1 Day Mumbai Must-Sees: Main Highlights, Dharavi Slum & Lunch

The tour takes you through the highlights of colonial Mumbai, passing through the Victoria Terminus station, Kalaghoda art district and Gateway of India amongst others. We also take you to meet the Dabbawalas- the logistical wondermen who are known for precisely delivering 2,50,000 ‘dabbas’ or tiffins, to their rightful owners, everyday. The tour also takes you through the Dhobighat – an area where the laundrymen wash the clothes of Mumbai-folks. You will see them flogging and beating the clothes tirelessly to ensure it is devoid of any stain.

Dharavi:
It is the epicentre of Mumbai’s dizzying economic growth. The people here might not be your suit-clad businessmen, but are owners of multi-million dollar companies. These are the people of Dharavi – One of Asia’s largest slums.
In spite of the all the grunginess and squalor, Dharavi is the most bustling and economically proficient part of Mumbai, generating revenue of a staggering billion US Dollars annually.

If you are a first-time traveller to the city and want to explore the Tourist precinct of Mumbai, then this tour is specially designed for you. Covering the various tourist landmarks of Mumbai, this tour quite appropriately starts with the Gateway of India, the emblem of Mumbai tourism.

Landmark Hotel that has hosted the likes of Barack Obama, the Beatles and a host of other celebrities in its century old lifetime.

An iconic statue of Shivaji Maharaj who was a brave Maratha king who fought against the Mughals.

One of the oldest clubs in Mumbai, Royal Mumbai Yacht Club was built by John Adams and Charles Stevens and hence quite appropriately is located between Charles and Adams Street.

A heritage-rich area, here we’ll see the National Gallery of Modern Art, CSMVS Museum, Police Headquarters, Regal Theatre, and the Wellington Fountain.

This is the art area of Mumbai. Here, amidst stories of Sassoon and Jewish history, you will hear stories about the Watson Hotel – the first iron cast building in the city that hosted Mark Twain.

Named after Benjamin Horniman, as a tribute to the editor of the Bombay Chronicle newspaper. Horniman was also known to play a key role in India’s freedom struggle.

Possibly the most architectural stunning building in India, Victoria terminus railway station, now CST, sees a record of six hundred and sixty thousand footfalls daily, making it the busiest station in Mumbai. The first train operated in India departed from here in 1853

Dabbawalas (Shut on weekends) or the 6 sigma workers of Mumbai send over 5, 00, 000 boxes of lunch daily to their rightful owners with extreme precision. Studied by consultants and business schools for the secrets of their proclaimed near-flawless efficiency, the dabbawalas have been feted by British royals (Prince Charles) and titans of industry (Richard Branson) alike. Even FedEx, which supposedly knows something about logistics, has paid them a visit.
