From Historic Morbi to Coastal Mandvi
This week, we travel across NH-8 starting our journey from the historic Darbargadh palace in Morbi and travel to the port city of Mandvi. En route, we make a quick pit stop at Anjar where we taste the 'desi burger' Dabeli, before reaching our final destination, Mandvi. The city has a 400-year-old ship building industry and we meet a former sailor who shows how this industry is part of the city's history and also shares his adventures in the water.
