Itinerary

Tour Itinerary

Meet your guide at Third Wave Coffee and... 2 hours

Meet your guide at Third Wave Coffee and step into Dharavi, one of Mumbai’s most vibrant yet often misunderstood neighborhoods. Explore its bustling industrial area where recycling, leatherwork, pottery, food production, and textiles showcase creativity and resilience. Then wander into the narrow residential lanes filled with everyday life — children playing, families cooking, and neighbors chatting across doorsteps. Hear stories of both challenges and community pride that define life here. The walk concludes in Kumbharwada, the historic potters’ colony, where artisans shape clay pots using traditions passed down for generations. Returning to the starting point, you’ll leave with a deeper, more human understanding of Dharavi — not just its struggles, but its energy, innovation, and remarkable spirit.
