Exploring Dharavi - Slum or Powerhouse? Mumbai, India
Welcome to one of the largest slums in the world - Dharavi. Dharavi is commonly referred to as a slum, but is it? We visited Mumbai, India in April 2024 and did a Dharavi tour to find out is it a slum or a powerhouse?
Although nobody truly knows the population of Dharavi as a lot of people are unregistered, it is estimated to have over 1,000,000 residents living in an area of just under 2.4km.
We explore the 3 industrial sides to Dharavi which are recycling, textile and leather before moving on to see the living areas and where the locals do their shopping. Unfortunately we could not film much of the living areas to respect privacy. Becky even bought a Dharavi Leather purse as a souvenir!

Is Panjim worth visiting? North Goa
Просмотров 7386 месяцев назад
Wondering what to do in Panjim Goa? We spent a day there whilst we were staying in Candolim and were really glad we did as it was even cheaper than Candolim and had a lot going on. How to get to Panjim? We got the bus and ferry across to the bustling town of Panjim. Filmed in April 2024 the bus cost 20 rupees per person and the ferry was free! What is there to see in Panjim?

hi guys. Is the Sri Lankan app PickMe safe to use? Do you need to add your card details there?
Im a bit angry, you didn't show the negativ side of kredhi inn .. because of this video I booked it and now, first day Im looking for a new one
@@veromoda8147 Hey there. We had no issues which is why. What's happened?
sri lanka is filled with these kind of people everywhere. don't trust any one here. if some one trying to nice and talk to you, beware of these kind of people. 99% of sri lanka people like these. as a local ashamed of being sri Lankan. I wish I was born another first world country. this is a third world country. this third world people don't know how to respect any people. garbage everywhere like india. but most of these places are hiding from to tourist to avoid their third world mind. sri Lankan need to learn harmony with our own people and to be honest to foreigners like this. one of most hated thing is our people smiling with ugly teeth even can't fix with that. I know this is look like racist to myself, but our people need to learn that we should not show to the slavery mind to world and then behave like beggar or second citizen , if there isn't any choice. may be sri Lankan lady honest than men in my country. but not all. there are scamming women found here. but most of men approach you, it mean they wanted to touch your ass and harassing you. most of are gay and pervert people. beware !!! do not talking to them. just avoiding them...
Wow! Instant subscribe from me! I've just stumbled across your video and you almost had me in tears at the end! What an awesome journey you have been on, a real bucket list achievement! Well done and thanks for sharing! ❤
Global backpackers for only 18- 35 yr olds only
I think those Tiki Huts used to be accommodation. It looked beautiful but the ratings were very bad. I guess they didn't survive.
I was there 20 years ago and it was great
Definitely lots of changes since then! Thanks for watching 🙂
How long did you stay in Bentota ? Isa week too long ? 🙏
If you're travelling around the country then we feel 4 nights is about right. There's not a lot to do and the resort is pretty chilled. We stayed either 4 or 5 nights, it was a while ago so difficult to remember 🙂
@@ParksTravelGuide thanks travelling around the triangle then 1week Marissa need another beach for 1week before airport ?
@susantriance5219 you could stay a week in Bentota if you don't mind it quiet, especially on a night. The beach is huge. Mirissa is nice but we liked Hikkaduwa too. Plenty of choice!
@@ParksTravelGuide did u find it very pro Russian tourist? At Hikkaduwa
@susantriance5219 When we first went Unawatuna was the main Russian resort. Now the Russians have taken Mirissa and Hikka too. We wouldn't go back again but if you can see past that then fair play. Just watch out for the tuktuk drivers in Mirissa as they are a law unto themselves with the extortionate prices they charge.
What month did you go to Rhodes? Is September a busy period?
@@digitalcreatorblueprint This was filmed during a day trip in June. We've been in September and the weather is still nice and it can be reasonably busy. If the cruise ships are in then it's very busy.
You’ve beautifully captured the essence of this place!🙂 Where to go next? 🏜
Thank you very much. This was very much a 'one off' that we had to open people's eyes to see. The life people in the West hate could be the life that Dharavi residents can only dream of.
Next week :D
Have a beer for us!
Ao Nang or Phuket for a first trip to Thailand?
Ao Nang is more sedate and less seedy than the likes of Pattaya in Phuket but it all depends on what you want out of the trip. If you want to ease yourself in then we'd suggest Ao Nang.
Id recommend Ao Nang but there is a lot to do in Phuket too. Ao Nang has better access to the islands and is less seedy than the likes of Patong Phuket but still pretty vibrant. If its clubbing all night your after then Patong Phuket is the go. This video shows a lot of Ao Nang, great video.
