Abstract: Consider $G=SL_2(\mathbb{Z})/\{\pm I\}$ acting on the complex upper half plane $H$ by $h_M(z)=\frac{az+b}{cz+d},$ for $M \in G$. Let $D=\{z \in H: |z|\geq 1, |\Re(z)|\leq 1/2\}$. We consider the set $\mathcal{E} \subset G$ with the $9$ elements $M$, different from the identity, such that $(MM^T)\leq 3$. We equip the tiling of $H$ defined by $\mathbb{D}=\{h_M(D), M \in G\}$ with a graph structure where the neighbours are defined by $h_M(D) \cap h_{M'}(D) \neq \emptyset$, equivalently $M^{-1}M' \in \mathcal{E}$. The present paper studies several Markov chains related to the above structure. We show that the simple random walk on the above graph converges a.s. to a point $X$ of the real line with the same distribution of $S_2 W^{S_1}$, where $S_1,S_2,W$ are independent with $\Pr (S_i=\pm 1)=1/2$ and where $W$ is valued in $(0,1)$ with distribution $\Pr(W
