In short: The Versova Village Tour is a private guided walk through the Koli fishing village of Versova in Andheri West, covering boats, the fish market and village lanes. The price is on request.
About this experience
Versova is home to one of Mumbai’s oldest fishing communities, the Kolis, whose families have lived on this coast for generations. Behind the apartment towers and cafés of Andheri West there is a working village with boats, nets, a busy fish market and narrow lanes.
Your guide takes you through it and introduces the daily routine, from boats returning with the catch to the sorting and selling on shore. It is a real, working place, so the tour is about watching with respect and learning from your guide.
