Surat

Located on the banks of the Tapi River in Gujarat, Surat is a seamless integration of rich heritage and contemporary innovation. Once known as Suryapur, Surat is the global capital for diamond cutting and polishing, processing around 90% of the world’s diamonds, and is rightly named the ‘Diamond City’. But beyond its shimmery reputation, Surat tourism also has an intriguing tale as a colonial port city with interesting architecture, like the 16th-century Surat Castle and the Dutch Garden. The food is simply awe-inspiring, particularly the quality of Surti cuisine and its unique delights. The city’s iconic textile markets are alive with colourful fabrics and traditional Gujarati styles. Rander area and Chintamani Jain temple should be a must-visit on your Surat travel guide.
