Details

Dharavi is now infamous across the world - mainly because of Slumdog Millionaire, but for many other reasons besides. It has one of the most impressive recycling industries in the world, and has been hailed by HRH Prince Charles as a model for sustainable living.

There is a lot to see here - something totally different to tourist Mumbai, but equally - if not more - inspiring.

Mohammed has been conducting tours of Dharavi slum in Mumbai for the six years. He can tailor the tours totally to your interests - from a few hours to a few days. He knows all the spots people want to see, and some less obvious Dharavi sights. Mohammed lives in Dharavi so he can usually help you to find whatever you're looking for.

Mohammed used to work nights in a call centre doing data entry, and learn English all day - with very little time left for sleep. He happened to meet an English woman called Jodie Underhill who was doing research in to recycling processes in India. He took her to see more rubbish and recycling than she could ever have hoped for and the idea was born .. Mohammed's Dharavi Slum Tours.

He has since given tours to tourists from across the world - the UK, Germany, Sweden, Australia, France, Italy, Spain, USA - and to journalists and documentary photographers. This has enabled many people to see the real Dharavi in a genuine way which directly benefits the people of Dharavi - and it has enabled Mohammed to improve his English and meet and learn from people across the world.

"I loved everything that Mumbai had to offer but the highlight of my stay there was my time in Dharavi with Mohammed and his family. I have been to India a number of times as a tourist, but this tour taught me a lot about the people of Mumbai and of India, the problems they face and the ways in which they overcome these problems. It was truly inspiring." UK tourist
