Mumbai's indigenous communities have somehow gotten lost as the city has become more and more cosmopolitan. To get back to Mumbai's original culture and routes, take a tour of Sanjay Gandhi National Park and spend time with the Warli tribe that lives there to know more about Mumbai's original heritage and culture.
Go Hallu Hallu is a unique touring company that helps you discover people, birds , plants and waterbodies and tries to put you in their shoes to know and understand the culture better. The company hosts a Dahisar River Walk/Dahisar Monsoon River Walk regularly. This walk helps you understand the oldest inhabitants of Mumbai, the Warlis, better and learn more about how they co-exist with wild animals (as there are 40 free leopards in the park!) and to understand their sustainable livelihood.
This walk includes breakfast and lunch at a tribal household, a walk along the Dahisar river which runs through SGNP, a Warli art workshop and even sustainable fishing (when the season permits). The walk is hosted by Aslam, who is Go Hallu Hallu's co-founder and Dinesh, who's part of the Warli tribe.
You can check their Instagram page for the latest tours. This tour is conducted on Sundays from 8 AM to 2 PM.
