|  Gujarat Tucked away in the Western most  point of India, the charm of Gujarat or the land of the Gurjars lies in its  rich cultural heritage. The home state of Mahatma Gandhi, Gujarat’s confluence  of cultures makes it the most remarkable tourist destination in India. A  veritable tourists’ paradise, it offers a tantalising wealth of possibilities  with its impressive traditions, varied tribal culture and distinct ecosystem. A 1666-km long coastline and a  legacy of 4500 years of civilisation have endowed the state with enchanting  beaches, shore temples, mosques, coastal forts, ancient citadels, palaces and  princely cities. The diversity of natural habitats also makes it one of the  most popular bird watching regions in all of Asia. A combination of colourful tribal  hamlets, holy places of various religious communities, picturesque cities,  exquisite handicrafts, museums and plenty of architectural showpieces  captivates all those who visit Gujarat.     |
