Earlier, people used to walk long distances as they had no other means of transport. Suppose you walk at your normal pace. Approximately how long would it take you to go from: a. Your current location to one of your favourite places nearby. b. Your current location to any neighbouring state’s capital city. c. The southernmost point in India to the northernmost point in India.

a. Walking at 5 kilometers per hour, it takes approximately 24 minutes to reach a favorite place 2 kilometers away (2 ÷ 5 × 60 = 24 minutes). Travel time varies with walking pace and terrain—hills or uneven paths may slow progress, while faster walking reduces it.

b. The distance between Gandhinagar (Gujarat) and Jaipur (Rajasthan) is roughly 650 kilometers. Walking at an average speed of 5 km/h, it would take around 130 hours, or approximately 5 days and 10 hours. It would be kept as records by societies.

c. The distance between Kanyakumari (southernmost) and Kashmir (northernmost) is approximately 3,200 kilometers. Walking at an average speed of 5 km/h would require roughly 640 hours, or about 26 days and 16 hours. This journey help students grasp the scale of geographical distances and reflect on the daily challenges and realities of historical travel. In other words it would be called insanity.
