‘Undhiyo khavanu, cocoa pivanu, majja ni life!’ is the motto of the Surti people. While the roads to Surat pamper your bike’s tyres, the Surati food will surely pamper your taste buds.
Fountain Hotel is one of the many food-stops that await you on this gastronomical ride to the city of Undhiyo! A hot cup of tea/coffee would be a good start for this ride or as one would call it the 1st course of the 5 course meal ride. The roads are mesmerizingly smooth ahead, one should just be careful of the Vasai - Virar stretch during monsoons.
Ride for another 60 odd kilometers on the NH-48 amidst the green landscapes along the straight asphalt. It has been quite some time since you had the breakfast, so do stop here for a quick snack and freshen up for the rest of the ride.
Welcome to Gujju land. You might have faced light traffic till Valsad but it does get heavier from Valsad onwards till Vapi , since it is an industrial hub. Incase there’s a lot of traffic, halt at any roadside dhaba and have some fafda! You won’t be disappointed, guaranteed.
Gujaratis are food crazy! Which is why you can’t afford to miss the amazing buffet they serve at the restaurants at Navsari. And yes, do click some photos of the amazing food with your gang here!
While Surat is known to be the Diamond capital of the world, it won’t be wrong to call it the Undhiyo capital as well! Surti cuisine is ruled by undhiyo, khaman & locho: you just won’t stop at one! After having these, visit any sweet shop around and ask for the perfect dessert to end the meal – ghari!
