Summers are not recommended for visiting because the temperature can reach 40 degrees Celsius, making it too hot to walk outside for tourism.
Surat is beautiful during the monsoon season, and there is some rain. Because of the rains, the temperature drops dramatically, making it easier for residents to leave their houses.
Surat is best visited in the winter. Because of the good weather, all outside activities can be appreciated. The temperature fluctuates between 15 and 29 degrees Celsius. During the months of October and November, Navaratri is also performed with zeal, and dances such as Garba and Dandiya may be seen all around town.
Considering that it preserves healthy lifestyle norms, Surat is undoubtedly a tourism destination. Residents and government work hard to keep the city spotless, from the streets to the markets, public transportation to residential neighbourhoods. This is further demonstrated by the fact that Surat's railway station was named the cleanest railway station in 2016.
Surat's excellent facilities makes travel in and around the city easy and hassle-free. The city is known for having the most flyovers in the country, which helps traffic flow more smoothly throughout the city. To get from one location to another, you can use public or private transportation.
Surat is ahead of many Indian metropolises in respect of technological innovation and safety precautions. It was the first city in India to put CCTV cameras on the roadways. So, tourists don’t have to fear while riding or travelling in Surat. On the road, everything you do is being watched.
Surat accounts for 90% of all rough diamond cutting and refining in the world. It accounts for 99.99 percent of the country's total rough diamond cutting and polishing, as well as an incredible 90% of the country's total diamond exports. Diamond exports account for 30-40% of revenue at airports like Mumbai and Ahmedabad.
The public transportation system is still in its infancy, but it is improving. The red City Bus, which departs from the railway station, is the most cost-effective mode of transportation. You can practically "hail" a bus to come to a halt and pick you up on the road. However, the buses do not have air conditioning.
Auto-rickshaws are probably the most efficient mode of transportation. They do not, however, charge you according to any established fare table or rate system (meters are there on rickshaws, but not used). It's advisable to ask someone who is familiar with current fares. In addition, sharing a rickshaw with other riders will reduce the cost of the trip.
The people of Surat speak Gujarati.
