About The Photo Walk

DCP Weekend Photowalks is an innovative concept, one of the flagship products of DCP Expeditions. It started in 2013 with an objective to help the citizens know the still surviving greener patches in and around their cities and towns. This unique concept was appreciated and acknowledged across the nation. We received immense motivation in exchange of putting our heart and soul for it. Today the concept has got immensely popular and parallel photo walks keep happening in multiple cities and towns all across the nation at a time and also beyond the country borders.
