21 Top Attractions and Places to Visit in Gujarat

Gujarat Has Some Little-Known Gems!

gujarat tourism official site

Located on the western coast of India between Maharashtra and Rajasthan, Gujarat didn't really feature on the tourist map until recent years. A very successful series of ad campaigns with Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan and the addition of the Statue of Unity have changed this though. Tourist interest in the state has grown substantially. Gujarat actually has a very interesting and extensive history that can be traced all the way back to the Harappan Civilization and its establishment of coastal trading ports from 2400 to 1900 BC. Much later, warrior communities came and set up kingdoms in the state. They were followed by the Delhi and Gujarat sultanates, the Mughals, and the British. However, Gujarat is perhaps best known as the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi.

The legacy of Gujarat's heritage includes remarkable architecture, temples, palaces and mansions (many of which have been converted into hotels ), and handicrafts. The state also has some rare wildlife and many bird-watching sites. It's worthwhile getting out and about, away from the major cities, and exploring. You'll be surprised by what there is to see and experience. Gujarat really is one of the most underrated destinations in India! If you're serious about birding and wildlife, archeology, or textiles, Soar Excursions are highly recommended for guided trips.

Do note that vegetarian cuisine predominates in Gujarat and the state is a dry one, so alcohol is not widely or freely available. Visitors from outside the state may obtain liquor permits from upmarket hotels in Gujarat that have liquor shops or apply online here .

Ahmedabad Old City

Ahmedabad, the capital of Gujarat for many centuries, was declared to be India's first UNESCO World Heritage City in 2017, beating both Delhi and Mumbai. Its walled Old City was founded by Sultan Ahmad Shah in the 15th century and is home to diverse Hindu, Islamic and Jain communities. The Old City is divided into numerous pols (historic residential neighborhoods with winding lanes and carved wooden homes). It has some of the finest examples of Indo-Islamic architecture and Hindu Muslim art in India. Explore the area on this fascinating Ahmedabad Heritage Walk. You can even stay in a heritage mansion such as French Haveli.

Gandhi's Ashram is another top attraction in Ahmedabad. It was the starting point for his movement for India's freedom through non-violence.

Baroda (Vadodara)

Baroda (renamed Vadodara) stands out for its regal heritage. The Gaekwad royal family formed their kingdom there in the 18th century and their expansive Laxmi Vilas Palace features imposing Indo-Saracenic architecture. It's set on 500 acres of parkland and is reputed to be the largest private residence in India—and four times the size of England's Buckingham Palace. Part of the palace is open to the public daily; this includes the Coronation Room, Gaddi Hall (containing the throne of past kings), Darbar Hall, and the Royal Armoury. Tickets cost 200 rupees and include an audio guide. Madhav Baug Palace homestay offers an authentic heritage experience.

Baroda is also known for its art scene and vibrant Navratri festival garba dances .

  • Where: 115km southeast of Ahmedabad via the Ahmedabad Vadodara Expressway.

Statue of Unity, Kevadia

The world's tallest statue, dedicated to Indian independence activist Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel (1875–1950), was completed in 2018. At 182 meters tall, it's twice the size of the Statue of Liberty. Patel was the first Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister of independent India, and is highly regarded for his leadership in bringing the 562 princely states of India together. The area around the statue has been developed as a comprehensive tourist destination for the whole family to enjoy, with enough activities and attractions to fill in at least three days. Apart from the statue, these include a sound and laser show, butterfly garden, cactus garden, Ayurvedic wellness center, eco-friendly and medicinal plant nursery, handicraft stores, valley of flowers, forest with native trees, children's park with train and mirror maze, safari park and zoo, zip-lining, white water rafting, cycling, and boating on the lake. There's also been a heartening focus of the empowerment of local women, through training and provision of employment. Accommodations are provided in luxury tent cities, hotels and local homestays.

  • Where: About two hours (90km) southeast of Vadodara.

Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park

The little-known UNESCO World Heritage Site of Champaner and Pavagadh is laden with historical, architectural and archeological treasures from both Muslim and Hindu traditions, dating back to between the 8th and 14th centuries. These include a hill fortress, palaces, places of worship (Jama Masjid is one of the most spectacular mosques in Gujarat), residential areas, reservoirs and step wells. Stay at Champaner Heritage Resort or Jambughoda Palace hotel if you want to spend time nature as well.

  • Where: An hour (48km) northeast of Vadodara.

