Exploring Gujarat, # 2; from Deshatrunjaya temple, Vanakbara fishmarket to the lions of Sasan Gir

In 2019 we travelled to Gujarat, India. For the time being our last big trip because of the Corona crisis, I fear. I hope everything will return to normal. But how we enjoyed our trip. Gujarat is one of the most interesting federal states of India but still , but is still one of the least known regions of India in Western India, between Mumbai and Rajasthan. Gujarat has impressive jain temples on hilltops, deserts, vast salt flats with a wide variety of birds, villages with colorful minority groups such as the Ravari, Harijians, Ghats, Ahirs and Rathwa and many itinerant nomads with their sheep, goats and camels. Gujarat is still little visited. So for those who do not want to meet other tourists on a trip and want to experience daily life in the countryside, like us, Gujarat is an Eldorado. Besides, Gujarat is also known as the residence of the last Asiatic lions.

In the second part of our video report we show images of our visit to one of the main temples of the Jains in India, deshatrunjaya hill temple. You have to go up the mountain 3750 steps to get there, but it is very impressive. We visit a number of interesting traditional villages, cities and the lively,

colorful, chaotic fish market of Vanakbara (near Diu) to end this report in the unspoilt nature of the Sasan Gir wildlife park where we come face to face with a proud lioness.

We hope you enjoy traveling with by watching the video. Jan-Arend van Boeijen, info@travelbyphoto.nl
