Commence the day with refreshment and a delicious breakfast, preparing for an enriching visit to the world-famous Calico Textile Museum. Established in 1949 by industrialist Gautam Sarabhai and his sister Gita Sarabhai, the museum is considered one of the most beautiful textile museums globally. Marvel at the remarkable collection of fabrics spanning varied and remote regions of India, showcasing handicraft textiles across five centuries.
After a fulfilling morning, indulge in a post- lunch visit to the Sabarmati Ashram, situated on a quiet stretch of the Sabarmati River. This ashram, established by Mahatma Gandhi in 1915, served as the nerve center of India's freedom movement. It was from here, in 1930, that Mahatma Gandhi initiated the famous Dandi March to protest against the Salt Tax imposed by the British. Hridaya Kunj, the simple cottage where he lived, is now a national monument, preserved as it was during the Mahatma's lifetime.
In the evening, immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of shopping, exploring local markets for unique finds.
Conclude the day with a delightful dinner and retreat for an overnight stay.
