Highlights
Join me on an immersive walk navigating the narrow bylanes of Old Delhi - a treat for history and food lovers, a delight for all the five senses. This heritage walk is a recollection of my childhood growing up in Chandni Chowk - its many tastes, sounds, and smells, that linger fresh in my memory.
I grew up in Chandni Chowk, but left Delhi at the age of 14 on an academic scholarship to Singapore. I travelled as a student to almost 20 countries across 3 continents. I am passionate about history and cultural exchange and love hosting people from different parts of the world.
In this thoughtfully curated walk, you will discover and witness Delhi's syncretic culture and past. Together, we will uncover the complexity of India and its various layers of history from the Mughals to the British.
