Below mentioned are a few places that I explored on my own while walking around the city. They aren\u2019t mentioned in any guide book nor does any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.india-tours.com\/tours\/central-india.html\">travel agent recommend<\/a> you but if you are an avid explorer like me, i suggest you to wear your walking shoes and start wandering around the streets of Mumbai.\u00a0<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Visit Dhobi Ghat from Inside:<\/strong> If you are visiting Mumbai then I must recommend you to visit Dhobi Ghat. A different aspect for the people of Mumbai, the dhobi is a conventional laundryman, who comes at your doorstep to collect your dirty clothes, wash them, and return it back to your doorstep. The &#8220;place of laundry&#8221; is called &#8220;Ghats&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.india-tours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/dhobi-ghat-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3377 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.india-tours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/dhobi-ghat-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.india-tours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/dhobi-ghat-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.india-tours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/dhobi-ghat-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.india-tours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/dhobi-ghat.jpg 1280w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/576;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Dhobi washes the clothes in the soapy water, makes them clean and hangs them out to dry. Next the clothes are ironed and stacked into neat bundles. Walk through narrow lanes of the Dhobi Ghat to gain experience and explore like the local people and let me share a little secret with you \u2018 They next to never mix the clothes or lose a piece of clothing \u2019. Yes it is true that the laundrymen never lose clothes or mix up clothes or mix the pile. I do not know how they manage to do that but it is true and that is why people from all over Mumbai avail this laundry facility.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Spice Market Tour: <\/strong>The Lalbaug area is the main area for the textile mill industry.
