one of our cars- a Tata “Sumo” 7 seater On this tour you travel in the comfort of an a/c car. We leave from Colaba (the main tourist area) 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 there will be some walking involved- the only way to really see it is on foot- but it will not be very strenuous.

Throughout the tour, we want to 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.
