HERITAGE WALKS
Heritage conservation organisations in Gujarat have come forward with a fresh concept of educational heritage walks for children. Organised by Raheel Patel of Vaarso Foundation and the Gujarat tourism department, three different routes have been developed targeting various age groups, all covering a stretch of upto one and a half kilometres. The common starting point for these three educational walks is 400 year old Jethabhai Sheth ni haveli in Dhobi ni pol that also houses two museums— one of ancient toys and the other, a miniature kite museum. All walks begin after a 14- minute animated film screening about the city's history. The film talks about the rich and fading culture of the pols, its unique architecture and lifestyle. The walks are free of cost for municipal school children, while the students of private schools will have to pay only nominal charges.
