    1
    Day : Ahmedabad

    Arrive in Ahmedabad. Our representative will welcome you at the Ahmedabad Airport and transfer you to your hotel.

    Ahmedabad located on the banks of the Sabarmati River and once served as the capital of Gujarat, has a strong relationship with India’s struggle for independence. Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation lived here for several years and the city served as the starting point for famous Dandi March. Today, the city is renowned for its mushrooming IT and scientific industries and unconventional design as it is for its primitive architecture. It has built its wealth on the flourishing textile industry, therefore earned it the nickname as “the Manchester of the East.” This largest city in Gujarat remains soaked in history and has a wealth of historical attractions.

    In the afternoon, we shall go for sightseeing of the city.

    We shall first visit Sabarmati Gandhi Ashram. Located on the west banks of Sabarmati River, this was Gandhi’s dwelling place from 1917-1930 during his battle for India’s independence. The legendary salt march to Dandi on the Gulf of Cambay was started in the year 1913 from here. The Ashram also showcases Gandhi’s belongings, that are on display.

    Next, we visit the famous Calico Textile Museum, which is one of the finest textile museums in the world displaying an impressive collection of rare textiles and costumes that date back to the early 17th century. (One needs to take prior permission to enter the textile museum and it is open only in the morning).

    Later, proceed to Adalaj Step Well. Stepwell or Baori, built by Muslim king Mohammed Begda for Queen Rani Roopba in the year 1499, are man-made ponds in which the water is stored. These five storied well is intricately carved and various festivals and sacred rituals are held here. The structure is built in sandstone on carved pillars and is built in Solanki architecture style.

    Day : Ahmedabad – Patan – Modhera – Dasada (260 KM, 5 Hours)

    In the morning, we leave for Dasada

    Stop en-route and visit Patan.

    Patan is an ancient fortified town, founded by Vanraj Chavda in 745 AD. It is famous for its forts, step wells, lakes and places of worship. The main attractions of the city are Rani ki Vav and Patola Weaving Center.

    Rani ka Vav is a stepwell, developed during the period of the Solanki dynasty and is one of the richly sculptured monuments of the region and now a world UNESCO World Heritage site. The steps begin at ground level, and lead down through several pillared pavilions to the deep well below. There are more than 800 elaborate sculptures among seven galleries.

    Next, we will visit Patola Weaving Center. Patola is a double Ikat weave, which has no reverse side, that is it can be worn from both the sides. Due to this feature, the colour of Patola doesn’t fade even after a 100 years of usage, although the fabric might wear out. According to a narrative, King Kumarpal from Solanki dynasty was extremely fond of Patola and wore it to all auspicious and formal occasions. Since it was made elsewhere, the king found it inconvenient so he shifted the craftsmen to his capital. Since then, Patola has been produced only in Patan, Gujarat. Patola-weaving is therefore a closely guarded family tradition with only three families left in Patan who weave these highly prized double ikat saris. The craft of weaving rests exclusively with the Salvi family in Patan who manufactures Patolas for royalty and aristocracy, which makes a visit to Patolo Weaving Centre a must-visit and an experience in itself!

    Later, we shall proceed to visit Sun Temple of Modhera. The temple is one of the seven temples that is dedicated to the Sun God. Pillars of the temple count ancient stories, scenes from the Ramayana and Mahabharata are intricately carved. The temple features a Surajkund, water tank to perform ceremonial rites; the Sabha mandap, the hall used for religious gatherings, and the gudha mandap which once housed the divine idol. The most interesting fact of the temple is that there was no blue print made before the construction and the mathematical calculations were so precise that the first rays of the sun fall directly on the main Deity of the temple.

    Late in the evening, we reach Dasada and check in at the hotel.

    Dasada is the part of Little Rann of Kutch. This small yet beautiful village is surrounded by wetlands and has a long stretch of sandy desert. It provides a great platform for tourists to discover the unique lifestyle and the ecosystem of the region, which is known for its local handicrafts.

    Hi Rinki,

    Just wanted to say thank you for all the organisation for our India trip. Everything went very smoothly. Our vehicles, drivers and accommodation were all faultless.

    Look forward to our next trip now whenever that may be.

    I’d like to just comment on one thing… please encourage clients to do Chittorgarh as a day trip. The accommodation there must’ve been really good at some point but is quite run down now. They were lovely and very obliging but when we compare the accommodations it wasn’t the best.

    I know I’d said I wanted a night in Chittorgarh but I wasn’t as conversant with availability there as someone who knows the areas more.

    Thank you once again from my mum, massi and I.

    Best wishes and regards to your team,

    Ps. Next visit we must meet!! 🙂

    Good morning Rinki,
    Emily and I are home now, and we would like to thank you for organising what turned out to be a wonderful trip. We enjoyed visiting all the various places, and the hotels were comfortable. People were very friendly and helpful. The pace of the trip was perfect, travelling but not exhausting. The driver Chandra was very good and I would have no issue with recommending him as a driver. He was very polite, punctual, and courteous. We felt he was a very safe driver, and would like to extend our thanks to him as well. With the benefit of hindsight, I would have stayed an extra day or two in Verkala rather than the extra days in Mumbai, but that is as I say with the benefit of hindsight. Once again, thank you so very much for all your help in organising this trip for us, which we will remember fondly for many years to come.
    David & Emily
    8 March 2020
    Dear StateExpress
    To whom it may concern, we are writing you regarding the package booked with andanitravel for the India golden triangle from the 01/03/2020 to the 11/03/2020. On the 4th of March ’20 the staff from the Sher Gary Resort in Road Village Sherpur, Khilchipur, Rajasthan 322001, Ranthanbore, following the Advise from the Government of Rajasthan, invited us to leave the resort and the State of India as soon as possible due to our Italian Nationality. Immediately we contacted the DCM Italy of Rajasthan, Mr Carini, who told us there was a mistake and the Advise number 27 of the 4th of March 2020 was withdrawn with immediate effect. Although we informed on a timely manner the resort staff, we have been asked to leave anyhow. Only after the DCM Italy informed the resort about the mistake, we have been given the opportunity to leave the resort the following morning. All these difficulties, the constant hostility by the people in India despite the advise number 28, the decision made by the State Express emergency contact( Harish Bhatt) to interrupt our trip and the news regarding the spread of COVID-19 in India, induced us to arrange autonomously for a flight back home as soon as possible. At least but not last we kindly ask you to let us know of any official way to provide a positive feedback to the great support, empathy, help, kindness, professionalism, flexibility and special assistant given by the driver Mr Ashok Yadav in the sphere of his competences.
