Tours Of Cause has planned a heritage walk, a small group of like-minded individuals, visiting places that aren't your usual run-of-the-mill spots in the city.
Spend a gorgeous morning soaking in the history of more than a century-old Sassoon Docks in the heart of Colaba. This tour will provide a glimpse into the lives and cultures of Koli and Banjara communities inhabiting and working at the Docks. Cultures that have been fairly intact since the Docks were first built. Built more than 140 years ago in 1875 by a Baghdadi Jew named David Sassoon, Sassoon Docks is the oldest in the city and one of the largest fishing markets in Mumbai today. This iconic heritage site bustles with people and fishing activities every day making it a photographer's delight. But there is much more to Sassoon Docks.
The tour will also expose you to the recent history of the docks. Sassoon Docks has been at the epicenter of crimes that shook Mumbai in the past. At the same time, the docks have featured in numerous Bollywood movies and a closer look at the new and the old docks will remind you of some famous scenes and shots, even some epic Amitabh Bachchan 'The Angry Young Man' movies. Without an early morning tour of Sassoon Docks, a trip to Mumbai would be incomplete.
