Bhavnagar Bhavnagar is a well-known port that offers, besides a closer look at Gujarat's cotton trade, excellent markets and a few charming temples. A good daytrip from Bhavagnar is a visit to Alang. Alang is famous in the world of shipping companies. All sorts of ships are brought here for the final demolition. If you're interested in buying old steel, this is the place to be where you can probably get it for a bargain. Alang is also known with organisations, such as Greenpeace, for not taking care of the environment. The recent project that is kalpsar yojana which is on it's way to development will change the face of bhavnagar. It is the biggest project of it's kind in the world in terms of it's size and the benefits, and of cource the investment required behind this project is also a huge amount. The project is inagurated recently by the chief minister of Gujarat Mr. Narendra Modi. This project consists of building a dam between surat and bhavnagar of length of around 40 kms, which drastically reduces the distance between south gujarat and baroda-surat etc.
