Some of India’s best walking tours now compiled for a book, ‘The Temple of Treasures’

The skyline of Chennai’s coast is pinned in place by the Arabian Nights-like turrets of the High Court on the one side, and the Gothic spire of the San Thome Cathedral on the other. Between the two, they define the city where modern India was founded and from where the Union Jack unfurled across Asia.

It is a sight that Vijay Prabhat Kamalakara, founder-CEO of Storytrails, and his team, has often gazed upon as they introduce travellers to the monuments of colonial India in their walking tour — British blueprints.
