This is first in a series of tourism related blogs about India, and I would begin by compiling a list of useful Gujarat tourism websites. I would pass on more information about Gujarat destinations in my subsequent blog posts later. My discussion will mainly be sourced from online resources, as I do not have access to any first-hand information in this regard. However, the level of research and compilation will not disappoint you, that I can assure you about.
