Vijay Vilas Palace

TIME : 2016/2/17 13:06:56

Vijay Vilas Palace is a 1920s palace reminiscent of a large English country house, 7km west of town amid extensive orchards, and set by a magnificent private beach. Originally a summer abode for the Kachchh rulers, its 1st floor (out of bounds to visitors) is now the erstwhile royal family’s main residence. The view from the roof is worth the climb, and the gardens make a nice stroll.

Autorickshaws charge about ₹200/300 one-way/return from town. You can walk back to town along the beach if it’s low tide.
