VALSAD TOURISM

The Places of Interest and Sight Seeing



• Tithal beach : Is 4 kms from city's bus station. Unlike the nearby Devka beach that is very rocky, and the Ubrath beach at Navasari that is infamous for its undertow, Tithal beach is flat and sandy. A temple dedicated to Sai Baba of Shirdi and another temple of Swaminarayan are both situated on the Tithal beach, and draw many devotees and tourists from the District and the surrounding areas.



• The Auranga river : Is a river across which an old road bridge leads to nearby villages. Until recently, the old bridge had an uncomfortable tendency to vibrate when heavy vehicles crossed it, but this issue has since been resolved by new surfacing. The banks of the Auranga nadi were once muddy and swampy, and served as feeding grounds for the levti eels that are a local delicacy. On a small port on the Auranga river near surrounding villages, there's a huge banyan tree, believed to be at least 500yrs older. So huge, that when they needed to make a bridge on the river, they had to cut down the majority of the banyan tree branches to accommodate for the bridge. the main tree stump covers area large enough to park 6-7 midsize family sedans
