The February story

The full Surat playbook runs in February. The Surti locho trail (Jani Farsan, Shreeji), Chowk Bazaar ghari counters, and Athwa Lines undhiyu evenings. Surat Castle (1546, restored Sardar Patel Museum). Dutch Garden colonial cemetery with Baron Adriaan van Reede's 1691 octagonal mausoleum. Dumas Beach 21km at sunset — the black-sand promenade and food carts. Diamond-cutting workshop tours weekday mornings. Day-trip to Saputara hill station (160km) or Statue of Unity (200km east, Narmada Valley views clear). Hotel rates standard mid-range. Surat Marriott (#4/86 city hotels, 4/5 Tripadvisor) at year-best booking window. Le Meridien Surat at Magdalla 10km from Dumas Beach the luxury option. February is the Surti food traveller's second-best month after December.
