    11:00 Hrs Guests arrives at Mahalaxmi Railway Station is served by the Mumbai Suburban Railways. The station is situated next to municipal dhobi ghats at Mahalakshmi, on the suburb of Mumbai. Most of the Dabbawalas get down at Mahalaxmi Station as all the Corporate offices are in this vicinity. Here the Dabbawalas sort out the Tiffin Boxes based on the markings on the Tiffins which is done area wise. A brief introduction here with the dabbawalas and their exact arrangements how the tiffin's are coded and distributed at the right place at the right time. The Tiffins are put on the Wooden Crate which carries 150 Tiffins and driven by 3- 4 Dabbawalas in different directions for delivery on the bicycle. 12:00-12:30 Hrs The Guests will escorted out from the Mahalaxmi Station. The guests will proceed to the Open Air Laundry firmly known as DHOBI GHAT. A unique feature of Mumbai, the dhobi is a traditional laundryman, who will collect your dirty linen, wash it, and return it neatly pressed to your doorstep. All for a pittance. The "laundries" are called "Ghats": row upon row of concrete wash pens, each fitted with its own flogging stone. The clothes are soaked in sudsy water, thrashed on the flogging stones, then tossed into huge vats of boiling starch and hung out to dry.

  • Dharavi

    More than half of the citizens of Mumbai have to live in slums in order to survive in the costly mega city. ā€œDharaviā€, has become a chosen spot for such dwellers and it hosts a whooping population of at least half a million. Many believe that tours to ā€œDharaviā€ become famous because of the success of the Oscar winning movie ā€œSlumdog Millionaireā€. Our local slum guide shall take you through the commercialized area of the slum where many small scale cottage units / recycling units operate. Especially scrap / industrial waste recycling is a big enterprise in Dharavi and the locals scavenge materials from all over the city. Discarded materials are brought upto the little workshops for cleaning, processing and recyclling them, for example from old Aluminum cans to plastic chairs
