Mumbai, or ex-Bombay as some might know it is truly a city of contrasts. Famous for being the backdrop of Shantaram and Slumdog Millionaire, the city’s poor and millionaires live a few blocks from each other and slums like Dharavi are more popular than Taj Mahal. In Dharavi, amidst dirt and overpopulation, a private, affordable school offers hope through education. Explore Kamathipura, Asia's largest red-light district and its gangs, and witness Dharavi's vibrant economy fuelled by leather bag workshops and recycling. We’ll walk through Mumbai's bustling streets, see packed restaurants, and ride its crowded trains. Marvel at stunning sunsets while learning about into India's rich religion scene and the vibrant world of Bollywood. Join me to explore how India lives today!
