Take a tour through Dharavi, Asia’s largest slum. The tour introduces you to the enterprise of the slum dwellers. You will see the various small scale industries buzzing inside the slum: from leather tanneries, to pottery, plastic recycling, cloth dyeing, cleaning and recycling of oil drums, and machine-tool making. Reality Tours and Travels.Some slum!

Obviously, some of them are trying.
