About Surat
Known as Silk City & Diamond City, Surat is located on the banks of River Tapi in Gujarat. Surat is famous for its textiles and diamond business. About three quarters of the world’s diamonds are cut and polished in Surat. Besides that, Surat has a rich cultural heritage. The Old Fort built by Mohammad Tughlak in the 14th century, Dandi, more popular for the ‘Dandi March’ for Satyagraha launched by Mahatma Gandhi, the hill station in Saputara and the Vansda National Park, home to leopards, tigers, panthers and wild boars are some of the places you must see in Surat. The beautiful sandy beaches of Tithal and Ubharat and the Casurina tree fringed Hajira beach, a few kilometres away from Surat cannot be missed. The Swaraj Ahram at Bardoli and a multi purpose irrigation project in Ukai are worth a visit. MakeMyTrip.com is Surat’s leading tour operator and travel agent.
