Recommendations

If you have time, consider visiting the Gita Mandir in Dwarka, a temple that has the entire Bhagavad Gita inscribed on its walls. You could also take a side trip to Porbandar, the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi, and visit his childhood home, now a museum. To maximize your fun, try some of the local cuisine, like the famous Gujarati thali. Finally, make sure to carry sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat as it can get quite hot during the day.
