Overall Experience Of Gujrat: India’s Westernmost state

Paradise Found-Gujrat

For me it was all about the journey not the destination. I reached Ahmedabad from Delhi and started my Gujrat trip from there. As I was with my parents they wanted to travel all the temple. As always I wanted to travel new places I was all excited and wanted to photograph as many places I can. My plan was to travel the whole Gujrat by road so we booked a car and started our trip from Ahmedabad to Vadodara and visit Statue of Unity and also loved to see the nightlife of Ahmedabad and I loved the view of the city. As I continued my trip I plan for Akshardham and I felt so peaceful. I explore the so called Gandhi Nagar and the place is so beautiful and by the end of the day I tasted the tasty Gujrati food and the food was very delicious. The next I went for Dwarka and I visited the holy town and it was so aesthetic and I totally loved it. From the coast guard to Devbhoomi Dwarka everything was lovely. The next destination was the most beautiful place the Okha port, the weather was so nice and I captured some incredible lovely photos from where one of my photos got featured in one of Gujrat top photography page. From there I travelled to Bet Dwarka-The birthplace of Krishna and the place was beauticious. From there I travelled to Somnath temple, the morning pooja was as lovely as it can be. From Junagarh to Gondal to Rajkot and again back to Ahmedabad I totally had a fun week with lots and lots of travel. The only thing I loved about the whole trip was that I clicked many good shots. Gujrat is a lovely place with lot of temples to visit.
