            To go on a tour for visiting historical places is known as ‘Heritage Walk’. One can experience the thrill of being a part of history by participating in heritage walks. ‘Heritage Walks’ as an organised group activity has gained popularity in many countries. India has a rich history, which can be traced back to many millenniums. Every region of India is full of historical places from ancient, medieval and modern period. The ‘Heritage walk’ organised in the city of Ahmedabad is well-known. In the cities of Mumbai and Pune in Maharashtra such walks are organised regularly. Heritage walks can encourage people to support projects like conservation and preservation of historical monuments, to collect authentic information about them and to publish it through various media. Residences of renowned citizens who have passed away are also part of heritage. In some cities ‘blue plaques’ with the names and other relevant information of such citizens are placed on their residences, as a part heritage scheme.
