Nashik Katha
Nashik Katha is a storytelling initiative that brings Nashik’s heritage alive through immersive walks, research, publications, and capacity-building workshops. Our experiences go beyond historical facts to reveal the city as a living landscape shaped by sacred geographies, architecture, everyday practices, and evolving urban life.
Rooted in a multidisciplinary approach, our team of architects, anthropologists, historians, and archaeologists combines rigorous research with compelling storytelling. Through thoughtfully curated walks and knowledge-driven programmes, we invite locals and visitors alike to see Nashik with fresh eyes—one story at a time.

"I highly recommend joining an Immersive Tour, especially the fascinating walk focusing on the features of the Godavari River.
Our guide, Shilpa, was exceptionally knowledgeable and an outstanding storyteller. I learned so much about the old city's hidden gems, including its beautiful temples and historic dharamshalas, providing a deeper connection to the area's rich history.
The tour was a wonderful experience, perfectly finished with a great cup of chai right on the river bank. A must-do for locals and visitors alike!"

"Followed the footsteps of Nashik Katha and I landed in this antiquated lanes of Nashik. I caught a lot of similarities in these old houses to what I see in the old city of Ahmedabad but Nashik has its own history of why these houses features a great amount of Gujarati & Rajasthani architectural traits.
Run by two talented architects, Nashik Katha took me deep into the regional stories of how Nashik's old part got popularised and the formation of its interesting heritage, culture, food, and architecture.
These gorgeous vintage houses put me in constant awe and I would totally recommend immersing in this trail because Nashik deserves to be explored beyond its famous vineyards."

"Wandering through the ‘Doors of Nashik’ with Nashik Katha was like leafing through a living storybook—each door whispering tales of forgotten dynasties, vibrant cultures, and evolving identities. From intricate wooden carvings to fading colonial facades, I witnessed how Nashik’s soul still lingers in its thresholds.
The curators crafted a beautiful experience, weaving history, architecture, and emotion into a trail that doesn’t just inform—it immerses. A heartfelt tribute to those who’ve preserved the past and made me fall in love with a city, one doorway at a time."
