Bharuch

Gujarat is home to the historically significant city of Bharuch, located on the affluent of the Narmada River. Legend has it that the great Indian sage Bhrigu rode a turtle here and settled down, thus the name. Historically, this area served as a thriving port for coastal trade. As the seat of power for multiple dynasties, this city also possesses a royal bloodline. This city is also famous for its roasted, salty peanuts. Tourists are flocking to Bharuch in droves, and with good reason: the city is ancient and has a rich history that can be explored at any number of fascinating sites.
