Met at airport and transfer to hotel Kohinoor Continental. Nov 18 Day 2: Bombay - Vadodara - Jambughoda / Hotel Jambughoda Palace (B,L,D) Transfer to airport for flight 9W349 dep. 0935 / arr. 1035 to Vadodara. On arrival drive to Jambughoda (75 km), en-route we visit the World Heritage Site of Champaner (the site of Pavagarh Archeological Park) to see the vast compleX of mosques built by Mahmud Begada. Check into Jambughoda Palace, a simple royal mansion in the midst of mature gardens - a beautiful retreat for nature lovers. Nov 19 Day 3: Jambughoda –Excursion to Tribal Villages / Jambughoda Palace (B,L,D) Full day excursion to the tribal villages of Jambughoda. Most of the people living in and around Jambughoda are ‘Rathwas’ & ‘Nayaks.’ They are superstitious and God-fearing people. The entrance to their home is through a richly carved wooden door with figurines and tribal icons. The front is usually decorated with Pithora paintings for which the Rathwas are known. They do not live in hamlets. Their dwellings are separated from each other by considerable distance. We will visit the tribal museum of Chhota Udaipur, which has a large collection of tribal artifacts. Many tribal artifacts are also brought for sale in the ‘haats’ (weekly markets) in the city and nearby villages. Nov 20 Day 4: Jambughoda – Palitana (320 km/6-7 hrs) / Vijay Vilas Palace (B,LD) We depart at 8 am for the 4 hour drive to Lothal, to visit the eXcavations of a Harappan site dating back to 2400 -1600 BC, known for its town planning, scientifically designed harbor and sophisticated drainage system. In the dialect of the local language, Lothal means 'the mound of the dead. The site was discovered in the year 1957, followed by eXcavations done by the Archaeological Survey of India. Lunch at a local restaurant. Continue approx. 3 hours drive to Palitana. Our accommodation, Vijay Palace, is located inside the village, about 6 km from Palitana town. Dinner at Vijay Vilas Palace. Nov 21 Day 5: Palitana / Vijay Vilas Palace (B,LD) In the morning we visit the Palitana temples located atop Shatrunjaya Hills and crowned with 863 temples, each rivaling the other for its beauty and magnificence. This is one of the most awe inspiring sights to devotees and visitors alike. The peak is a 3 km climb of over 3500 steps from the base, while on each temple one can see detailed carvings, beautiful idols and images, jeweled statues and intricate torans. The climb to the top of the temple takes approX 2 hrs. Those who cannot climb Doli / Lift chairs are available (pay direct). Lunch stop at traditional restaurant. This afternoon, we will have a walk in the village and visit the evening market of Palitana. Dinner at Vijay Vilas Palace. Nov 22 Day 6: Palitana - Ahmedabad (220 km/5 hrs) / Hyatt Regency Ahmedabad (B,D) Depart at 8 am for the drive to Ahmedabad. On arrival, check-in to hotel and lunch on your own. This afternoon we visit the Sabarmati Ashram, situated on the western bank of the Sabarmati River. This ashram, founded in 1918 by Mahatma Gandhi, who revitalized the teXtile industry here, became the headquarters during the struggle for Indian Independence and it is befitting that it is now primarily a spinning wheel factory. This evening we enjoy a traditional Gujrati vegetarian dinner with local dance and music at Vishala, an authentically created Gujrati crafts village complete with traditionally decorated mud huts where potters and weavers are at work. Here we visit the Vechaar Utensils Museum with its collection of 2500 Gujrati utensils. Nov 23 Day 7: Ahmedabad - Shamlaji Fair / Hyatt Regency Ahmedabad (B,L) Full day excursion to Shymalaji (120 km one way). Attend Katik Purnima festival. A large number of devotees arrive to the Shamlaji Fair on foot or on camel carts, singing devotional songs, some even dancing and carrying banners bearing sacred symbols. They go to worship the deity and bathe in the sacred waters of the Meshwo River. Among the Adivasis, the Bhil community has incredible faith in the powers of Shamlaji who they lovingly refer to as Kaliyo Dev (Dark Divinity). The fair is an important trade destination for people to buy silver ornaments, metal-ware, cloth and garments, along with many other annual household items. The temple of Shamlaji stands on the banks of the river Meshwo, in veneration of Lord Vishnu. The river Meshwo meanders over its rocky bed in the valley immediately below, and the waters of a splendid natural lake, of great beauty sparkle amid the well-wooded hills. It is believed that this shrine has eXisted for