Khambhat

Khambhat (formerly Cambay) is in Gujarat, in Anand District at the inland end of the Gulf of Khambhat.

Jami Masjid

Cambay was a major port by the latter part of the first millennium CE and remained so well into the second; Marco Polo mentions it as an important stop on the Maritime Silk Road around 1300. More recently, its importance has declined; the bay has silted up and other ports have developed.

The nearest airport is at Ahmedabad, approximately 120 km away from Khambhat.

The nearest major railway station is Anand Junction, approximately 55 km away.

Major tourist attractions of this place are:

• Gulf of Khambhat viewpoint. Visit this only after checking the tidal information for the seashore, as the gulf has pretty much silted up.
• Kandwal Lake
• Jami Mosque. The mosque is built with peculiar archaeological designs and structures borrowed from the Jain temples built at that time. The mosque may have been built atop an existing Jain temple.
• Sikotar Maa Temple, Ralej.
• Stambheshwar Mahadev Temple, which submerges on a high tide day.
• Neha Tourist Point for a picturesque view of palm trees adorning the road.
• Ghushmeshwar Mahadev Temple comprises shrines of all deities and a Nataraj artifact made out of stone.
