TRAVELS THROUGH GUJARAT, DAMAN, AND DIU

Book excerpt: DISCOVER GUJARAT, DAMAN, and DIU Almost wherever you live, you are bound to have met members of the Gujarati diaspora. Yet, Gujarat in western India, where they originated, is hardly known or visited by foreign and Indian tourists. Adam Yamey's richly illustrated book describes his travels through Gujarat and two former Portuguese colonies, Daman, and Diu, with his wife. Her knowledge of Gujarati allowed the travellers to speak with locals and gain their insightful views about Gujarat's past, present, and future. Join Adam and his wife in their adventures through the land where Mahatma Gandhi grew up and Lord Krishna ascended to heaven. Meet the people and discover places whose beauty rivals the better-known sights of India. ++ This book will be of great interest to tourists. It is an insightful personal view of the region rather than a guide book ++ ***** GET TO KNOW GUJARAT AT GROUND LEVEL *****
