Gujarat

Mandvi whose chief attraction is the ethnic beach resort. Cottages modeled on rural Gujarati architecture look out onto a secluded beach, one of the state’s chief centres for water sports. 

Udaipur and its environs, easily accessible by air and road from Bombay, are another facet of Rajasthan. Far from being surrounded by flat arid desert, Udaipur is situated in the lap of the thickly wooded Aravalli hills. Three lakes form an attraction of the city whose focal point is the towering cluster of honey colored palaces that go to make up the complex of the City Palace and other palatial apartments.
