Nadabet
Spend a half‑day at Nadabet: visit T Point (₹100 entry) and Zero Point (included), then return to your base town.
Nadabet is a border‑tourism site in North Gujarat, known as the "Wagah of Gujarat". The main attractions (T Point, Zero Point, BSF museum) are clustered within a 2‑km radius, so a half‑day visit is enough. Overnight stays are limited to the Nadeshwari Temple guesthouse.
