Soil and Soul Farm Trail

Walk: Life in the Pete - People, culture & lifestyle

Yes, most of us know that Kempegowda founded modern Bengaluru. He invited people of different trades to settle down here. However that is five centuries ago! Somehow history always stops at a certain point, e.g., 1947.

How was Pete (or City as we call it) in the 50s or 60s? What type of people live in modern City? What is the culture of this City? What are the occupations that have a colourful past? What is their state today?
Know all this and more through a walk in the area with Unhurried.

The walk starts at Chikka Lalbagh park and is around 4-5 hours long with plenty of rests in between.
Inclusions: Breakfast & Lunch

Unhurried Walks: June 2014

Lalbagh Walk

Rolling out the red carpet: An unhurried walk in the urban haven of Lalbagh.

Bangalore's most popular tourist destination, Lalbagh, is often thought of as a large boring park, which it may seem. Walk with us to discover the treasure that is Lalbagh, as we take you through the sand, stone and waters of Lalbagh, our Tipu Sultan's pleasure paradise!
Commissioned by Hyder Ali and completed by Tipu Sultan, Lalbagh was the ruler's personal garden, a statement of power and extravagance. Around one of Kempe Gowda's towers, Lalbagh has since acquired a large range of horticultural samples, a beautiful glass house and India's first lawn-clock. Today, it is not just a botanical garden but is also one of the few green spaces left in the increasingly polluted 'garden city'.
Join us as we step into pockets of silence and bloom right within the corporate jungle that is Bangalore. Listen to stories from the past, myths associated with the park and personal anecdotes that help understand Lalbagh better.

For paricipation, visit our website or email us at reachus@unhurried.in

BUNGALOW WALK

 

Mi casa su casa: Visits to Bangalore's century old Bungalows

 

Since the capture of Bangalore from the unwavering clutches of Tipu Sultan, several British families have made Bangalore their home. The flourishing cantonment north of the beautiful Cubbon Park was almost British in its making: wide roads lined by trees, locally brewed foreign alcohol, the early entry of cars and the Bungalows they were parked in. With wide garden space around the house, built in typical British grandeur, tall roofs to allow air to come in, the now slowly disappearing old Bungalows of the city tell the tales of the needs, preferences and culture of the time.

Soaking in the old world charm of Richards Town, catch a breath of fresh air and some snippets of local history in the verdant Richards Park. Also to see are a few pretty yesteryear villas and local churches in the idyllic settings of aPaulogy, a unique gallery that takes viewers back to Bangalore of the 70s.

Unhurried Walk: Cubbon Park

Bangalore’s history is a tale of two cities - the Indian City (Pete/Pettah) and the European Cantonment with Cubbon Park serving as a bridge between the two.

Join the walk for a leisurely stroll through this verdant lung space as you learn about a Victorian era when people commuted on horseback or on foot and danced in the ballrooms of Parade road. And hear tales of life in this South Indian city while viewing significant landmarks along the way. Get transported to a British era when men wore top hats and memsahibs held parasols.

Walk-a-thon 2013 - "Walk to Educate"

Bengaluru Walkathon 2013 - Walk to Educate...

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” Nelson Mandela

Samarthanam believes strongly that it is Education alone which can change the fates and lives of persons with disabilities for good. It is Education that can transform them from being social parasites to tax payers and thereby equal contributors to the country’s economy. According to conservative estimates a minimum of 6% of the country’s population has some disability or the other. A whopping 40 million of them are children with disabilities of whom less than 10% have access to quality primary education. These numbers fall abysmally low in case of secondary and higher education.

Samarthanam Trust for the Disabled has been supporting children and young adults to pursue education to the highest level of degree possible since the very beginning of its existence. Constructing a state of the art inclusive all accessible school at HSR Layout for children with disabilities and those from underserved backgrounds is an attempt to reiterate our commitment towards education. Through our various education and training programmes

• a total of 275 children continue to study in primary education   
• a total of 150 children continue their high school education

Pete(City) Walk - The story of the Bengaluru

Modern Bangalore (Bengaluru) was founded by Kempegowda , a medieval chieftain, in the great Vijayanagara Kingdom. How was the city back then? What kind of people lived?  How did it transform from a small medieval town to this big bustling metropolis?

Join us on a unique walk around the 'pettah' area of Bangalore and learn more about this fort city built by Kempegowda. Explore parts of the city you have never been to before, learn about the city history that might shatter some of the myths that we usually associate it with. 
What's more, enjoy some traditional, sumptuous south Indian breakfast at an iconic eatery at the end of the walk.
