Bai Harir Ni Vav
Bai Harir ni Vav lies 15 km from the centre of Ahmedabad city. This step-well, built in 1499 under the supervisor of Sultan Begada’s harem, has steps down through five levels of carved stone columns to two small wells, now often bone dry. The depths are cool, even on the hottest day, and it’s a fascinating and eerie place. Overflow channels at the top are a reminder of times when water tables were much higher than today. Behind the step-well, the 16th-century Dai Halima Mosque contains the mausoleum of a royal midwife named Halima, with elegant jali screens. The monument is off the beaten track and is one of the most soothing locations of the city.
Persian and Sanskrit inscriptions on the walls tell the legend of the monument. It is said that Dhai Harir (also known as Bai Harir Sultani), a household lady of Mahmud Begada, commissioned this stepwell. She built a mosque alongside and a small tomb, in which she was buried.

Keshod Airport (IXK)
Serving the city of Junagadh and Veraval is the Keshod Airport, located in Keshod, Gujarat. The airport was built by Nawab of Junagadh (Mahabhatkanji |||) for his private use. In the 1980s, the airport was made public and flights were scheduled. However, in the year 2000, Jet Airways, the only airline serving the port at that time, ceased its operations. Thus currently there are no flights functioning on the airport.

Hotel Aram
Hotel Aram is a charming heritage building that once belonged to the Jadejas of Nawanagar State. Legend has it that Jam Rawal, a descendent of the Jadeja ruler of Kutch, witnessed a hare chase his hounds while on a hunt. Impressed by the bravery and tenacity of such a timid creature, he founded his capital right at that spot, and called it Nawanagar or ‘new town’. Since it served as the capital of the Jam Sahebs, it came to be known as Jamnagar.
The colonial era two-storey building is built in Art Deco style that boasts of impressive Burmese woodwork on the ceiling, balustrades and doorframes with striped window awnings. Run as a heritage hotel for the past 40 years, the building is a major landmark. Despite the classical shell, the rooms have been recently renovated with modern trappings and choice of categories — from suites (Royal, Imperial, Executive) to deluxe and standard rooms. Breakfast is complimentary and the rooftop restaurant 360 gives an all-round view of town — an ideal perch in the evening. Set in the heart of the city Ranmal or Lakhota Lake, is a favourite haunt for locals and visitors alike.

Tambekar Wada
The 140-year old Tambekar Wada in the Raopura Area showcases three storeys of 19th century murals. The decaying but fascinating building is a window into erstwhile Maratha architecture. Built around a courtyard, there are two wings of the home – the front and the residence. Delicate woodwork and weathered paintings embellish the home. The paintings are done in the tempera on dry lime with the use of water-based pigments. The building was the former residence of the Diwan of Baroda, Bhau Tambekar. It later took on the role of a school which was subsequently shifted.

Nazarbaug Palace or Nazar Bāgh Palace was the Gaekwad's royal palace in the city of Vadodara, Gujarat state, western India. Located in the heart of the city, the palace was built by Malhar Rao Gaekwad in 1871. Considered to be the oldest palace in Baroda, in its later years it was used as a treasury and was still the first choice of the royal family for conducting large-scale ceremonies, including the coronation of Sir Sayajirao Gaekwad III. The Palace had a classic look, so in Gujarati it was told about its look as 'Nazar Na Laage' (may it be protected from the evil eye) from which it was named Nazar. The Palace also had beautiful garden from which its name included "baug". So it was named as Nazarbaug Palace.

Navghan Kuwo
These two stepwells inside Uparkot, are highly unusual forms of stepwells, very different from wells in other parts of Gujarat. Most wells are dug through various kinds of subsoils and rock layers, and stone columns, floors, stairs and walls are built much like they would be in above-ground construction. In the case of these two, the spaces of the well itself were carved out of stone, leaving the structure of the well (the columns, the walls, etc.) out of the original rock. This means no structural construction is done, so the whole structure of the well is hewn out of a single stone.
Navghan Kuwo, just a few years shy of being a thousand years old (it was apparently built in 1026 AD, though some accounts say it is much older), is partly hewn out of soft rock and partly built up structurally like other wells. The stairs that lead down 52 m (170 ft.) to the water level spiral around the well shaft itself, which is also very uncommon. The water from Navghan Kuwo is what allowed Uparkot to withstand many long sieges.

Chir batti
Chir batti, chhir batti or cheer batti is a ghost light reported in the Banni grasslands, a seasonal marshy wetlands and adjoining desert of the marshy salt flats of the Rann of Kutch[2] near the India–Pakistan border in Kutch district, Gujarat, India. Local villagers refer to the light as chir batti in the Kutchi-Sindhi language, with chir meaning ghost and batti meaning light.
It is described as an unexplained light occurring on dark nights as bright as a mercury lamp that changes its colour to blue, red and yellow and resembles a moving ball (reported also pear shaped form) of fire, which may move as fast as an arrow but may also stop.[3] According to local folklore, these lights have been a part of life in the Banni grasslands and the adjoining Rann of Kutch for centuries, but are little known beyond the immediate area and people continue to call them "ghost lights". Witnesses claim the lights at times appear to be playing hide and seek or following them. Some reports claim the light can only be seen after 8 pm on dark nights, are always two to ten feet above the ground, and if followed during the night, one could be misled from the road and lose their way in thorny jungles or desert of the salt flats of the Rann.
