Historic City of Ahmedabad

by Bhushavali

The city of Ahmedabad is the latest to join the list of UNESCO Sites in Gujarat in 2017. Being the capital city, it is also one of the most tourist places in Gujarat. The city was founded by Sultan Ahmed Shah in 15th C CE, so currently there are several historical monuments & heritage places in Ahmedabad. The most important aspect of the city are its 'pol' neighbourhoods.

Rani ki Vav, Patan

by Bhushavali

This is personally my favourite & one of the top Gujarat destinations. This was built in 11 C CE. Filled with such intricate miniature sculptures of Gods, Apsaras, Celestial beings and geometrical decor, this place is such a marvel.
