Namaste everyone! Welcome to my brand-new travel series, India Through the Eyes of an NRI Kid! I’m super excited to take you along on this adventure with my dad. Day 1 was all about traveling, but trust me, it was anything but boring!
We landed in Ahmedabad early in the morning and hopped onto another flight to Bhuj. Two flights in one day? Yep! But the real fun began once we hit the road. Our first stop? 72 Jinalaya Temple. It was HUGE! The temple had so many domes and pillars, and everything was so peaceful.
Next, we visited Vijay Vilas Palace, which looked like something straight out of a royal movie! The palace had grand halls, pretty balconies, and even secret staircases (sadly, no hidden treasures… I checked!). From there, we headed to Mandvi Beach, and that’s when the real fun started!
I got to drive an ATV across the beach (well, with a little help). The wind, the sand, the speed—so exhilarating! We also munched on roasted corn and sipped on fresh sugarcane juice—sweet and refreshing! Oh, and let’s not forget the chaat. Spicy, crunchy, and totally delicious! We ended the day watching the sunset over the Arabian Sea; it was magical.
After all the excitement, we checked into Vijay Vilas Heritage Resort for the night. It felt like living in a royal haveli! Can’t wait for tomorrow’s adventures. Stay tuned to hear about our day 2 adventure as we journey to the Rann Utsav!
