Dagstur fra Ahmedabad til Lothal, 4500 år gammel Indus Valley Civilization
Beskrivelse
Lothal tour er et besøg for at udforske en vigtig by i den gamle Indus Valley Civilization. Tilbage i 2400 f.Kr. var Lothal et blomstrende handelscenter for perler, perler og ornamenter. Folkene i Lothal og andre Indus Valley-steder var banebrydende astronomer og ekspertmetallurgister også. De var mestre i byplanlægning med udførlige underjordiske afløbssystemer. I selskab med en ekspert vil vi udforske denne fascinerende antikke civilisation med dets mystiske script, der stadig er uafkåret! På vej tilbage til Ahmedabad vil vi også besøge Sarkhej Roza det berømte centrum for sufi kultur og udforske udsøgt designede moskeen, graverne Mehmud Shah Begada og hans dronning, paladset og pavillerne.

8 AM- Hotel afhentning Vi kører i 2 timer fra Ahmedabad for at nå ruinerne af den 4500 år gamle Indus Valley Civilization i Lothal. Lothals folk tilhørte et avanceret videnskabeligt samfund. De var banebrydende astronomer 2000 år før grækerne. Indusdalen folk brugte et skall kompas og opdelte horisonten og himlen i 8-12 hele dele. Lothal er mest berømt for sin værft. Havnen er uden tvivl det største stykke maritime arkitektur i den antikke verden. Så langt tilbage som 2500 f.Kr. var Lothal Dockyard udstyret til kaj og service skibe! Købere af perler, perler og ornamenter fra så vidt som Vestasien og Afrika havde et etableret handelsforhold med Lothal. Lothals folk var eksperter i værktøj til beading og metallurgi så meget, at deres teknikker stadig er i brug i Indien efter 4000 år! Et kig på Lothal, og vi kan indsamle, at indusdalenes civilisation var meget avanceret med hensyn til byplanlægning. Systemet med underjordisk dræning var banebrydende så langt tilbage som 2500 f.Kr. Afløbene blev lavet vandtætte gennem en sofistikeret klasse af murværk. Den mest spændende del af Lothal Tour er det faktum, at deres script endnu ikke skal dechiffreres! Så mange flere mysterier venter på at blive afsløret. Måske vil du opdage nogle spor under dit besøg i Lothal!
På vej tilbage fra Lohtal til Ahmedabad, vil vi også besøge Sarkhej Roza, det berømte centrum for sufi kultur. Det er i Sarkhej Roza, at den legendariske Sufi-saint Shaikh Ahmed Ganj Baksh boede. Vi vil udforske den udsøgte designede moske, gravene til Mehmud Shah Begada og hans dronning, paladset og pavillerne. 4 PM-slutningen af ?? runden

Great experience visiting Lothal - the oldest dry dock dating back to the Harappan period. Guide Anand Bhavsar was very knowledgeable. Drive Gautambhai was a patient and safe driver. Of note, the museum is closed. A massive new National Maritime Heritage Complex is under construction and will have 14 galleries depicting maritime history of India from the Harappan era to present.
I went to Lothal with a guide (Anant) and driver (Guatam). They were both very enthusiastic to ensure I had a great day. I loved the extra effort Anant went to to tell me about Ahmedabad and the scenery along the route, even stopping the car to tell me about farming when I showed an interest. The visit to Lothal was very interesting indeed- really instructive for a westerner like me with a rather western-centric education about the development of civilisation. I had a really enjoyable lunch with Guatam and Anant on the way home- and that was another opportunity to learn about real Indian life. Anant also took me to another destination that interested me on the way home- that was greatly appreciated as he was keen to ensure the trip was interesting to me.
It was truly enlightening to learn how the human species lived centuries ago. From house floor planning to trade conduction and punishing those who broke the law, But I have to admit it was our guide Mr Girsh Gupta that really made our trip worthwhile, as, without his descriptive explanation, he was able to bring back the past to life just through his words. Overall I am glad to have signed up with Five Senses Tours and have met Mr Girsh as he is truly a gem on God's green earth.
It has long been my dream to visit an indus valley civilization site. My opportunity came when I was in Ahmedabad and decided to take a tour of Lothal with Five senses tours. It was a dream fulfilled. Our guide was amazing and made us experience how life was here 4500 years ago. The mounds and drainage system can still be seen. The brick walls are still there. The museum here has an amazing collection of clay tablets and seals. It's incredible such an advanced civilisation was thriving 4500 years back and we hardly know anything about them. This is a must visit and one of the most important places to visit in India.
