The port city of Surat is also known as the Diamond City of India and the Embroidery Capital of India. Brimming in shops and manufacturing companies, it boasts unique fabrics and fashion pieces. It is also where a large percentage of the world’s diamonds are polished and processed into stunning jewelry, but there is so much more to see. Explore the Tapi riverside, lined by Hindu temples, nature parks, and family-friendly attractions like the local aquarium. The coast is another must-see, and Dumas Beach's black sand is partly responsible for its reputation as one of India’s top haunted spots. Don't forget to indulge in traditional Gujarati recipes at the local restaurants while visiting, too.
