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.

The Bhandardhara Lake








Crossing the Bhandardhara lake. This is one of the best part of the trek



The Amruteshwar Temple, located in Ratanwadi village, is a beautiful 1000 years old structure built in the Hemadpanthi style.



Reminds me of Periyar lake



Flowery entrance to the fort. Flowers, flowers, flowers....all around in the Sahyadris during the post monsoon months i.e. late September and October
