Excursions of Surat

Description:
Surat has many places around, which are worth a visit, either on an excursion or even for a stay.
Saputara which literally means abode of serpents is the best known hill station of Gujarat and just 150 kms from Surat. Located at the Southern tip of Gujarat, folded into the densely wooded hills of the Sahayadris, Saputara is a picturesque hill resort in the Dangs district. Legend has it that Lord Ram spent 11 years of his exile in these very forests. The Sunset point and the artist village of Saputara are famous, but the rope car ride which gives you a breathtaking view, is what lingers in your memory. Not far from Saputara are the Gira falls of Waghai. Especially during the rains, these falls offer a magnificent view.

The Villages of Dandi and Bardoli, 50 and 35 kms from Surat respectively, rose to prominence during the freedom struggle launched by Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi launched the farmers' satyagrah, known as the Bardoli satyagrah in 1921 -22 and marched to defy the salt act in 1930. Both these places since have become of utmost importance in the political history of India.
Another place fit for a days excursion is the 30 km away Navasari. It is supposed to be the first settlement of the Parsi community who fled from Persia to India. The village of Udvada nearby has the distinction of a burning torch fire which has been burning since the 12th century, when the Zoroastrians brought along with them.
