Asiatic Lions Tour
A little bit about Gujarat (Lions Country) where we continue for our Asiatic
lions tour.
“Aavo Padharo”
Aavo Padharo, words of welcome in the language of Gujarat because it is here that
these words ring truly and the guest is 'God' and the people of Gujarat are
gregariously friendly, inviting and will entice you to come again and again. Stretches
out into the Arabian Sea, with a hint of the desert and with a coastline of
1600 kms long is Gujarat – the home state of Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of
Nation. It is renowned for its beaches, temple towns and historic capitals.
Wildlife sanctuaries, hill resorts and natural grandeur are gifts of Gujarat.
Sculpture, handicrafts, arts, festivals also make the state rich. Gujarat is
also among the most technologically advanced, housing the largest petrochemical
complex in the country. Gujarat has always been a major centre for the Jains
and some of its most interesting locations are the Jain Temple centres at
Palitana and Girnar Hills. Besides the Jain temples, the state’s major
attractions include the only habitat of the Asiatic Lions in India (Gir
Forests), a desert ride at the Wild Ass Sanctuary and the beautiful
Indo-Saracenic Architecture of Ahmedabad. The colourful tribal villages of Kutch
make a visit unforgettable.

“Surat Nu Jaman Ane Kashi Nu Maran” a popular saying in Gujarati which means dining at Surat and dying at Varanasi, is the way to heaven. One of the thrills of traveling to Gujarat is its multi cuisine. Perhaps the best way to know a state is to cut to the heart of the extraordinary culture of Gujarat is by exploring its cuisine.
The people of Gujarat have perfected the art of vegetarian cooking and their cuisine is a delectable and mouth watering. To taste the excellent vegetarian Gujarati cuisine, is to have a Thali Meal – the ultimate delightful vegetarian fare. The traditional Gujarati Thali is one of the best ways to know the Gujarati Cuisine. Saurashtra’s typical seasonings – mustard seed, turmeric, pounded red chillies, cumin and coriander – which flavour Gujarat’s distinctive vegetarian cuisine.
There are also seasonal specialties – Aamraas (Mango Pool) is commonly served in summer while Undhiyu which has roast vegetables and Muthias (veg kebabs) is characteristically had in January. Besides vegetarian dishes, the Muslim community, the tribal groups like Bohras and Khojas offers special non-vegetarian cuisine. And also Saurashtra’s garlic spice mixture – a combination of garlic, red chillies and salt pounded together, which adds extra peps to lot of Gujarati foods. Many Gujarati dishes are distinctively sweet, salty and spicy at the same time.
