Gujarat is located in western India and is often cited as
"the jewel of western India". The terrain is a little dry but this
does not prevent this state from creating attractive memories for travelers.
Whether it's the unique Dholavira and Lothal or the fauna and flora of Sayaji
Baug, Gujarat can surely leave an enchanted traveler. Here is a list of things
to do in Gujarat, from my personal experiences.
Top 6 Untold Things to do in Gujarat
1. Dholavira and Lothal
Step back in history by exploring the ancient civilizations of our
country. The Dholavira and Lothal excavations are considered the 5th largest
excavation site in Harappan and are major architectural sites of our country.
While it was believed that Lothal was once a trading center, Dholavira is an
old city that spans 100 hectares. This place is located on the island of Khadir
bet in the Grand Rann of Kutch. It is said to be a spectacular feast for the
eyes and an individual visiting Gujarat certainly should not miss this place.
Visit the Twin Cities to understand ancient civilizations. If civilizations
interest you, you must include them in your list of things to do in Gujarat.

3. Visit the Jama Mosque

alternate names Jumma mosque or Jami. It is located in Ahmedabad. The mosque
was erected in 1424 when Ahmed Shah I was the emperor. It is located in the old

of the Temple of the Sun
This Hindu temple is dedicated to the solar god Surya and is located in
the village of Modhera, Mehsana District, Gujarat. The sanctuary is located on
the banks of the Pushpavati River. It is said that the temple was built in

6. Dumas Beach
It is an urban beach. It is located along the Arabian Sea and about 21
kilometers southwest of Surat, Gujarat. It is a popular tourist destination.
The place is also home to Dariya Ganesh Temple, located right next to the
beach. The place is also in the most haunted places in the country. This beach
may not be as good as South Goa. But, if you have the time, it's worth the
trip. Include it in your activities in Gujarat.
