Hey guys, we are back with another video exploring another city of our Incredible India. This time we explored the cultural capital of Gujarat - Vadodara. Here is how we spent two days here:
But before that; People often ask how I keep up with my skincare routine while traveling, and honestly, it’s simple: I reapply sunscreen every two hours. Right now, I'm using Garnier Super UV Invisible Air Mist Sunscreen, which has SPF 50 and PA 4+. I love it beacause it doesn't not leave a white cast, and it’s incredibly portable and you can easily apply it over makeup.

Near Kirti Stambh, there is a very famous breakfast spot which serves Vadodara's Favourite Sev Usal. Vadodara has a beautiful blend of Marathi and Gujarati culture, we see that in food too. It's a must try, name of this place is Jay Mahakali Sev Usal.

After having the lip smacking spicy Sev Usal, we were craving for some sweet. That's why we visited Duliram Pendavala which is running this Halwai ki dukan from more than 150 years. Can you imagine? Don't miss their Penda, it's so delicious.
We took 4 Pedas and it costs us INR 40.
Time: 8:30 AM to 9:00 PM
Now it was time to see World's largest private residence - The Laxmi Vilas Palace. It is one of the most luxurious and lavish palace in the world. The area of the palace is more than 500 acres and it is a residence of The Gaekwad family. You can see some parts of the palace which is divided in 11 points.

Farsan in Gujarati food holds a very important place, so here we tried the King of all Farsans - The Tam Tam by Shriram Tam Tam Vala. It is a mixture of 26 different parsons like sev, gathiya, chivda, wafer, peanuts and they served it with some onion, raw mango, green chilis, pomegranate, squeezed lemon, grapes. It was so delicious and has so many flavours. If you love to eat chaat then don't miss it.

Last spot of our trip was Sursagar lake, which is again in the city centre and very very close to Mandovi gate, you can even do shopping in this area as Mangal market is right opposite from this lake. A very peaceful place to end the day.
