RECAP - How Grand Meet -Up Looks Like

Hey everybody i hope everyone is doing super well. Today I am going to share one of the 2nd grand meet-up i attended hosted by our connect moderator** @NareshDarji **I am so thankful that I was invited to attend this event.

I traveled 300km by train to attend this meet -up.
After reaching I was greeted by our host and was introduced to several local guides some local guides knew from my last meet- up.

After the introduction we headed for lunch very nice management was done by our Gujarat local guide team.
Food was super delicious and service was up to the mark. After a great lunch we headed to a luxurious **LAXMI V ILAS PALACE **which is now converted into a museum.

It was built by King Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad in the 1890s
The interior photography was prohibited so i will share the outer area of the palace still we were allowed some of the areas where we could clicked.

The tour of the palace nearly took 45 mins to 1 hour.
The palace was furnished with Italian and Rome style you could literally make out through the windows.

To make this meet up more interesting one of our local guide @Tejal had organized a quiz game which made the meet up more fun loving.

We sang a song we had a little bit dancing it was fun. We also clicked so many photos made so many new friends on this meet up and we are willing to meet up soon again.

This is best part of the meet up you meet new local guides you share ideas with each other. This can be so helpful to the community.

Have you ever attend this kind of grand meet-up would like to host a meet up than count me inโ€ฆ I love being in meet up and making this community more and more bigger.

Happy Guidingโ€ฆ!
