Anand

Imagine a city where creamy milky magic meets charming, laid-back vibes – Anand, nestled about 100 kilometers from Gujarat’s capital, Gandhinagar. They call it the “Milk Capital of India” thanks to the famous AMUL dairy and the “white revolution” it sparked in the 60s.
But Anand isn’t just about cheese dreams! Step into its streets and discover a beautiful blend of old and new. While modern buildings rise, whispers of its rural past linger, adding a unique charm. And at the heart of it all stands the crown jewel – the magnificent Swami Narayan Mandir, a sight that will leave you breathless.
So, if you’re looking for a taste of both progress and tradition, Anand is the race for you. Say hello to friendly locals, explore heritage treasures, and learn a secret or two about that famous milky magic!
