Beautiful City of Baroda or Vadodara

I visited this clean historical city this April 10 th,and was fascinated by Sayaji Baug Park,Central Bus Station build inside a Mall and Laxmi Vilas Palace.Food and delicacies from all over Gujarat are available in the shops.Sayaji Gaekwad's contribution to this great city is so evident especially in the field of female literacy. Women seem more liberated and confident.Streets I walked were really clean and staff at Laxmi Vilas Palace really friendly.

Sayaji Park is a great place to spend the day as it has a toy train,interesting Zoo and Picture Gallery and a Planetarium too. Its the most romantic place I ever visited with romantic couples in every shady nook, day dreaming under the clear blue skies.

Dabeli is so tasty available in the food court of Bus Station Mall. Kulfi really mouth-watering in Sayaji Gunj.Chaach (Butter-milk) and Lemonade really great summer-coolers. Bus Station and Railway station are directly in front of each other still never saw any traffic chaos.

 

You must visit Vadodara if you want to see Champaner-Pavagadh Archaelogical Park now a UNESCO world Heritage Site.Its ruins lie among Village farm lands in a rustic setting and its so peaceful to wander around on these desolate roads and Pavagadh hills right in front with clouds almost touching its top. Pavagadh Bus station is just in front and 50 Kms away from Vadodara.Ruins of Pavagadh

Statues and sculptures and Laxmi Vilas Palace make you realize western influence on Royalty and architecture during British Raj.
