This group of young entrepreneurs joined us early on a Saturday morning for ‘Stories On The Run’, a running trail by the sea. We jogged along the Marina taking in views of the beach at dawn, and admiring the majestic colonial-era buildings dotting the coastline. And we talked about the British and all that they left behind in Madras - the very first city they established in India. #Madras #Chennai #HiddenHistories #Storytrails #MarinaBeach #WalkingTours #Heritage #History #StoriesOnTheRun #heritageTours #instatravel #exploreindia #India
One hundred thousand lamps, winking and flickering, will light up the Padmanabhaswamy temple today. It is the grand finale of the Murajapam, a 56 day long festival which involves over 200 priests continually chanting the vedas. This festival, held once every 6 years, has been documented from as far back as 1747. The city of Trivandrum owes its very existence to this ancient temple at its centre. Join us on the Kingdom of Gods trail in Trivandrum, as we walk through the bylanes around the Padmanabhaswamy temple, arguably the richest temple in the world.

He who must not be named shall not be named. But apparently he loves samosas and ginger chutney. #Chennai #Pondicherry #Walkingtours #Foodtours #storytrails
What do you take back from a holiday? A drive full of photographs? A few likes on your travel posts, perhaps? In a time when travel experiences are made to be instantly shared, here’s one person recording her travels the-old school way; not with a camera, but with pencils, paints and a sketch book. Like travellers from a bygone era, she draws all the things that catch her eye. Pam is from Australia and she joined us on our trails in Pondicherry and Chennai. We caught a glimpse of her beautiful travel journal, and coming soon, she tells us, are pages dedicated to her tours with us. What a lovely way to remember and reflect on your experience! #Storytrails #Walkingtours #Chennai #Pondicherry #Madurai #Trivandrum #Mumbai #FrenchConnectionsTrail #PeacockTrail #heritageTours #instatravel #exploreindia #India
