Discover the real Dharavi

The Motherland of Opportunity

Familiar to most by its name, we Being The Local‘s, call Dharavi as "The Motherland of opportunity". Opportunities galore for one who is willing to work hard and innovate and thrive!

At Be The Local, we also empower local full-time students by offering them employment and training as tour guides. This helps them support their education while building confidence through global exposure.

Being The Local’s, we promise you a fascinating getaway that gives you a ringside view of the “Madness and Magic” of Mumbai.

We realized that the attraction to visit a slum has increased due to:

  • Media glorification of the movie Slumdog Millionaire
  • Projects given to students of architecture colleges for Dharavi redevelopment
  • Inspirational stories of small entrepreneurs attracting business school students

We therefore take this as a golden opportunity to offer our services to tourists from all over the globe to come and experience our local neighbourhood — Dharavi & Mumbai.

We have been born and brought up in Aamchee (‘Our’) Mumbai and hence know it like the back of our hand! You’ll discover hidden gems, vibrant people, and an unforgettable mix of sights and stories.
