Gujarat

A state of foods, festivals & handicrafts

Best known for its food and festivals, Gujarat is a vibrant destination. With its coastline of salt pans that welcomes rare, migratory birds every winter to its forested stretches providing the only refuge for the Asiatic lions – Gujarat offers some great wildlife options. Its rural villages preserve age-old textile and craft traditions, and its bustling cities serve as market hubs that export these handicrafts to the rest of the world. Few visit the western-most stretches of Gujarat with its geology of faults, fissures and salt pans and its Indus Valley civilization excavation sites – a perfect social science study for the geeky traveler!
