Once the capital of the Gujarat Sultanate, Champaner is now a treasure trove of mind-boggling architecture from all the empires it has been home to. It was founded in the 8th Century by the most prominent king of the Chavda Dynasty, Vanraj Chavda. Apart from the magnificent Champaner Fort, you also must visit the Jama Masjid, one of the finest architectural wonders of Gujarat. Fun fact: Champaner is where the 2001 Aamir Khan film Lagaan was shot!
