one of our cars- a Tata “Sumo” 7 seater On this tour you travel in the comfort of an a/c car. We pick you up from your hotel and head to Dharavi, passing areas of interest en route such as a boys′ shelter, Kamathipura (red light area) and Dhobi Ghat (big open air laundry).

When in Dharavi we will be exploring the area on foot- the only way to really see it- but it will not be strenuous, and there is always the option of returning to the car!

Throughout the tour, both in the car and inside Dharavi we will show and explain to you areas that are not in the tourist guides, but give an insight about issues facing the less privileged members of society.

Cost
Cost is Rs 3,200 total for up to 5 people. For those people staying in Bandra, Juhu, the Airport area and the suburbs of Mumbai, please note the additional charges (discussed below).

Timings
You can decide whether you wish to do the tour in the morning (8.30am start from your hotel) or in the evening (2pm start from your hotel). They run on weekends and public holidays. The morning tour takes approximately 4 12 hours and the afternoon tour about 5 hours due to the extra traffic (on Monday to Friday).

It might be possible to do a private long tour outside of these timings. For example, you may have a very limited time in Mumbai and you may need an airport pick up/drop. Please contact us to make an enquiry.

Meeting point
Reception of your hotel

Camera policy
We have a strict no cameras policy.

Booking
Please contact us, by email, phone or by visiting the office to make a booking.

*NB FOR PEOPLE NOT STAYING IN COLABA/ MARINE DRIVE/FORT:
Please note that to see all the areas of interest on the way to Dharavi, you need to start from Colaba, Marine Drive, or the Fort Area. For tourists staying in other parts of Mumbai we can advise on what will and will not be included in the tour depending on the location of your hotel.

For hotels north of Mahim, such as Bandra, Juhu and the Airport area, only the Dharavi element of the tour is included and hence it might be worth considering doing the short tour. The cost of the private long tour will be greater as well due to extra time and distance for us. We charge an additional Rs 500 for Juhu and Airport hotels, and Rs 200 for Bandra. For other areas, please enquire.
