About Our Organization

Unhurried is not just a travel company; it's a journey through time, a window into the rich tapestry of South India’s history and diverse culture.
Beyond the magnificent temples or the serene backwaters of South India, there is an abundance of untold tales and unexplored heritage waiting to be discovered in this part of the world.

My story begins in the fast-paced world of software programming. Despite a successful career in IT, I felt a persistent pull towards my true passion—history and heritage. During my extensive travels in Europe, I was captivated by the leisurely heritage walks and tour packages that vividly brought local history and culture to life. This was something sorely lacking in India, especially in South India, during the early 2000s.

In India, I noticed, tourism primarily revolved around historical monuments, hill stations, and sanctuaries. However, through my explorations in smaller European cities, I realized that every small city in India harbours a treasure trove of stories—both historical and cultural. I wanted to shine a light on these local heritage and cultural aspects of South India. Choosing Bangalore as the starting point was natural, given it’s my birthplace.
​
Bangalore is famously known as the IT capital and one of the fastest-growing modern cities. Yet, being born and brought up here in a family deeply interested in local history and culture, I knew that Bangalore's history spanned over a millennium. How many of us truly know this? How many are aware of Bangalore's evolution over the last thousand years into its modern form? I wanted to tell the story of Bangalore's journey, and thus, Unhurried was born.
