This tour was arranged impeccably at rather short notice, and has been the highlight of my trip! The drive from Ahmedabad to the historic sites is an experience in of itself, as you get to look at slices of life outside of the city as the world passes by your window.
As for the visits themselves - the architecture is stunning, almost overwhelming in its detail and artistry. The crowds are minimal, making these great stops off of the beaten track.
Our guide, Anant Bhavsar, was a fountain of knowledge - providing not just the historical context of each location, but also diving into all the fascinating tales that the carvings represent. The experience was excellent. Storytelling and history lesson combined in a way that I couldn’t have enjoyed more.
Cap it off with some lovely tea breaks, and an excellent lunch - if you are in the area this can’t be missed!
