Mumbai Slum Tour

Destinations : Mumbai

The Samaritans and lots of tourists now want to explore the slums of Mumbai. The slum tourism in Mumbai became more popular after the Oscar Winning Slumdog Millionaire. However lots of tourists earlier also visited the slums to Mumbai to explore the other side of India. You may think the slums are symbolism of poor side of India, when you virtually tour the slums this concept might diminish. The Largest slum settlement of Asia is Dharavi, Mumbai which covers an area of 530 acres of land. It has been turned into a sub city from a damp marshy land.

Why you will visit the Dharavi slums of Mumbai? You will see here a different world of fun and laughter. The slum dwellers are poor, but they lead a jovial life. They nest at the shanties amidst the dominating skyscrapers. It is startling to see their hard life of struggling, their survival, their liveliness, their sadness, happiness…The Samaritans might feel for their survival struggle and want to raise their helping hand. So, charity slum tours to Mumbai are also arranged by us.

Dharavi slum is home to ten lakh population approximately. It is the throbbing centre of markets, manufacturing grids, one- room cinemas, public schools and shanties. The original inhabitants are the potter’s community of Khumbarwada area. One will surprise to know that the slum dwellers of Mumbai produce the highest dolls and potteries of India.
