Best time to visit October to April

Gujarat positively bursts with places to see for the tourist, baoris, palaces, hilltop temples, beaches and a chance to see the Asiatic Lion. All clamour for your attention. The cuisine is renowned in India and Gujarat people are a friendly bunch for the most part.

It also boasts a few beaches, a unusual parsi Fire temple and a beautiful hillstation at Saputara. A natural launch point for Gujarat would be the dusty city of Ahmedabad, which hosts quite a few things of interest, such as the calico museum. Not surprisingly for a city that owes its prosperity to three textiles- cotton, silk and gold, Ahmedabad has one of the finest textile museums in the world.

Or the Rani Roopmati Mosque where you can find a great example of the symbiosis between. Islamic - Hindu architecture. The museum, Jumma Masjid, Sabarmati Ashram and Teen Darwaja are just few of the other things to see in this great city. Nearby Adalaj Vav is an exquisite example of a Baoris or Step well. For those of you interested in ancient civilizations the 80 Km trip to Lothal is a must.

Gujarat offers some truly amazing temples, like the magnificent edifice called The Someshwar Mahadev Temple or the sun Temple dedicated to Surya or the Sun God. both are well worth a visit as are the hilltop Jain complexes at Girnar Hill and Palitana. Udava boast one of the few Parsi fire temples in the country!.

Dwarka and the newer temple of Akshardham are unmissible.

For lovers of nature there are parks on the Rann of Kutch which house a large population of Asiatic lion as well as The Wild Ass , the rare great Indian bustard the largest flying bird in India.

Perched on the Sahyadri hills, surrounded by forests and inhabited by ancient tribes... Saputara is picture postcard perfect Hillstation that offers some respite from the searing heat of the Gujarati summer.

Brimming with lakes, streams, woodlands and hills,.it's the right spot for nature lovers..

Gujarat often overlooked is one of the most interesting states in India. Why not give it a try
