Traveling to Gujarat

Eclipsed by places such as the Golden Triangle for several years, the state of Gujarat awakens the visitor by displaying endless experiences, monuments, and nature that make it a most complete destination. If you want to travel to Gujarat we show you these 8 places that you cannot miss.

Ahmedabad

Although India is one of the countries with the highest number of Unesco heritage, it still resisted the existence of a Heritage City. Finally, and after defeating Mumbai or Delhi, ancient Ahmedabad became the first Indian city designated as a World Heritage Site thanks to its many virtues, including one of the most exciting examples of Indo-Muslim architecture in all of India. Drop to the other side of the Sabarmati River, cross the Bhadra Fort and discover the famous pol, or ancient traces that separated one caste from another, mosques like Jama Masjid or temples of the stature of the Swaminarayan Akshardham, one of the most spectacular.

As a cherry, there is nothing better than approaching the Sabarmati Ashram in which Mahatma Gandhi, a native of Gujarat, spent 21 years of his life.

Rani-ki-vav

Following the current of the Sabarmati River, you can enter the largest stepped well in India. An architectural jewel erected in honor of King Bima I by his own widow in the 11th century, which consists of 7 levels where around 500 sculptures of Hindu motifs come together, which will be a delight for history lovers. Despite being abandoned and invaded by the waters of the nearby river years later, Rani-ki-vav was rescued from oblivion in the 1980s until it became one of the most recommended places to visit in Gujarat.

Rann of Kutch

The Kutch district is often known as "the Far East" of India. An arid and nomadic place whose main attraction is the one known as Rann de Kutch, a clayey and salty desert located between the Gulf of Kutch and the mouth of the Indus River. A curious scenario that during the monsoon season is allowed to flood until it forms different marshes that attract species of flamingos  (inhabitants of the known as the Big Rann of Kutch) and even donkeys (the Wild Ass Sanctuary of the Small Rann of Kutch). Ideal for camping under a tent or entering a white horizon that gives some of the best sunsets of the Indian giant.

Modhera Sun Temple

In India, there are tiered wells such as the famous Chand Baori, the aforementioned Rani-ki-vav or, especially, the Sun Temple located 2 kilometers from the town of Modhera. Built-in the 11th century by the Solanki dynasty in honor of Surya, the god of the sun, the temple is characterized by an indoor pool wrapped by various staircases and a temple that attracts hundreds of pilgrims each year. Undoubtedly, a show that has become one of the most recommended places when traveling to Gujarat.
