see the heavy machinery’s melting and moulding the plastic pellets for toys and button manufacturers producing Barbie Dolls of India. The delicious aroma from tiny bakeries and sweet shops, the exotic smell of soaps and cosmetics creates new magical incense, one can feel instantaneously. The dime-sized cyber cafes’, mass-producing tailors, altar shapers and the children waving from the precipitous balconies is the most happening in slums that qualifies an active show and tell. Where the mud wells and kilns portray the story of struggle and hardships with each round of the potter’s wheel and unfurl the lustre of this region. Come and had a look what you can’t experience at any other place other than the Brazil's Fevalas and India's Dharavi.
