I wish I'd had manasicaje's review before my visit, but unfortunately, I was there before him/her. Take a look at those photos! Quintessential India----mesmerizing in its stunning visual beauty (the cubist angles of sun and shadow on hundreds of tubs, the planes of fabric on the lines....) but disturbing as well in its medieval methods---- what illness and toxins these...

It is so amazing to visit this Dhobi Ghat.Thousands of laundry washed here everyday for their customers in Mumbai. Very interesting to see how the workers can manage thousands of clothes to wash and iron them and deliver to customers

This stop and see point in the city is a must see to understand the local mechanisms. I did not walk through, but wish I had as some other travelers suggested. The open air laundry is massive and a functional, historical part of the city.

So wonderful to see the colourful washing and drying Indian style in Mumbai! Open air laundry at it's best. To see the men at their work and to also understand how it all works was a truly wonderful experience. This is Ghandi socialism at it's very best! Jobs for locals. The Dhobis collect the washing from each family on their... More

Quite interesting to watch the Washermen doing laundry in a huge production which is unbelievable to watch. Great photo op and visitors to Mumbai will enjoy it. It is a stop on most tourist visitis, if not ask your local professional tourist guide to take your there.

I would recommend that you visit this place when you are in Mumbai. Nowhere in the world will you find an open-air laundromat of this scale other than here. Despite the modernization that India is undergoing some thing still remains time still. For generations families have been doing this work and it is grueling work. The Dhobis (washers) spend hours...

For those uninitiated, there is small section of this huge laundry that is visible from the road. Most drivers and taxis will stop at this section, let their... More

You can get a really good view of the dhobi ghats from the bridge of the Mahalaxmi rail station, and most folks leave it at that. The millions of drying garments fluttering prayer-flag-like in the breeze is remarkable to see. You can get some good photos get back on the train, and go along your merry way. If you have... More

Not much to write about this place. You will get a glimpse of how things were done in days gone by and can marvel at the fact that some people still think it is hygenic to wash anything in such a place.
