We've all seen a glamorised version of Dharavi at the movies. Be it the recent Gully Boy, or Slumdog Millionaire, one of Asia's biggest slums isn't just that. Dharavi is a world within a world, and has a lot to offer to the city of Mumbai, and beyond. And there's a slum tour happening in the upcoming weekend that you must attend.

Watch the content locals, and eat the simple yet delicious home cooked meal they prepare.
