Dharavi - Asia's Largest Slum

Dharavi, located in the heart of the city is Asia's largest slum. Crammed to the core, this is one of the most inhospitable place I've ever been to. Don't be surprised, goods produced here are exported throughout the world and Dharavi boasts a turnover of around US$ 600 million.
