Morbi
Spend a half‑day in Morbi to see the historic gates and watch‑making square; add a night only if you want a relaxed stay in a small town.
Morbi is a small industrial town in Gujarat, known for its watch‑making and ceramic heritage. Its main sights cluster near the town centre, so a few hours cover the highlights; a night adds comfort and time for the market.
