For those who wish to explore Mumbai beyond the usual commercial touristic sites, this time the villages of Aarey were introduced among all. The neighbourhood known as Adivasipada or ‘tribal village’ is in extreme interiors of Aarey Milk Colony that is sparsely populated with natives of Warli and Koli communities. They have mud-houses with charcoal pits, trails that are used by leopards to enter the village and abduct canines, walls decorated with Warli paintings and a paradise for human-wildlife harmony. 

The other locations explored were the Dhobi Ghat – world’s largest open-air laundary, the Sassoon Docks that offers a bustling culture of Koliwada fishing business and a walk between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (formerly, the Victoria Terminus) to the Gateway of India through the Shahid Bhagat Singh Marg, formerly known as Hornby Road.