at least 500 years. Built of white sandstone and bricks, it has two stories supported on rows of pillars. It is profusely carved and episodes from sacred epics of the Ramayana and Mahabharata are engraved on the outer walls. It’s beautiful domed ceilings and a traditional north Indian spire over the main shrine add to the magnificence of its open courtyard accompanied by the carving of a life-size elephant. Sakshi Gopal or Gadadhar is a black representation of Lord Vishnu worshipped at the Shamlaji Temple. This is one of the rare temples of Lord Krishna in which cow idols are also worshipped depicting his childhood as a cowherd. For the Vaishnavites, Shamlaji is one of the hundred and fifty four most important places of pilgrimage in India. Return to Ahmedabad for overnight. Dinner on your own. Nov 24 Day 8: Ahmedabad- Vautha Fair / Hyatt Regency Ahmedabad (B, L) This morning we drive 40 km southwest of Ahmedabad to attend the Vathua Fair held every year where two rivers, the Sabarmati and the Vatrak meet. Like most fair sites in India, this also has both mythological and contemporary religious associations. The Vautha Mela site is 3 square miles in area. Legends say that Kartik Swami or Kartikeya, the son of Lord Shiva, visited the site. This is why the fair is held during Kartika Purnima, the full moon night of the month of Kartik, corresponding with November. The site is also known as Saptasangam, at the confluence of seven rivers. The most important Shiva temple here is the temple of Siddhanath. What is most significant about this fair is that it is the only major animal trading fair in Gujarat. About 4,000 donkeys are brought every year for sale, usually by 'Banjara' (gypsy) traders. These donkeys are painted in an array of colors and decorated. Camels are also well decked out and sold on the sand dunes by the river shores. NOTE: the presence of the donkeys during this day of the fair cannot be guaranteed. We return to Ahmedabad and visit the Adalaj Step Well, built in 1499 by Queen Rudabai, wife of the Vaghela chief, Veersinh. This five-story step well was not just a cultural and utilitarian space, but also a spiritual refuge. It is believed that villagers would come everyday in the morning to fill water, offer prayers to the deities carved into the walls and interact with each other in the cool shade of the well. Dinner on your own. Nov 25 Day 9: Ahmedabad - Poshina (210 km/ 4 hours) / Darbargadh Poshina (B,L,D) We start the day with a visit to the eXcellent Calico Museum of TeXtiles, (it is private museum and restricted to very limited number of entrances per day and they do not allow advanced booking). The museum eXhibits spectacular antique and modern teXtiles including rare tapestries, wall hangings and costumes from all the regions of Gujarat as well as the rest of India. See a variety of teXtiles ranging from incredibly long, colorful embroidered wall hangings to Zari saris embroidered in gold and weighing 9kg. Also on display are old weaving machines. NOTE: bring your own water inside, it is stuffy, no vendors inside. Lunch and then we drive to Poshina, a beautiful place surrounded by Garasia and Bhil villages. Our Accommodation: Darbargadh Poshina - A Heritage Home set in the tribal lands of the Arravallis. The owners of this ancestral fort invite you to eXplore the Adivasi and Garasia tribal culture of North Gujarat and South Rajasthan, enjoy fresh home cooked meals, featuring recipes passed on from generation to generation, and indulge in the hospitality of a family that ruled Poshina for eight generations before independence. Dinner and evening at leisure. Nov 26 Day 10: Poshina / Darbargadh Poshina (B,L,D) Today’s excursion by jeep offers fascinating glimpses into rural Indian life. The drive through the picturesque countryside will include visits to the remote villages of the ‘Adivasi’ and ‘Garasia’ tribals who will also give you archery demonstrations and pastoral people like the ‘Rabaris’ who keep camels, sheep and goat. We shall walk through Poshina village. Imagine a market bustling with activity where you can watch colorful women from the tribal hamlets and tribal men unloading their produce. You will be able to observe craftsmen at work-forging swords, daggers, bows and arrows, potters making terra cotta horses and other figurines, besides clay utensils, jewelers sell chunky ornaments to the tribals. The Jain temples built in 1214 A.D and the ancient richly carved Shiva temple are also worth a visit. NeXt, travel to Chatrang and Bedi Villages of Gowala and Garacia tribes.

