Itinerary

1. Adalaj ni Vav

Time: 3:15 - 3:45 PM

Stone steps descend, shadows embrace,

Carvings whisper love, sorrow, and grace.

Built in 1499 by Queen Rudabai, this stepwell is an architectural gem of Indo-Islamic design.

It served as a resting place for travelers and a water source for villagers.

Its intricate carvings narrate tales of devotion, valor, and tragedy.

2. Dandi Kutir

Time: 4:00 - 4:35 PM

A salt mound rises, truth shines bright,

A march of courage, a nation’s right.

Asia’s largest museum dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi, designed in the shape of a salt mound.

It commemorates the historic Salt March of 1930 that sparked mass movements.

The space blends storytelling, technology, and heritage to immortalize Gandhi’s ideals.

3. Indroda Broken Fort

Time: 4:50 - 5:15 PM

Silent stones, fractured yet proud,

Ruins echo stories, soft yet loud.

Part of the ancient Indroda complex, the fort ruins stand as witnesses of forgotten times.

Broken walls and scattered stones carry traces of battles and lost settlements.

They remind us that even in decay, heritage breathes strength.

4. Suryajyot Lake (Sunset Point)

Time: 5:20 - 5:45 PM

The sky bends low, waters gleam,

A fading sun, a timeless dream.

Known as a serene sunset point, Suryajyot Lake offers a natural pause in the journey.

Its calm waters reflect the shifting hues of the evening sky.

Here, heritage meets nature in a quiet embrace of reflection.

5. Dholeshwar Mahadev

Time: 5:55 - 6:20 PM

Where bells ring and rivers meet,

Faith eternal, divinity sweet.
