Adalaj Vav is a stepwell between Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad. I’ve been here twice before, but Lon was always busy with business. As it is one of the two most elegant stepwells in India (the other is the Rani ki Vav near Patan), it’s worth visiting again. Amazingly, there’s no entrance fee here.

| From the top, one would hardly suspect the wonders below. |
 |
| The well is 5 levels deep. While decorative, the galleries also help buttress the side walls. |
 |
| This is the first time I’ve seen the well completely dry. On previous trips, water filled most of the bottom arch. Looking at the bricks, it appears that water used to come up to the top of the top arch. |

| Each time I have come, more visitors have been at the site. |
Numerous travelers visit the place to take in more about Mahatma Gandhi and see the uncommon memorabilia related with his radiant lifetime.
