Festivals and events worth timing your visit
The Navratri festival, usually in October, is celebrated with enthusiasm in Dahod. Garba dances and traditional music performances are common throughout the city. Diwali, the festival of lights, typically falls in late October or early November. Homes and businesses are decorated with lights and diyas, and families exchange sweets and gifts. Holi, the festival of colors, is celebrated in March with playful throwing of colored powder and water. Uttarayan, the kite flying festival, takes place in January. The skies are filled with colorful kites, and special foods are prepared.
What to pack
If visiting during winter (December to February), pack light woolens and comfortable clothing. For the monsoon season (late June to September), carry rain gear like a raincoat or umbrella, and wear waterproof footwear. During the hot summer months (March to May), pack light cotton clothing, sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended regardless of the season, as you'll likely be doing a lot of walking. As Dahod is a relatively conservative area, modest clothing is advisable, especially when visiting religious sites.
Saving money
The cheapest time to visit Dahod is generally during the monsoon season (July to September), when hotel rates can be 20-30% lower. Flights are usually cheaper during this period as well. For budget accommodations, look for guesthouses and smaller hotels in the central part of the city. Eating at local restaurants and street food stalls will save you money on meals. Booking your accommodations and transportation 4-6 weeks in advance can also help you secure better deals. Dahod does not have its own airport. The nearest airport is Vadodara (BDQ).
