This is one of Gujarat’s most layered heritage landscapes—fortifications, palaces, mosques, temples, stepwells, and water systems spread across a dramatic terrain. Visiting feels like walking through a “lost capital” where multiple eras overlap: prehistoric traces, a hill fortress, and an entire medieval cityscape with Indo-Islamic and Hindu architecture in one connected zone. It’s ideal for travelers who want a full-day heritage exploration rather than a single monument stop.
