Overview
Pete Walk is an immersive culture walk in Bangalore to rediscover the essence of old Bangalore in its Petes or Pettahs. The Pettah came into being on 1537 with the establishment of a mud fort by Kempe Gowda the founder of Bangalore. Over the last 250 years the Pettah has evolved into the most important commercial hub of Bangalore. Walk past quaint bazaars selling everything from textiles to silver, gold, spices, flower and bronze items to get a real feel for the oldest settlement of Bangalore.
