How about immersing yourself in the vibrant world of Mumbai’s famed Dabbawalas for a day? This unique tour pays tribute to the spirited Dabbawalas and their invaluable contribution to the city. Begin your day with an engaging talk by the spokesperson of the Dabbawala Association (only for 20 people and above, otherwise, our expert guides take this conversation) where you’ll delve into the fascinating intricacies of this iconic tiffin service that has thrived for over 130 years.

Following the talk at a pre-booked conference venue (exclusively available for groups of 20 or more), we’ll head straight to the Dabbawala Association’s Headquarters in Dadar. Here you’ll personally sort the tiffins or dabbas, experiencing the process firsthand. 

Next, brace yourself for a journey on the local trains, where you’ll have the opportunity to interact with the dedicated tiffin men along the way.

At 12:30 PM, after the activity concludes, we’ll enjoy a scrumptious lunch at a renowned restaurant serving authentic vegetarian local cuisine, with a delightful Gujarati Thali as the highlight.