What was the name of the bar with mojitos for €4?
I think it's Il Piccolo de adeje. It's below the casino anyway. The prices have no doubt gone up over the years since this was filmed but hopefully it's still good value
@@ParksTravelGuide 👍🏻
Saw other video. Tried to get booking info As Us a no go
What booking info do you need?
@@ParksTravelGuide think need a website And other information on booking Here in US
@@jameschetwynd James, Marella is a British company and caters to those guests. You could book cruise only but otherwise the flights will go from UK airports. If we're being honest you'd be the only US guests onboard. Google search Marella cruises and go to their cruise only section.
You guys are so sweet and your photos were brilliant! We've done Marella before but this is our first Discovery one up this Monday so it's good to hear your views. Nice one!
@@dyoung1492 thanks very much. We always say what we see. We're heading with Princess to film on there in a few weeks which will be nice. Hope you have a great time on the sea and thanks for watching!
@@ParksTravelGuide yay! We had a great time and I was referencing you from time to time 'my guys on youtube!' and not wrong about all those mirrors. And never made it to the gym myself either ...
Hi there . Can you help me with ferry plz. You have mentioned that we have to get the ferry from another island to go to Maafushi . So isn’t there any available ferries directly from airport jetty to Maafushi ?
@@virajiwarakaulla The public ferry is only available from and to Malé from Maafushi. The speedboat transfers go from/to the airport to Maafushi.
Is it possible to make a day trip to these 3 islands from Santorini ?😮😊😅
You wouldn't be able to do all of them in a day as there wouldn't be enough time to fully explore. Check the Ferry hopper website though and you may squeeze Naxos and Ios in as they are closer than Paros.
Fantastic to see you both uploading again hope you are both well safe travels ❤
Thanks Mike. We've got Benidorm V2 up next followed by Marrakech and Albufeira. Unsure on any dates yet as we're filming on a Princess ship in a couple of weeks.
Best Couple vlog. Very down to earth, friendly and calm.
A lovely comment to wake up to. Thank you very much!
Barry looking for the essentials here. :-D
@@rainerfantasie9573 total selling point that gets my interest every time 😆
The constant being harassed to go into shops was a right pain
That's bazaar life. Similar to the souks in Egypt and Morocco etc. We usually spend our time at the back of it in the Turkish area where nobody bothers you. You get weathered to it eventually. Thanks for watching!
I love how he kept saying “For research purposes” 😂
Research is vital to give a true recommendation. Tough job but someone has to do it 😆
Amazing beach ⛱️ and holiday
It really is a lovely resort!
Really good 👍 there from 1st Nov
Have a great time! Prices have gone up a bit over the last couple of years but still great value for money.
Interesting video. Was surprised been offered turkish tea etc. Many years ago you could not walk past a shop without been offered tea but that doesnt happen so much now in the tourist resorts. Thats why I was shocked. Have travelled extensively throughout Turkey for over 40 years so know how thing's have changed.
Hey Gary. Sorry for the late reply. You're quite right and it is few and far between these days. Even in the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul no vendors offered us anything, although we found a local tea place hidden away. Times have definitely changed.
May i know which island tour better ? Five island tour or hong island ?
We would probably choose Hong island if we did it again even though it's further away.
Lovely
Where to next ?
@@AARs3s this was filmed in April this year but we thought we had lost the footage. We'll be back in India eventually though, hopefully next year as we love it.
We are in Krakow now and loved your recommendations. Thanks
That's great to hear. Thanks for letting us know ☺️
Watching this from a sunny/stormy Corfu! What a great insight to such a different way of life ❤❤ Good to see you on your travels 😊😊
Kalispera Kezza! Good to see you pop up love. Hope you're enjoying Corfu, despite the weather. We've got 3 more stacked plus one to film in November. This one certainly was eye opening. Have an Alfa for us 🍺
@@ParksTravelGuide Looking forward to them 👌🏽 Certainly can sort out an Alfa or 3 for you both 😅😃😅😃😅
Wow what an eye opener 😮great work both of you enjoyed watching thank you
Thanks Denise ☺️
💩 hole 😂
sod it ill wait in the pub with john lol
Haha!
Brilliant video glad to see you back. John you should make a video od you making a curry
We've still got 3 waiting to be edited guys, it's just tough to find the time at the moment as the airport is still pretty busy even though we're nearly into winter. A few people have said that but if we run out of ideas I'll do some Parks Kitchen specials of curry and Chinese takeaway style 😆
Wow you have brought tears to my eyes such humble proud hardworking people who deserve our respect here in the west we take life very much for granted. Thanks very much for giving us how dharavi operates
Definitely an eye opening experience Tony. Thanks for watching!
