Once in Lothal, you will investigate the remnants of a once-thriving city known for its beads, gems, and jewellery. Visible features include the layout of a well-planned township with an underground drainage system and a marketplace, alongside the ancient dockyard that reflects the maritime connections of this civilization.

Around 2400 BC, the inhabitants of Lothal and other Indus Valley locations were recognized as pioneering astronomers and skilled metallurgists, showcasing advanced town planning with elaborate drainage systems. Accompanied by an expert, the tour will delve into this remarkable ancient society with its still undeciphered script. • Following the visit to Lothal, lunch (at your own cost) will be at a local eatery. After finishing lunch, travel to the adjacent site of Uthellya and stroll through the excavated ruins of this ancient settlement unearthed in 1920. • On the return trip to Ahmedabad, a stop will be made at Sarkhej Roza, a notable center for Sufi culture, where you will explore the intricately designed mosque, the tombs of Mehmud Shah Begada and his queen, as well as the palace and pavilions.
