Dharavi is one of the largest slums in Asia, located in Mumbai, India. It has a population of around 1 million people and covers an area of 2.1 square kilometers. Despite its reputation as a slum, Dharavi is a vibrant and bustling community with a thriving informal economy. It is home to a wide range of industries, including leather, textiles, pottery, and recycling.

If you’re interested in learning more about Dharavi and its culture, there are many walking tours available that are led by local guides. These tours offer visitors the opportunity to explore the slum, meet its residents, and learn about the challenges and opportunities facing the community. However, it’s important to keep in mind that Dharavi is also a home for many people, and it’s important to be respectful and mindful of their privacy and dignity.