Chhota Udepur District

Part of Gujarat's tribal belt, Chhota Udepur is ideally visited during the Holi festival when tribal fairs erupt into life throughout the district. Tribal markets also take place there on Saturdays and Mondays. If you're interested in India's tribal heritage, don't miss Bhasha Research and Publication Center's Adivasi Academy in Tejgadh village of Chhota Udepur. Its incredible Vaacha Museum of Voice documents tribes from across the country. It has a comprehensive collection including musical instruments, paintings, sculptures, textiles, images of worship, and agricultural equipment. Another highlight is the museum's Bhasha Van forest of languages. Stay at Kali Niketan palace hotel .

  • Where: Eastern Gujarat. About two and a half hours (110km) east of Vadodara.

Sun Temple, Modhera

One of the most significant sun temples in India is located in peaceful Modhera village. Built in the 11th century by Solanki dynasty rulers, the temple is dedicated to Surya the Sun God. It's a substantial structure, consisting of a carved stepped tank, assembly hall, and main shrine. It's covered in intricate stone sculptures. The sanctum is positioned in a way that it receives the first rays of the morning sun at the equinox.

  • Where: Northern Gujarat. About two hours (99km) north of Ahmedabad.

Rani ki Vav (the Queen's Stepwell), Patan

Rani ki Vav is an ancient abandoned stepwell dating back to the 11th century and UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was also constructed during the Solanki dynasty, apparently in memory of ruler Bhimdev I, by his widowed wife. The stepwell has stairs going down seven levels, and panels containing more than 500 main sculptures and over 1,000 minor ones. Only discovered relatively recently, the stepwell was flooded by the nearby Saraswati River and silted over until the late 1980s. When it was excavated by the Archeological Survey of India, its carvings were found in pristine condition.

  • Where: Northern Gujarat. About three hours north of Ahmedabad (128km) and 50 minutes north of Modhera (35km).

A town trapped in time, Sidhpur will delight architecture aficionados with its colorful century-old mansions belonging to the affluent Dawoodi Bohra Muslim community. Many of the houses are empty as their owners have moved abroad. Sidhpur sits alongside the holy Saraswati River and is also a Hindu pilgrim destination. It's dotted with temples and water bodies. The ruins of 10th century Rudra Mahalaya Temple, with its towering carved pillars and torans, is a major attraction.

  • Where: Under two hours (76km) east of Patan. It can be visited as part of a Patan and Modhera circuit.

Idar Hill Fort, Sabarkantha District

Giant boulders have guarded the town of Idar, at the southern end of the Aravali mountain range, for centuries. A scenic but strenuous climb to the top of the hill (Idariyo Gadh) through the rocks will take you past the remains of various palaces and temples. The town is known for its handmade wooden toys as well. They can be purchased at the market near the clock tower.

  • Where: Northern Gujarat. About two hours east of Patan (98km), near the Rajasthan border. It's on the way to Mount Abu in Rajasthan .

Polo Forest, Sabarkantha District

Trekkers should head to one of Gujarat's best kept secrets, Polo Forest, to discover old Hindu and Jain temples tucked away deep within the jungle. It was once a city called Abhapuri, believed to have been established in the 10th century by Idar kings and later conquered by Rathod Rajputs of Marwar in the 15th century. Visit after the monsoon, between September and December, for the most spectacular greenery.

  • Where: Northern Gujarat. About an hour northeast of Idar (45km), near Vijaynagar. It can be reached in three and a half hours from Ahmedabad (156km).

Kutch Region

The immense stretch of largely barren and harsh desert landscape that is the Kutch region of Gujarat is sometimes described as India's "Wild West". Its name, Kutch (or Kachchh), refers to the fact that it alternates between wet (submerged during the monsoon season ) and dry. Much of Kutch consists of seasonal wetlands known as the Great Rann of Kutch (famous for its salt desert) and smaller Little Rann of Kutch (famous for its Wild Ass Sanctuary ). Other attractions in the Kutch region include historic Bhuj, villages and traditional handicrafts, the ship building in the port town of Mandvi, and the Dholavira ruins of an ancient Indus Valley Civilization/Harappan city. Find out more in this Kutch Travel Guide.

  • Where: Northwest Gujarat. Bhuj is about seven hours west of Ahmedabad (400km). It has an airport.

One of the four most sacred C har Dham Hindu pilgrimage sites and seven most ancient S apta Puri religious cities in India, Dwarka is considered to be the ancient kingdom of Lord Krishna and the first capital of Gujarat. The Krishna Janmashtami festival is a major event there. Of special importance is Dwarkadhish Temple , built approximately 200 BC and often referred to as Jagat Mandir. Head down to Gomti Ghat, at the holy water's edge, for a spectacle of decorated camels, tea stalls, and seashell jewelry sellers. Just north of Dwarka, Shivrajpur beach was recently awarded international Blue Flag certification for safety and cleanliness.

  • Where: Western Gujarat, at the mouth of the Gomti River on the Arabian Sea. It's about three hours west of Jamnagar (132km).

