Ahmedabad/Patan/Modhera/Dasada/Bajana/Ahmedabad? In one day??

Trying to plan the first loop of my Gujarat tour in late October, with a 3-day home base in Ahmedabad. I'm a little feeble (chronic pain and fatigue) so have decided to conserve energy by hiring a driver/guide for a day trip to Dasada and Bajana.

The agency has also suggested a loop from A'bad to Patan, then south through Modhera to Dasada and Bajana, then home to A'bad. That seems a bit much even for the average person; it's nearly seven hours just driving.

Two questions:

Am I right about the suggested alternate route being too much for one day?

In an A/C Tata Indigo, they're asking R 2100 "inclusive" (?) for Dasada/Bajana only, which works out to a little more than R 9 per mile. A bargain? Fair? Too much?

Not too much we did Patan, Modhera and Taranga hills Jain Temple complex in a day quite easily. Roads are good so travel is easy.

The taxi price looks to be not to bad, A/c indigos are usually priced at around 7.5 to 8.5 rupees per kilometer with a minimum 0f 250 kilometers per day..when hired for multiple days so depending on what they ask for the other destinations included, the price doesn't look too bad.

Enjoy Patan and Modhera are fantastic.

Ah, I love this board - there is always somebody who knows the exact answer to my questions. Thanks!

Hi,

Please check whether the vehicle is not too old.

In monsoon, the road will not be smooth on this route.

It is not a problem for 7 hours trip but if the vehicle will be new, there will be more ease.

Have a safe Journey. I hope you will like India.

Take care.
