Pack Smartly**:
Keep your luggage light and manageable, especially for bus or train travel. A small backpack or suitcase is ideal. Don’t forget essentials like snacks, water, and personal items for the journey.

No border crossings are required as both cities are within Gujarat. However, ensure you have valid ID for train or flight travel.
