Multi-faceted Mumbai is a city that requires you to dig below its surface in order to properly appreciate it. Unfortunately, many visitors leave Mumbai without touching the city's soul. These fascinating Mumbai tours offer unique opportunities to really get to know the city.
Dharavi Slum
Mumbai's Dharavi slum has the dubious honor of being the largest slum in Asia, and you can explore this seething mass of humanity for yourself on one of these tours. Rather than being a depressing experience, the tour aims to break the negative stereotype associated with the slum. Put aside your initial apprehensions and you'll discover a place that's alive with small scale industries and high community spirit. What's even better is that 80% of the profits from these tours are given to local organizations who work for the less privileged members of society.
