Walk
“You’ve got to get out and walk,” wrote Jane Jacobs, reminding us that cities are best understood on foot. Walking allows us to sense the rhythms of everyday life, notice small details, and encounter people, practices, and spaces that shape urban culture—revealing the city not as a map or plan, but as a lived, layered experience.
Types of walks
Old City Walks
Maratha-style Fresco
Maratha-style fresco paintings in old Nashik once adorned lime-plastered exterior walls with scenes from epics, local legends, and floral motifs. Painted in earthy reds, ochres, and indigo using natural pigments, they turned everyday streets into open-air galleries of faith and storytelling.
Step back in time through the narrow lanes and historic enclaves of Old Nashik , where the city’s layered urban history comes alive. This walk explores Nashik’s transformation from a temple-town to a bustling administrative and commercial hub during the Maratha and British eras. Through vibrant markets, traditional wadas (courtyard houses), and artisan neighborhoods, we trace the architectural and social evolution of the city — one embedded in both everyday life and historical memory.
Godavari River Walks
Godavari 'The Elder Ganges'
The Godavari river valley—geologically older than the Ganga—is among India’s earliest inhabited landscapes, with archaeological evidence tracing human presence back to the Paleolithic period. Stone tools, habitation remains, and riverbank sites show how the river’s ancient course, fertile soils, and rich ecology supported early hunter-gatherers and later settled communities, sustaining continuous human life for thousands of years.
This walk follows the sinuous course of the Godavari, Nashik’s lifeline, from the spiritually charged ghats of Ramkund to the quieter, ascetic landscapes of Godavari Ghats. Along the way, the river becomes a lens through which we experience Nashik — as a city of faith, water, ecology, and transformation. This walk unfolds the Godavari not just as a river, but as a living cultural landscape where myth, memory, and the mundane coexist.
