OPEN WALKS
If you are the exploring type and would like to join a like minded group over the weekends, we've got the right walk for you.
We organise monthly open walks that are pre-scheduled & shared walks; usually on saturdays or sundays. The duration is 2-3 hours.
Come join us some day, walk the unbeaten path, meet some uncommon people and share an experience with fellow city-zens.

NEED TO KNOW
- Open walks are conducted over weekends (more often Saturdays than Sundays), as per a pre-determined schedule, published on the website in advance. These walks are prepaid for which tickets can be purchased online or by wire transfer.
- These walks are open to all, so expect to be walking shoulder to shoulder with people you may have never met before. The tour-guides follow a specific template, with content created so as to satisfy the interests of a wide range of people.
- While the tour-guide will be happy to address any questions or engage in conversation with you; this will be done keeping in mind the needs and preferences of the whole group.
- The duration of a walk is approximately 3 hours. However, it is not an athletic event. We will not be walking the entire time. Each walk will be relaxed and 'unhurried', with numerous stops and can be done by people of all ages and fitness levels.
- Please wear comfortable walking footwear. However, be prepared to leave your footwear outside while entering temples/mosques that may be part of the walk.
- While most of the walk is in public property, please also be prepared to adhere to explicit terms of private property we enter like restaurants, etc.
- Most walks include a short meal. Be open to trying out various south Indian specialties. However, if you are allergic to anything, please write to us in advance, so we may be able to guide you accordingly.
- During summers (April — June), please carry sun protective gear like sunglasses, caps/hats/umbrellas, etc. In fact, during monsoons (June-August) too, an umbrella or a cap could shelter you both from the sudden rain and the strong sun.
- Carry a bottle of water to keep you hydrated at all times.
- Most areas we walk through may be crowded. Please be careful of personal belongings while on the walk.
- Feel free to bring your cameras and take as many pictures as you like. However, be sensitive to the rest of the group so as not to delay the trail while you are indulging in photography.
- Please take care to arrive at the given time as the group will not wait for you if you are delayed and no refunds will be encouraged later.
