Bombay Beyond Fort x Kheema Pao And Chai

Be a tourist in your own city.

Join Conservation Architect Mallika Keer for a guided heritage walk around the historic Fort precinct of Mumbai,  a neighbourhood shaped by centuries of trade, influence, and transformation. We will explore  ‘Esplanade’, the precinct that developed after the fort walls were dismantled, tracing the city’s evolution through its built fabric.

This walk invites you to observe the city differently: not just through history, but through architecture. Together, we will learn about architectural styles and details while uncovering the stories they carry. Along the way, we will also reflect on the present condition of Mumbai’s architectural heritage and the ongoing conversations around its conservation.

Our session begins with a brief introduction to the city’s history, followed by a guided route through the precinct. The walk concludes at Café Military, a 90-year-old Irani café established in 1933 by Khodaram B. Golabi. Once a canteen serving the armed forces and later a restaurant after Independence, it remains known for its authentic Parsi food and old-world charm. 

Duration: Approximately 2 to 2.5 hours

Includes: Guided walk, breakfast at Café Military (if selected) and a Beyond Heritage souvenir

Every attendant will receive a souvenir from Beyond Heritage!
