History, wildlife and religion come together in Gujarat

With smooth roads to drive on, Gujarat offers interesting tourist spots covering historical, religious and wildlife tourism. To get the best out of a long weekend trip to Saurashtra in Gujarat, here’s an itinerary that works for all.

Arrive in Ahmedabad at a convenient hour in the day and proceed to Law Market to scout for the most gorgeous Chania Cholis, mirror work blouses, embroidered bags, and many other goodies. The workmanship is fine and the prices, quite reasonable. Using your bargaining skills, you can strike good deals. For dinner, choose Manek Chowk, a place that teems with the most delicious street food at fair prices. This place is a busy jewellery market during the day, but come night an unbelievable spread of food allures the gourmets in bright lights.

After a sumptuous breakfast of dhoklas, theplas and lots of sweets (no Gujarati breakfast is complete without at least a couple of sweets on the menu), head to Sasan Gir. The long ten-hour road journey doesn’t feel so tedious if you take frequent breaks for masala chai, fafda and jalebi: while in the car you can munch roasted peanuts as well. Check into a resort in the Gir Forest and toss restlessly for the next morning to break. That most awaited adventurous moment is just around the corner: seeing the majestic Asiatic lion in flesh and blood!!
