Untravel: Explore Bangalore with an Unhurried tour walk
By Usha Hariprasad

Looking to explore your city in a whole new way? Unhurried helps you learn about just how interesting Bangalore’s history is, with their guided walks.

Let us face it, history has always stood for memorization. Dates, events, wars fought and won; history was and is still seen as a theory subject. The result – it becomes flat and boring.

Poornima Dasharathi of Unhurried, a travel company that specializes in heritage and cultural tours and walks, hopes to change this. She believes that history can be fun. Through her colourful stories, she brings history alive in her heritage walks and tours. The Alternative catches up with her to know more about her specialized travel outfit.

Unhurried was started in 2012 to get people interested in local history and heritage. Unhurried started with walks. The reasons for embarking on walks was simple. “History is my passion. I love history, travel and narrating stories. So the walks had to happen anyway, they were a natural extension of my interests,” says Dasharathi.

She had another strong trigger too to start with walks. “I began with walks as a way to rediscover my roots in the city. My frequent travel trips, walks in European cities made me realize how little I knew about the city I lived in,” says Dasharathi. Thus began a series of walks, each unique and specialized to give people a hands on experience on the heritage of the city.
