HEAD OUT
Neighbouring Rajasthan’s Mt. Abu in is one of the favourite weekend destinations for Gujaratis. A threehour drive from Ahmedabad takes you into the cooling valley of the Aravalli range. This hill retreat sits along the Nakki Lake, a wooded winding road takes you to the pinnacle Guru Shikhar. Moving away from hills, try the 1600 km coastline of Gujarat, drive to Mandvi and spend the night at the heritage camp site at Vijay Vilas Palace, Mandvi beach, Kutch. Vijay Vilas is the residence of the Maharao of Kutch and was originally a summer palace for the royal family. You can also stay at green resorts near Vapi like the Peninsula Kalay which is, on a forested island. You just have to step out of your room and onto the beach.
