I am giving two most ancient places in Gujarat season oct to april Balasonoir---90 km from Ahmedabad on Indore ahmedabad highway .20 km from city RAOLI ,a small beutifull village covered with small hillocks ,lush green paddy field .On top of the hill ,fossils of Dionossurous are found plenty lying here and there .Feel the moment of 65 million years ago when these reptiles used to roam freely in this land .After 2 hrs trip to this land ,come back to the city Balasonoir and have Nawabi lunch with the Nawab of Balasonoir .Ms Alia babi ,the owner of this heritage hotel will explain in details of Dionossorous as she is author on this subject .You can also take her help .Excellent foods are served in Nawabi style in Nawabi dining room specialy the Nawabi 400 years old Byriani with 150 spices used(non veg veg).One of the rare tourist moment of life
Lothal =90 km from Ahmedabad on ahmedabad ---rajkot highway .From DHOLERA just 20 km further You will discover the 5000 years old civilisationm of Harappa .Still the ancient river ,ruins of modern archtectures of the city can be visible .One small resturent and a well maintained Museum is available for knowledge of the place .Explore whole day and see the most scientific city system prevailed 5000 years old there and see the beutifull sunset from the ruins of Harappa .Once in a life time experience
Yes it is an lifetime experience by travelling by that small beutifull train to OOTy from metripallem station.During 1995 I visited OOTY by train .Its reminded me of another train journey fron siligury to darjeeling by toy train(50km) .I love these old toy train journey .In gujrat there are several routs still there by toy train journey .Once i have travelled from baroda to choteudaipur (150km) ,passing through small hilllocks ,by the side of a village panchayat(where panchayat is happening under a big banyan tree)and through to vast empty green field on the two sides .Another toy train journey is Pathankot station (punjab) to jogindernagar in palanpur dist.(himachal--80 km),passing though beutifull tea garden in palanpur.Another toy train journey I took in 1978 is Kalka (haryana) to simla --120 km .You just cannot imagin the thrill and joy in this journey .Sitting on the side of a small window ,vewing the panaromic scenic beuty of the places I mentioned one can feel of fantasy of journey to haven .You must visit once these places by toy trains .I thing Railway should give a list of toy trains journey for entire India and promote for great tourism in a seperate booklet mentioning all the details including places,train timing ,connecting broadgauge train connection,hotels and colouring all these trains in a special system so that people can easily understand.abboral@gmail.com.Laluji should note please
