Overview
Lothal tour is a visit to explore an important city in the ancient Indus Valley Civilization. Back in 2400 BC, Lothal was a thriving trading center for beads, gems and ornaments. The people of Lothal and other Indus Valley sites were pioneering Astronomers and expert metallurgists as well. They were masters in town planning with elaborate underground drainage systems. In the company of an expert, we will explore this fascinating ancient civilization with its mysterious script which remains undeciphered! On our way back to Ahmedabad we will also visit Sarkhej Roza the famous centre for Sufi culture and explore exquisitely designed Mosque, the tombs of Mehmud Shah Begada and his queen, the palace and pavilions.

Orientation
Lothal
8AM- Hotel pick up
We drive for 2 hours from Ahmedabad to reach the ruins of the 4500 year old Indus Valley Civilization at Lothal. People of Lothal belonged to an advanced scientific society. They were pioneering astronomers 2000 years before the Greeks. The Indus Valley people used a shell compass and divided the horizon and sky into 8-12 whole parts.
Lothal is most famous for its dockyard. The dock wis arguably the greatest piece of maritime architecture in the ancient world. As far back as 2500 BC, Lothal dockyard was equipped to berth and service ships!
Traders of beads, gems and ornaments from as far as West Asia and Africa had an established trade relationship with Lothal. The people of Lothal were experts in bead making and metallurgy tools so much so that their techniques are still in use in India after 4000 years!
One look at Lothal and we can gather that the Indus Valley civilization was highly advanced in terms of town planning. The system of underground drainage was pioneered as far back as 2500 BC. The sewers were made water tight through a sophisticated grade of masonry.
The most exciting part of Lothal Tour is the fact that their script is yet to be deciphered! So many more mysteries are waiting to be revealed. May be you will discover some clues during your visit to Lothal!

Incredible marvel of indus valley civilization
Published on Sep, 2021
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.
