Walks in India
This June, India Travel Blog will feature a series of articles on Walks in India.
Unlike in many countries, walks and walking tours are not common or popular in India. This series intends to promote the idea of walks that can enable travellers to see and experience the places better by getting closer. The series explores a few short and easy walking trails with which a traveller can witness every aspect of the country such as history, culture, life, landscapes and heritage.
The series will have fifteen walking trails through the month of June containing detailed description of the walk along with maps, difficulty level, best season to do the walk, time of the day and distance of the trail.
The places include, but are not limited to metros and cities, and are chosen from every corner of the country. The walk intends to cover a lot of variety, including walking the sand dunes in a village in Rajasthan, experiencing devotion on the bank of Ganga, seeing history come alive in the remains of ancient structures, short walks in snow amidst views of the snowy peaks.
Walks are a great way to see places, get up close to people and interact, observe carefully and see things better. They help the traveller take time and feel involved with the scenery instead of buzzing past and seeing things as a window-view. This series will assist you to find some great walks from all along the country and to experience the pulse of the nation.
