It is the merriest time of the year, you have a long leave from work, and are craving a holiday, but you cannot tolerate the cold.

You can find hand-crafted artefacts, ethereal embroidery and mirrorwork couture in the local markets.
Gujarat is adorned with shopping centres, historical and religious attractions, museums and restaurants serving yummy and authentic Gujarati cuisine like thali, khandvi, thepla, basundi, Jalebi Fafda, and so much more.