Narara Marine National Park

Isolated and off-the-beaten-track, Marine National Park lies along the coast on the way to Dwarka. It was established as a national park in 1982 and is the first of its kind in India. Yet, not many people know about it. The national park is made up of 42 islands, 33 of which are surrounded by coral reef, and is home to diverse marine and bird life. Tourists are only permitted to visit a couple of the islands though. The main one, Narara Island, is accessible by car and a long walk during low tide. Visit during the winter, and be prepared to wade through ankle deep water on the seabed. Local guides are available. Pirotan Island can be accessed by charter boat but it's difficult and permission needs to be obtained from numerous government departments in advance.

  • Where: Western Gujarat in the Gulf of Kutch, about an hour west of Jamnagar (54km).

An important pilgrimage destination, Somnath Temple is one of the 12 jyotirlinga (shrines of Lord Shiva, where he's worshiped as a linga of light) in India. Its seaside location is powerful, the intricate carvings on its sandstone architecture are superb, and its history is fascinating. The temple was ransacked by Islamic invaders and rebuilt numerous times, with the final reconstruction taking place after India achieved independence from the British. Maha Shivratri is celebrated in a big way there in February or March . A colorful religious fair is also held every year on Kartik Purnima (full moon night, usually in November ), complete with small children dressed up as Lord Shiva and plenty of bhaang .

  • Where: Southwest Gujarat. The closest airport is in Diu. Ahmedabad is about seven hours away. You can take a train from Ahmedabad to Veraval.
  • Don't miss the evocative evening Sound and Light Show at Somnath .

Gir National Park

Gir National Park, one of the top parks to see wildlife in India , is the only place in the world where the Asiatic lion can now be found. Thanks to conservation efforts, their numbers have been increasing. Gir is the largest dry deciduous forest in western India. There's plenty of other wildlife there, including about 300 types of birds. You'll have the best chance of spotting a lion if you go during December through May although April and May can be very hot. Safaris run daily. Plan your trip with this Gir travel guide .

  • Where: Southwest Gujarat, under three hours northeast of Somnath (68km). It's inland from the beaches of Diu. The closest airport is in Diu.

If you're interested in Indo-Islamic architecture, you'll marvel over the splendid design of the striking 19 century Mahabat Maqbara mausoleum complex of local rulers at Junagadh. This historical city, whose name means Old Fort, is situated at the bottom of the sacred and temple-covered Girnar Hills. On the way to the hills is a building housing 14 rock-carved edicts of Emperor Ashoka , dating back to 250 BC. You can also visit the ruins of Uparkot Fort, built in 319 BC by Chandragupta Maurya, which has some interesting structures such as step wells and Buddhist rock-cut caves.

  • Where: Southwest Gujarat, about three hours south of Jamnagar (140km) and two hours north of Somnath (96km).

Shatrunjaya Hill Temples, Palitana

Palitana, a principal pilgrim center for Jains, has accumulated nearly 900 temples and more are being constructed. Climb in excess of 3,000 steps to the top of the hill and you'll find an astonishing Jain temple complex with sensational views. Do note that the hill is considered to be sacred. You cannot wear or carry any leather items and must dress conservatively.

  • Where: Southern Gujarat, about five hours south of Ahmedabad (210km). The nearest airport is in Bhavnagar, about an hour and a half away.

Velavadar Blackbuck National Park

The largest population of Blackbuck, the unusual spiral-horned Indian antelope, lives at Velavadar. This untamed area is the only tropical grassland in India to be given the status of a national park. It's home to wolves and many species of grassland birds too. The Blackbuck Lodge , one of India's top jungle lodges , is an outstanding place to stay there.

  • Where: About three hours south of Ahmedabad (145km) and an hour north of Bhavnagar (47km).

Nalsarovar Bird Sanctuary

Nalsarovar Bird Sanctuary is one of the best places to go bird watching in India . It's made up of Nalsarovar Lake, and surrounding marsh wetlands and islands. More than 250 types of migratory birds can be seen but you'll have to go further into the lake than the standard trip to Dhrabla Island. Unfortunately, it's not set up properly for tourists. Facilities are poor and boat operators are not well regulated, resulting in them charging really high rates.

  • Where: Just under two hours southwest of Ahmedabad (63km).

Lothal Ancient Harappan Site

Lothal is the most extensively excavated Indus Valley Harappan Civilization site in Gujarat. Situated on the Gulf of Combay, it's believed to have been a flourishing sea port and trade center. Although the site is in ruins now, it has some significant remains including parts of a dockyard that's thought to have been the first of its kind in the world. Many items from the Indus Valley Civilization are also on display at the small archeological museum at the site. It's open daily except Fridays. The Indian government is in the process of founding a maritime heritage museum at Lothal too.

