      The palace’s east façade has a carved sandstone frieze depicting the ruler’s coronation procession, a detail often missed on standard tours. A guided walk usually stops there to explain the symbolism. If you’re staying near Rajkot, the staff at Lemon Tree Hotel Rajkot can arrange a private tour that focuses on that frieze and the adjoining balcony where royal proclamations were read.

        You could start at the fort early, then hop on a local bus to Rushikonda Beach. From there, take a short taxi or rickshaw to the zoo, which is a quick 20 minute ride. After the zoo, head to Kailasagiri via a local bus; it’s about 15 km and usually less busy after 10 am. If you’re staying nearby, the Fortune Inn Sree Kanya has a convenient parking lot for scooters or bikes.

          If you’re only there for the light show, an hour is plenty to see the tower and enjoy the evening glow. For a quick panoramic view, head up a bit earlier around sunset when the lights start turning on. Afterward, a stroll to Sukhdev Park is easy, and you can grab a quick bite at the local stalls nearby. If you need a place to rest, the Clubhouse Hotel Chandigarh Mohali is only about five kilometres away. TravelIndiaDeals may earn a commission if you book through this link.
