This was my second trip with World of Bollywood Tours, because the first one (Best of Mumbai Private City Tour with Lunch and Transport) was so good.
I figured I couldn't see Dharavi without a guide and this proved to be the case. You would never be able to navigate without a guide and you wouldn't really have any context for what you would see.
Yahya, my guide, was born there and lives there still. He took me on a 90+ minute route through a maze of passageways, roads and alleys. Dharavi is a hive of activity, every few steps you'll see something new. Yahya explained how the industrial and residential parts of the community work. For example, he showed me how plastics are gathered, broken down and sorted, cleaned, dried, turned into pellets, etc. For example, he showed how cardboard gets cleaned up and repurposed. He showed where people live, go to school, the doctors, etc. He answered about a million of my questions with great graciousness and a pride of his community.
I didn't take many photos. It seemed disrespectful and I heard that it might be considered rude. I don't think photos or videos could really do justice to the experience anyway.
I found it very inspiring. Dharavi seems to do a fantastic job of recycling, reusing and repurposing. Don't we all need to do this? The amount of human endeavour and enterprise truly impressed me. Slum seems a pejorative term for Dharavi. I won't be using it.
Tiger, who took me round the city on my previous tour, picked me up again from my hotel. It was good to see him. He took me by cab to Dharavi and brought me back by train. I don't know if this was standard, but he knew I hadn't ridden the train and wanted to. I got to lean out of the carriage door like a local and see how the system works.
Thank you Yahya. Thank you Tiger. I highly recommend this tour.

Excellent guide. Did a great job. Explained the rationale behind the area. Coming from Australia it can be confronting. However our guide explained while it works for his people.
Highly recommend.
