Cantonment Surprise: Arun Pai of Bangalore Walks

Begin your day with a stroll through history.

Led by Arun Pai, the acclaimed founder of Bangalore Walks, this special morning walk is a deep dive into the layered past of Bengaluru—one that still lingers in the quiet corners and architectural echoes of the city's historic heart.

A corporate executive turned storyteller, Arun has taken over 30,000 people on more than 1,500 walks across the city. His walks are immersive, meticulously researched journeys that bring to life the stories behind streets, buildings, and landmarks many pass by every day.

This Sabha Walking Tour explores the neighborhood around Kamraj Road, including the 160-year-old RBANMS building that houses Sabha today. Discover how the area evolved from colonial-era Bangalore Cantonment into the bustling commercial and cultural zone it is today. The walk will culminate at Sabha, just in time for the day’s Open House events.

Whether you're a longtime Bangalorean or new to the city, Arun’s engaging narration and deep knowledge will help you see the familiar with fresh eyes.

Wear comfortable shoes, carry water, and come curious.
