It’s a really nice place for HISTORY lovers. You can see the culture and stuff that used to exist 4000-3000 years ago. Must visit place. Full review by Kashvi_singh

We did not need one during our visit. The place has nice information boards. The small museum has a large number of exhibits, a short film, and information about the place. The outdoor area is not too large, and self-explanatory. A wonderful place!

Hi Shridevi, Lothal site has two parts: the excavated relics and the museum. Spend about an hour at the museum, and an hour outside. Velavadar Wet and dry sactuary is not very far. I suggest you stay there the night earlier. In the evening visit the dry-land sanctuary of blackbucks. Early morning, take a guided tour to the wetland part of the sanctuary, you may find some birds. Then head to Lothal. Alternatively, if you are coming onward from some place, visit Lothal first, then head to Velavadar. On my visits, I have driven past Valbhipur as well, but have not stopped to visit: they say it is interesting, too. I hope it helps.

However, ASI has a very nice TV presentation in the Lothal Site Museum that gives one a very good idea of the place
