Wet but entertaining - An excellent tour of the slums. Unfortunately the August weather came out In full force and decided to open the heavens. Umbrellas at the ready. If you are doing this make sure you take one and also a coat but only if it’s breathable. Some good waterproof shoes would be great especially if visiting in. June July or August. The weather stopped the full dhobi ghat visit but the train journey is well worth the experience. The slum itself is mind blowing. Nothing like we expected. The businesses are amazing. The plastic recyclers, the fabric workers, the leather tanners and the pottery makers. Real tradesman.

Slums of Daharavi - Beautiful experience in the slum, very good driving. It is an experience that I highly recommend to do because it is not often you see places like these. Important to have this experience with the guide.

Amazing walk in Slam - Amazing experience through the most narrow and hidden streets of Mumbai. You cannot see this reality unless you try it, it should be part of the trip in Mumbai.
