Usually off the tourist routes, Gujarat boasts remnants of an Indus Valley civilization dating back some say more than 8,000 years, 2,000-year-old remnants of the Buddhist emperor Ashoka, the first British commercial outpost in India, and the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi.
Known for its silk, handicrafts, and fine- carved furniture, Gujarat is one of the premier craft destinations in India.
This special trip travels through the eastern mainland region and cities of Ahmedabad and Surat, the flat, barren plain of Saurashtra, and the Rann of Kaachh. Along the way, we visit wildlife sanctuaries, watch craftspeople at work, and appreciate some of the major festivals of the area.
