• You will be collected from your accommodation and transported to the deserted Union Carbide factory, the location of one of the most significant industrial disasters in recent history. On December 3, 1984, a breeze carried a toxic cloud over Bhopal, leading to victims arriving at hospitals struggling for breath and losing their sight. The impact on the lungs, brain, eyes, muscles, and various systems, including gastrointestinal, neurological, reproductive, and immune, was severe for those who survived. By the following morning, the extent of the disaster was evident: streets were obstructed by the bodies of both people and animals, vegetation had turned black, and the odor of burnt chili pepper hung in the air. Following a visit to the derelict Union Carbide site, you will head to the 'Remember Bhopal' Museum. You will also tour the Rehabilitation Centers that are working to support the community and improve conditions in Bhopal. After the visit, you will be returned to your hotel.
