Step beyond the headlines and explore the real Dharavi on our Dharavi Slum Tour with local residents who call it home. Led by a responsible travel company, this tour directly supports local development initiatives. Visitors experience a wide range of these business activities: recycling, pottery-making, leather tanning, poppadom-making, etc. We’ll also visit the residential areas of Dharavi. Kumbharwada is one of Dharavi’s oldest and most compelling communities, home to its thriving pottery industry. Spend a few hours with us learning about the community’s rich history and how it became the hub of pottery making in Mumbai. You will see where the material comes from, how it’s prepared, moulded into shape and finally baked. We will also get hands-on, visiting a local potter’s workshop—where we’ll get a general overview of pottery making and have a go at wheel throwing and making a piece of Kumbharwada art.
