Day 1

IN patan, we visited this beautiful stepwell called Rani ki vaav. Its been declared a eorld heritage monument. The carvings on the walls and pillars of the stepwell is very detailed snd intricate. Story has it that this stepwell was buried deep under and was discovered as a part of archaeology excavation. There is no water tgere though currently, but the place is worth the visit just to watch the intricate details on the walls and pillars. There is a huge lawn outside which is well maintained. A must visit location if you are around ahmedabad as it is some 2 hours drive from ahmedabad city.
