Storytelling walk · 3 hours· Walled City and beyond
Women of Lahore
The city, told through its women
Anarkali, Noor Jahan, Dai Anga, Bibi Pak Daman, Malika-e-Tarannum, the women who ran havelis and the women who ran away. A walk through Lahore where, for once, they get to be the story.
Most of the city's history is told through kings. This walk turns the camera around. Lahore's women built mosques and tombs, ran empires from behind a screen, sang the country's anthem into being, and kept the Walled City fed and functioning through every war.
We move between a handful of places tied to their stories: a tomb built for a wet nurse, a haveli run by a begum, a shrine where women have gathered for a thousand years, and a bazaar lane named after a woman who may never have existed. Our women hosts lead this walk, and we make room for the stories you bring too.
Open to everyone. Bring your mother.

Where do the tours start?
Each route has its own meeting point, which we share with you once your booking is confirmed. Most walks begin in or around the Walled City.
