Founded by city architects, Abha Bahl and Brinda Gaitonde Nayak, THE BOMBAY HERITAGE WALKS (BHW) group has been organising walking tours around the city's heritage precincts since April 1999. The walks aim to raise the awareness of the people of Mumbai and visitors, about the city's architecture and heritage monuments.

Personalized, educative and enjoyable, the walking tours highlight a vast range of architectural styles, construction methods and materials, planning elements and ornamental details. The spatial, social and cultural history of the city is brought to life through fascinating stories and anecdotes. Our walks attempt to bridge "heritage" and "contemporary" aspects of Mumbai to create meaningful and memorable experiences for participants.

At BHW, we firmly believe that one cannot experience the multitude of architectural styles and heritage precincts by merely traversing the city in a car or by leafing through travel brochures or guidebooks. The real essence of Mumbai can only be discovered on foot and with someone who is knowledgeable about the city – its people, its history, its architecture, its culture and intimately familiar with its streets.
