Our Local Student based tour organization would like to welcome you to a tour in Dharavi, world most populated slum. We show guests unexpected and interesting sights of Dharavi not normally seen by casual visitors. Dharavi is not only residential space, but also a major economic hub representing the city's vast Informal sector. In fact, in many parts it seems as if residential spaces have been carved out from the tiny surplus left over from economic activities such as recycling industries, leather tanneries, heavy metal work, wood work, and manufactured goods like garments, shoes, luggage and jewellery. Industries generally serve all of Mumbai and many products are even distributed in global market. That is why Dharavi is known as "Mumbai's Shadow City." With the help of students of dharavi "Be The Local" is trying to dispel the negative image of Dharavi. By participating in the tour with Be the Local, you are helping the students of dharavi.
