About Casual Walker

 

 

चरन्मार्गान्विजानाति ।
A wanderer (eventually) knows the path.
– Mahābhāratam

Casual Walker is a curious discovery and recommendations journal that finds and reviews uniquely authentic local photo stories, guides, and tips through random walks and explorations — focusing on uniquely authentic travel experiences, culture, heritage, spirituality, arts and food.

We visually find, explore, and showcase a wide range of thoughtful and unique local documentary photography stories and guides discovered during our walking adventures, covering breathtaking Travel Adventures to Timeless Indian Traditions, Ancient Indian Temples, Mesmerizing Art Galleries & Exhibits, Cultural Events & Festivals, Museums & Historical Sites, Vibrant Flavors of Local Indian Food and Culinary Delights, Hotels and Stays, Dance Performances & Art Forms, Yoga & Vedas, Wildlife, Nature & Living, Cultural Books, and Reviews. Every walk tells a story. We find hidden gems, explore local communities, and share powerful travel experiences through compelling photography and authentic storytelling.
