Morbi Tour Package Gujarat

Located on the banks of the River Machhu, Morbi provides an amazing example of the combination of traditional and the European style of architecture. The Suspension Bridge through which one approaches the town was designed during the British era and is an example of the technological advancement of that era. The town has three gates, and from all these three, the city-centre Green Chowk can simply be utilized because the city planning was done by emulating the European style. Right across the bridge is the Darbargadh or the Old Palace which has an attractively designed front gate and has been currently transformed into a Heritage Hotel.
