4. Dharavi

   The tour of Dharavi slum starts at Mahim Railway Station. Asia's largest slum, Dharavi, lies on prime property right in the middle of India's financial capital, Mumbai (Bombay). The Dharavi slum was founded in 1883 during the British colonial era, and grew in part because of an expulsion of factories and residents from the peninsular city center by the colonial government, and from the migration of poor rural Indians into urban Mumbai. For this reason, Dharavi is a highly multi-religious, multi-ethnic, and diverse settlement. It has an active informal economy in which numerous household enterprises employ many of the slum residents. Leather goods, embroidered garments, textiles, pottery and plastic products are among the goods made inside Dharavi. Most of these products are made in tiny manufacturing units spread across the slum and are sold in domestic as well as international markets. Once your tour will be finished you will be driven back to fixed point / your hotel.
