Looking beyond the obvious!
Any city is best discovered on feet; walking through by-lanes, taking in the sights, smelling the fragrances, hearing subtle sounds, without the hustle-bustle of a busy day. Experience an 'unhurried' walk, almost in slow motion, while the city around you races past. Join us on a trail of your choice.
Every piece of land we use, every plant and every insect, every spice we add to our meal, every film made, every song sung, every poem written is the city's treasure. This is what we've inherited from people who lived here before us. Every city has its own unique history, influences of rulers from the past, little quirks and distinct idiosyncrasies that can't be understood if you didn't walk in the shoes of those who did before you. At Unhurried, we aim to take you along the city's life through stories from the past, to show you what you often see in a new light, to encourage you to empathise with the Bangalore you engage with everyday.
Scroll down and see all that we offer, pick the one that most interests you and join us on a walk. Unhurry your Bangalore experience.

Food TrailsCulture manifests itself best through food: in the produce cooked, in the spices added, in the techniques used and the food on the plate. If you hadn't considered Bangalore a foodie's paradise, think again. Join our food trails.

Nature TrailsHow can we show you around the garden city without taking you to the parks we revere? In the Lalbagh and Cubbon Park trails, with tales from history and urban myth, trace not just the story of the parks but even the city in the light of these parks. Read more.

Market TrailsOld Indian cities were of mixed nature, homes and commercial areas in the same area. The earliest organised market areas in Bangalore came with the advent of European planning. The nature of the markets (or bazaars) is however very Asian.
Walk through the colourful bazaars that sell everything from fresh produce to flowers, ironware to utensils & spices and much more. A walk through the two main markets of Bangalore gives a lovely experience of sights, sounds and smells of an Asian bazaar. |
Heritage TrailsBangalore has it all - old forts, legendary battles, old world charms, an English past, trees from all over the world and a cosmopolitan culture.
From the era of its founder Kempegowda to a city with an international airport named after him, the city has grown from a fort city & a small modern town to an avatar of a big metropolitan today. Get to know the different layers of this metropolitan city from our various Heritage trails. |
