Hi there,

Wondering if anyone out there can help me...my boyfriend and I moved to Baroda about 2 months ago and we are hoping to find the following:

Where to buy used motorcycles...preferebly Royal Enfields..35,000rps approx.

Where to buy a good quality guitar?

Where to go camping in or around Baroda?

If anyone can help us out it would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks,
Sheri

Have you asked your local contacts - e.g. where you are staying now, sheri? I would think they would be the best people to point you in the right direction! People you get to know through restaurants, shopkeepers etc. in your daily routine are the ones to ask, for local knowledge.

I take it you have already been two months in Baroda, going by your first post here.

For used motor cycle..you may approach any Bullet (as Royal Enfield is commonly known) mechanic. In India usually mechanics work as brokers for used vehicles.

Yes, 2 months here...we live with other north american friends here and we work together at company here. We have had success finding most things except these particular ones through the people we know from work.

Fair enough! A guitar might not be a sought after instrument in the area where you are living, maybe you might need to go to a bigger city, like Ahmedabad? Are there any music shops in Baroda - if so, ask there if they can get one for you, or any suggestions as to how you can find one.
I see it's a university city - maybe try the Student Union there or something like this. Perhaps there's a notice board for ads where you could put a request. Sorry I can't help but hopefully a Baroda member (if we have some) might, but in the meantime, these are some ideas for you!

You can check out this thread:

Adventure sports around Vadodara

also :

1. you can check out Sardar sarovar dam on narmada river

2. Mahi river side

For buying guitar or related information pls check at Music college [part of M.S. University]near Sursaagar lake [Mandvi area].

For motorcycles suggestions given by other Imers are absolutely spot on.

Have fun in Baroda.

Hey check Jambughoda wildlife sanctuary and ratanmahal hills. Both are just an hour's drive from Baroda.

Hi Sheri,
Hope you are enjoying your stay in Baroda.
Fatehgunj is the place to go for guitars in Baroda. There are a couple of music teachers in Fatehgunj, one of the classes is named Anhat classes and it is right besides the Kamatibaugh in the same building as Bhagyashree restaurant. There is also a teacher named Mr. Fernandes from whom I bought my guitar in 2000. I dont remember his number though.

As for camping around Baroda, the hills around Pavagadh would be great. Then there is Jambughoda http://gujaratforest.gov.in/wildlife/jambuhoda1.htm
