Saputara food, sight-seeing and shopping options
Saputara is in the Dang district of Gujarat. It used to be the village of the Dang adivasis, who were re-located to another area (quite close by actually) and an artificial lake created in that area. The lake is the hotspot in Saputara. A huge lake, it nestles next to a lovely garden, all enclosed by a fence. Next to one end of the lake is a small 'market' consisting of a number of roadside stalls selling strawberries, nimbu pani and snacks. That's it. That's Saputara. Nothing to do except boating or wandering around the quasi market, no real sights to see and no activity of any kind. But I believe I had one of the most peaceful holidays in Saputara. If you like to sit around doing nothing, watching the lake and wandering around in beautiful greenery when the temperature goes down, then do visit this place. But definitely not for the adventurous-minded.
Shopping: The only thing I could see worth shopping for was dried raisins which are cheaper here than elsewhere. There is a 'shopping' area in the main market area which sells brick-bracks that one might want to waste one's money on.
Advice: The jeep drivers will offer to show you the 'sights' of Saputara. Don't go unless you are thoroughly bored with the day. Or the Rs.300 you earned illegally is burning a hole in your pocket.
Another advice: Carry plenty of cash. There are no ATMs in Saputara nor are credit cards accepted, so cash is necessary. Additionally, the jeep drivers charge you Rs.50 for a minute's ride from your hotel to the bus stand and an exorbitant Rs.1000 for travel from Saputara to Nashik.
