Diwali brings in the Hindu New Year and also ushers in holidays for a large portion of people living in India. Like countless others, we also decided to holiday away from home with the family. This time it was Saputara, a hill station in the south of Gujarat, in the Dangs district.
Thanks to a contact in the Tourism Corporation of Gujarat Limited, we could book enough rooms for all of us at a distance of three weeks prior to our scheduled departure, in the Toran Hill Resort at Saputara. It is located at the entrance as it were, into Saputara. The town or whatever little of it is there, unfolds from the traffic circle at the entrance of the winding road as it reaches the plateau atop the hills.
Partly out of human tendency to do so and partly out of the staggering contrast, I could not but help compare my experience of this place 14 years back and now.
