Dharavi is not a spectacle — it is a manufacturing district with an annual turnover in the hundreds of millions. This walk is led by guides who live there, and 80% of the fee goes back into local education projects.

Photography is not permitted, which is the point: you spend the time watching instead.

S Sarah Klein Toronto · August 2026

Not what I expected, in the best way

I was nervous this would feel voyeuristic. It didn't at all — our guide grew up there and it was clearly his neighbourhood, not an exhibit. The no-photography rule is exactly right.
