It was an unforgettable meetup and very successful event in my life. Even after twelve hours of walking and traveling around the city still, we find time was very less. The maximum temperature of the day was 40-degree Celsius but we had overcome all difficulties with the team spirit. 

 

Thanks to @Traveler G for helping in the meetup approval process. Thanks to @Pakiyaswami LG sir, @@Rtn. Arul Prakasam T LG, @Ravi Local Guude, @@Jose LG for all your support and organizing the event systematically. Thanks t@Amrish  and team for taking initiative for the Great Heritage walk part II. Special thanks to googlers for considering our request for multiple meetups and approving it on time, very special thanks to google moderator  @KlaudiyaG .

Especially with the help of dear Amrish we connect with Delhi Local guides, Mumbai local guides and also with Connect moderator dear @StephenAbraham  and World local guide moderator dear @Jerone

Photography Class: 

Our dear guru @travelerg helped as in each meetup with a speical session on how to take perfect photos and also his night photography classes were far excellent. First time in my life taken good photos at night.
