Chickpete is popularly known as the shopping paradise of Bangalore. But did you know, it was also one of the first spots in the city to have a bank as early as 1913?  This exclusive evening walk has been specially designed for those who love bits of history interspersed with bouts of food. While the business hubs thrive during the day, an insane food scene erupts at night, right in the heart of Bengaluru’s most thriving, busiest market.  Every lane, every landmark has stories that have withstood the test of time. We will visit an almost 150-year-old abandoned mansion (Mohan Building) that has stories for almost every decade, explore the only Red Church on Avenue Road, and learn how the Maharaja of Mysore gave Bangalore its first street lamps. If this has gotten you excited, wait until you do the actual walk with us and take home a lifetime of memories.  

The Colonial Crawl is a taste of history hidden right under your noses. In this walk, we will explore how the British sahibs, memsahibs, and royalty left their mark on the garden city. The English influence on the sprawling Cubbon park, the origins of the Cantonment area, and the surrounding architecture are testimony to a lot of events in history. For example, the American War of Independence, the Battle of Waterloo, and the French Revolution had a connection to this region. We will spill more of this tea when you walk with us.  Whether you are visiting or you are a local, we promise you will see the city in a different light once you learn about the colonial influence on its churches, clubs, parks, and its people. Cubbon mornings are a sight to sore eyes, and the perfect time to discover the Colonial Hangover in one of the older parts of the city.
