Highlights
In this tour we will visit the magnificent Sun temple of Modhera and the grandest Step Well ever built. At Rani ki vav, you will listen to the story of how step wells played an integral part of the lives of Indian women in medieval times. It is at step wells where the women socialized. We will not only appreciate the incredible design and exquisite sculptures but also the reverence people had for water in these parts. The tour also includes an enriching experience at Patan, witnessing Patola silk saree weaving.