  • Krishna Trail 5N -6D Jamnagar – Dwarka – Beyt Dwarka – Somnath – Ahmedabad – Shamlaji – Ahmedabad – Dakor – Ahme
    Krishna Trail 5N -6D Jamnagar – Dwarka – Beyt Dwarka – Somnath – Ahmedabad – Shamlaji – Ahmedabad – Dakor – Ahmedabad The birth of Krishna is in itself a transcendental phenomenon that generates awe among the Hindusand overwhelms one and all with its supra mundane happenings.Mother Earth, unable to bear the burden of sins committed by evil kings and rulers,appealed to Brahma, the Creator for help. Brahma prayed to the Supreme Lord Vishnu,who assured him that he would soon be born on earth to annihilate tyrannical forces.One such evil force was Kansa, the ruler of Mathura (in northern India)and his people were utterly terrified of him.On the day Kansa's sister Devaki was married off to Vasudeva,an akashvani orvoice from the sky was heard prophesying that Devaki's 8th sonwould be the destroyer of Kansa. The frightened Kansa immediately unsheathed his sword to kill his sister but Vasudeva intervened and implored Kansa to spare his bride, and promised to hand over every new born child to him.Kansa relented but imprisoned both Devaki and her husband Vasudeva.When Devaki gave birth to her first child, Kansa came to the prison cell and slaughtered the newborn.In this way, he killed the first six sons of Devaki. Even before her 8th child was born, Devaki and Vasudeva started lamenting its fate andtheirs. Then suddenly Lord Vishnu appeared before them and said he himself was coming to rescue them and the people of Mathura. He asked Vasudeva to carry him to the house of his friend, the cowherd chief Nanda in Gokula right after his birth, where Nanda's wife Yashoda had given birth to a daughter.He was to exchange his boy and bring Yashoda's baby daughter back to the prison.Vishnu assured them that "nothing shall bar your path".At midnight on ashtami, the divine baby was born in Kansa's prison.Remembering the divine instructions, Vasudeva clasped the child to his bosom and started for Gokula,but found that his legs were in chains.

    INDIAN TOURISM INFRASTRUCTURE InvestmentINDIAN TOURISM INFRASTRUCTUREOppor -tunities Investment Opportunities & & Challenges Challenges 1 2 INDIAN TOURISM INFRASTRUCTURE - Investment Opportunities & Challenges Acknowledgement We extend our sincere gratitude to Shri Vinod Zutshi, Secretary (Former), Ministry of Tourism, Government of India for his contribution and support for preparing the report. INDIAN TOURISM INFRASTRUCTURE - Investment Opportunities & Challenges 3 4 INDIAN TOURISM INFRASTRUCTURE - Investment Opportunities & Challenges FOREWORD Travel and tourism, the largest service industry in India was worth US$234bn in 2018 – a 19% year- on-year increase – the third largest foreign exchange earner for India with a 17.9% growth in Foreign Exchange Earnings (in Rupee Terms) in March 2018 over March 2017. According to The World Travel and Tourism Council, tourism generated ₹16.91 lakh crore (US$240 billion) or 9.2% of India’s GDP in 2018 and supported 42.673 million jobs, 8.1% of its total employment. The sector is predicted to grow at an annual rate of 6.9% to ₹32.05 lakh crore (US$460 billion) by 2028 (9.9% of GDP). The Ministry has been actively working towards the development of quality tourism infrastructure at various tourist destinations and circuits in the States / Union Territories by sanctioning expenditure budgets across schemes like SWADESH DARSHAN and PRASHAD. The Ministry of Tourism has been actively promoting India as a 365 days tourist destination with the introduction of niche tourism products in the country like Cruise, Adventure, Medical, Wellness, Golf, Polo, MICE Tourism, Eco-tourism, Film Tourism, Sustainable Tourism, etc. to overcome ‘seasonality’ challenge in tourism. I am pleased to present the FICCI Knowledge Report “Indian Tourism Infrastructure : Investment Opportunities & Challenges” which highlights the current scenario, key facts and figures pertaining to the tourism sector in India.
