Vapi: Exploring India’s City fo Chemicals
Dubbed as the “City of Chemicals,” Vapi, India is home to the biggest industrial area in the state of Gujarat that mainly focuses on the chemical industry. This made the town the second most polluted place in India back in 2008, but today, Vapi has dramatically reduced their pollution emissions.
Best Time to Visit
Vapi experiences tropical weather, marked with only three seasons: summer, winter, and monsoon. The summer season of June to August is surprisingly the rainiest of the year. It rains about seven to 15 days a month during this season. That said, tourists are less likely to visit the town by this time of year, so expect less crowded Vapi, India hotels. On the other hand, the winter season, particularly in December and January, are packed with tourists, as there are typically no rains during these months.
What to Do & Area Attractions
When in Vapi, make sure you make time to stroll around the G.I.D.C. Garden, which is just in the middle of the town, and the Janseva Park, located within a half-hour walk from the garden. This is the perfect opportunity to enjoy the local scene and get to know the residents in the area. A few minute’s walk from the garden, you can find the Fortune Park Galaxy- Member ITC Hotel Group. This hotel features a health club and a restaurant, along with airport shuttles for guests. Another hotel around the area is the Hotel The Blossom, which also features an airport shuttle and provides guests with free breakfast. The 4-star The Delton Hotel features bar/lounge, poolside bar, a computer station and even a hotel restaurant.
