Local guides · Hidden alleys · Real stories · Since 2009
India Walks Trip is a locally owned and operated walking tour company founded in 2009 in the heart of Old Delhi. What started as a single 3-hour Chandni Chowk walk has grown into India's most trusted on-foot travel experience, spanning six cities and over 25 carefully curated routes.
Every walk is led by a passionate local — a historian, chef, architect, or storyteller who grew up in the very streets they guide you through. We don't just show you monuments. We walk you into the living heartbeat of each city, through hidden courtyards, family chai stalls, and the kind of moments that only happen at walking pace.
Trusted by 10,000+ travellers from 80+ countries, and rated 4.9 stars on TripAdvisor and Google, India Walks Trip is the walk India remembers.
India is too vast, too layered, and too alive to be seen from a bus window. The real India — the one that changes you — lives in the tangle of a spice market, the shadows of a Mughal gateway, and the laughter around a fire in the old quarter.
Our mission is simple: slow travel down, speed up understanding. We create walks that are equal parts education, adventure, and conversation. Every route is designed so that a traveller leaves not just with photographs, but with a story to tell.
Our guides are from the cities they lead. They know the family that has run the same mithai shop for four generations, and the courtyard hidden behind the crumbling haveli gate.
Featured by Lonely Planet, Condé Nast Traveller, and BBC Travel. Our Old Delhi Food Walk has been ranked Asia's top culinary experience three years running.
Government-licensed, fully insured, and led by certified guides trained in first aid and crowd management. Solo travellers, families, and seniors walk with complete confidence.
We reinvest in the neighbourhoods we walk through — funding heritage restoration, supporting local artisans, and employing guides who are residents of the communities they share.
All public walks capped at 12 guests — small enough for real conversation, nimble enough to disappear down an alley that a tour bus could never follow.
Private walks tailored to your pace, interests, and dietary needs. Honeymoon trails, family-friendly routes, photography walks, and sunrise-to-sunset marathons — your walk, your story.

Ravi took us through lanes of Old Delhi I never would have found alone. Three hours felt like three minutes. This is how travel should feel — deeply human and completely unscripted.
The Agra Food Walk was the highlight of our entire India trip. Arjun knew every vendor by name, every dish by story. We ate things we can't even name but will never forget.
Priya's knowledge of Jaipur's architecture is encyclopaedic, but it's her warmth that makes the walk extraordinary. I've done tours on five continents — this tops them all.
