Gujarat is perhaps the most diverse State of India. From rustic villages to blooming towns and great infrastructural development — you’ll get everything here. And whoever visits this State once cannot stop singing praises of its deeply rooted culture, traditional values, and even immense hospitality. Though Gujarat prides in having multiple growing cities and various outstanding towns, it hardly has any hill station under its wings other than Saputara!
This only hill station in Gujarat speaks volumes of the exclusive diversity in the flora and fauna of the State and mind-blowing natural beauty. From the thick green meadows to the colourful flowers, the breath-taking hills to the gushing cascade of waterfalls, everything about Saputara is just dazzling and just how. And if we hear right (and you know, we are the pros!), the roads of Gujarat have developed so fabulously in the last decade that if you are travelling from any developed city of this State like Ahmedabad to Saputara, you’ll surely love the smooth ride as much as you’ll be impressed by the delights of the destination.
