Gujarat Diaries ~ I had gone on a road trip in 2006 ..travelled extensively in gujarat..a continous stretch from gandhinagar to dwarka up till the west coast of india…where the arabian sea touches the shores…most amazing road trip till now…remeber it fondly from time to time… it prompted me to start this blog!!..and i wrote the first post about that trip in this blog.
somehow very nostalgic about it since last few days so thought will post some pics of it… so here goes!!!…..

Hi,SS-long time,no hear!:) Road trip,in hamaara Gujarat,from Gandhinagar to Dwarka?I must admit,I never travelled that route before..seems to be really scenic.:)
I lived in Jamnagar for a year and half.
Seems like you had a good road journey. Fascinating pictures. 🙂
Those are some real cool pics and I guess you had an amazing road trip 🙂
BTW ! thanks for dropping by and commenting…
stunning..the freedom on the road is a great feeling..I just wish I could be there
@southpaw…it was fun riding the chakkkra…..when ur on the driver seat..u feel like a king…the position and the fact that the roar of engines makes it impossible to hear any other vehicle…so the chakkra driver rides like a king!!!!
@southpaw
the windmill site is on somewhere ont he road from jamnagar to dwarka…maybe before the coastal highway of dwarka starts…it was one of the most amazing sights i encountered on the trip….
we were driving down the empty road with vast emptiness on both sides in the middle of afternoon…the sun beating down upon us …and suddenly in the middle of nowhere we saw these huge windmills…..at first i thought i was hallucinating…that the sun and heat was playing tricks on me!!!….
Next time u plan a trip lemme know in advance, i’ll take u to the Kutch one of the most unique place u can think of…but plan it during the winters or else we’ll end up roasted in the heat…pata chala wapas aate aate 25 kilo weight evaporate ho gaya…:P, by the way didnt u encountered those stupid Neelgais(Blue antelope) during ur road trip? I see those hunks everytime i m shuttling from kutch to ahmedabad and back…The biggest i hv seen so far was 8ft tall in Naliya this winter, thankfully he didnt messed up and ruined the chairs and other stuffs as they r famous for.
U also had a ride on that chhakda as they call those diesel 3-wheeler..:D, i like the roar of that vehicle…but in the entire saurashtra and kutch it is one of the most imp mode of transportation and also causes lot of accidents as u will always find them roaring on the highways overload…
That windmill site is the one at Porbandar or the one at Maliya-Samakhayali road (the road to gulf of kutch)?
very nys shots…
thnx for sharin…