Great video thank you. Heading there in December/Jan and trying to decide how many days to stay there and how many in Koh Phi Phi
People only really stay a couple of nights on Phi Phi. We hear the restaurants get rammed so don't be surprised about that. Koh Lipi is apparently well worth a visit, it's like the Maldives so they say. Have a great trip!
Phi Phi the busiest place I have ever visited in Thailand and everything double or treble the price. Guide said things quiet down once the boat trips finish at night. But he said in high season you can hardly move and we went on a quiet day.555
@professorbaksida9423 good advice there 👍🏽
Great guys I’m enjoying watching this. Also congrats on the 10k+ Love ya John (and Becky)
Hey Gav. Cheers dude! Back at you ❤️
Brilliant vlog. We are so lucky over here but it is definately a powerhouse. Really enjoyed it but with a tinge of sadness. Thank you for showing us the other side of India.
@@hilarygamble4238 Thanks Hilary 🙂
So well done both of you 😀 wow wow wow, its amazing to see and does show how Lucky we are, and have to be so thankful for the products they make, amazing vlog,so true and a every day life for them but yet still seam Happy to Just get on with it wow amazing all round ❤😊 xxx
Thanks Joanne! 😁
Great video. Me and my partner are away in December. Do you know if you require any vaccination for the caribbean. I have looked up but getting mixed information.
No you won't. It's normally for staying on the islands. Just remember good mosquito spray if you're going into any rainforests or jungles.
No, we have done 3 Caribbean Island cruises, be aware of sand flies on the beaches they can bite, but if you use a mosquito repellent you will be okay.
@joeheaton4927 thanks for the advice I appreciate it.
Whoa, you're fartin sparks! Are you on glue?
@@simracer1256 ahhh we've been busted! The game is up.
@@ParksTravelGuide hahaha! You talk funny! Like one of those!
Nah we're just Yorkshire...and sometimes powered by beer. Glue would be a lot cheaper though. Infact we'll even add it as a recommended top tip for those travelling with Marella. Don't leave home with it.
@@ParksTravelGuide hurrah! This is so exciting, I almost can't stand it!
Great Review Been there 2 years ago Going in Feb 2025 on this Cruise with Friends
Have a great time and thanks for watching 🙂
On my way to Rhodes on Tuesday thank you for the tips.
No worries. Obviously prices have gone up over the past 3 years but Hermes is still very good value for money. Have a great trip!
In Benidorm war ich schon mindestens 20 X mit dem Auto hin und zurück 4000 km und bräuchte meistens 24 Stunden in einer Strecke und Unterkunft bei Freunde oder Geschwister und immer mindestens 4 Wochen und manchmal 2 X im Jahr und immer eine Reise wert !! und habe auch einmal mein Motorrad auf dem Anhänger mit genommen
That's a long drive! I hate driving for 1 hour 😆 Thank you very much for watching.
@@ParksTravelGuide Mirt meinem Tuareg TDI V 8 macht das aber Spaß und Verbrauch auf Strecke 7 Liter Diesel in Frankreich höstgeschwindidkeit 130 und Spanien 120 Km/h
Thanks. That was really useful.
You're most welcome. Thanks for letting us know 🙂
Wowzers looks like a gold caravan
We dropped on lucky that time but we didn't the month later or on the trip this year to check out the new spoons. It seems very hit and miss if you get an upgrade or not.
Excellent video and island guide, all islands are beautiful and love how easy to hop between them using the ferry. 👏
Paros is the furthest away but definitely worth visiting. Naxos was our favourite though out of the 3. Blue star ferries are a winner but certainly don't mess about!
What was the mosquito problem like if any while you was in GOA Thanks for your reviews
There were some mosquitos but we took precautions and covered ourselves in mosquito repellent we got from Newtons supermarket. They pretty much left us alone after that.
Just got back from near marmaris. It is now very expensive. Have been going there for many years. The price seems to go up and up and up. It once was very cheap but unfortunately no more but enjoyed our stay lots❤
@@vdavis8766 unfortunately it's the same all over the world but we've heard Turkey is getting a bit above itself. It's still cheaper than Antalya area though from what we hear. Greece is getting ridiculous too, it'll be cheaper to stay at home in a few years at this rate! Glad you enjoyed your trip.
Best hotels in Ao Nang
Yep they were very good
