1. Pay homage to Gandhi Ji at Sabarmati Ashram:

One of the most compelling reasons for many to visit the peaceful state of Gujarat is that it was the homeland of the world-famous, human rights leader Mahatma Gandhi; whose teachings till date ebb and flow throughout the people and streets of Gujarat. Upon his return from South Africa in 1915, Gandhi had set up his first Ashram in Ahmedabad; which served as the central hub for the operations of the freedom struggle for Indian independence. The Ashram is extremely famous with tourist and locals alike, making it a popular inclusion in Gujarat holiday packages.

2. Understand the cultural diversity of Gujarat at Jama Masjid:

Built by Ahmed Shah I in the year 1423, Jama Masjid was and is still considered to be one of the largest and most peaceful mosques in India. A remnant of religious patchworks that make up Gujarat, this mosque has used parts of demolished Hindu and Jain temples to create its walls; this is the perfect homage to Gujarat’s multi-faceted history. Jama Masjid is undoubtedly one of the places that you should consider including in your Gujarat tour package itinerary.