  • Where: About two hours southwest of Ahmedabad (78km) via Ahmedabad-Bhavnagar National Highway 47.

Saputara, The Dangs

Saputara, meaning "Abode of Serpents", is situated on a densely forested plateau on top of the  Sahyadri mountain range . This hill station has been developed as a tourist destination with hotels around a large lake, boat club, tribal museum, cable car, artist village, and other attractions. It's a popular weekend getaway, especially during the monsoon season when it's misty there. The district, known as The Dangs, is home to a large tribal population and is an ideal place to experience rural India. Community-based tourism is being pioneered by Rural Pleasure at Subir village.

  • Where: Southern Gujarat, close to the Maharashtra border.

GUJARAT ITINERARY: FOR A PERFECT TRIP.

Gujarat is a mixed bag of hidden gems for travellers. Verdant ranges of Satpura-Vindhya-Aravalli, a 1300 km long coastline washed by the Arabian Sea, the Rann of Kutch (which sadly we couldn’t visit due to shortage of time), historical places some of which dates right back to the Harappan times, imposing temples and mosques, national parks and sanctuaries which serve as homes to Asiatic Lion, Blackbuck, Wild Ass, Flamingo and other diverse wildlife – Gujarat offers it all. So, here comes our 10-day itinerary for a memorable visit to the Land of Legends.

untitled 1063

Day 1: Fly to Ahmedabad and move onto Somnath.

On this day, you will arrive at Sardar Ballavbhai Patel Airport of Ahmedabad. As you collect your luggage and exit the airport, book an app cab and head straight to the Ahmedabad Railway Station. From there, board the Somnath Express in the night, which will reach Veraval the next morning.

Alternatively, you may also start your journey from Dwarka. Many trains ply between Ahmedabad and Dwarka, like Saurashtra Mail and Okha Express.

Somnath and Dwarka can also be reached by road. Private cabs can be booked. Also, over-night buses run from Ahmedabad. However, we suggest opting for train for a more comfortable and less tedious journey.

Day 2: Reach Somnath and explore.

The train will reach Veraval around 6 in the morning. Take a shared auto-rickshaw ride to Somnath, which is just 5 kms away from Veraval.

Somnath Mandir

Accomodation in Somnath:

Shree Somnath Trust offers comfortable accommodation at reasonable rates in its four guest houses- Lilavathi Atithi Bhavan, Maheswari Atithi Bhavan, Sagar Darshan Guest House and Tanna Atithigruha. Rooms can be booked online from the official site of the trust ( www.somnath.org ). Delicious Gujarati meals are also available in the dining halls of the guest houses.

After checking-in and having breakfast, start exploring the holy city. Here are a couple of places we would recommend in Somnath:

IMG 20181017 084104 Bokeh 01

  • Gita Mandir, which has 18 marble pillars with one chapter from the Bhagvat Gita inscribed on each one.
  • Baldev Gufa, a cave through which Lord Baldev disappeared to the netherworld.
  • Triveni Sangam, the confluence of Kapila, Hiran and the mythical Saraswati.
  • Bhalka Tirtha, where Jara had accidentally shot Lord Krishna with an arrow.
  • Prabhas Patan Museum, which is located inside a dingy lane beside the temple and houses a fascinating collection of the ruins and remnants of the old avatars of the temple.
  • Take an aimless stroll on the Somnath Beach during sunset.
  • Last but not the least, the majestic Somnath Temple, standing with all its glory on the shore of the Arabian Sea. The evening arati is not to be missed as it creates an electrifying ambiance inside the sanctum sanctorum. Afterwards, watch the light and sound show which narrates the myth and history of Somnath.

IMG 20181015 122212 Bokeh

Day 2: Take a day-trip to Diu.

Start your day with offering puja at Somnath Temple and watching the morning arati.

Afterwards, go to Diu , the sea-side Union Territory, which is 2-hour drive from Somnath. This erstwhile Portuguese colony has its fair share of pristine beaches lined with Hokka trees and imposing forts that dates back to 16 th century. Drop by the following places for an exciting Diu trip:

lighthouse 2

  • The colossal Diu Fort, which is surrounded by the sea and offers a commanding panoramic view of the town and sea.
  • The immaculate St. Paul’s Church, one of the finest examples of Baroque architecture in India.
  • The spectacular Naida Caves, a labyrinth of orange colored caves and tunnels covered with network of aerial prop roots of age old banyan trees.
  • The INS Khukri Memorial, a memorial site of the Indian naval ship during the Indo-Pak war of 1971.
  • A journey to Diu remains incomplete without a visit to its beaches. There is the popular Nagoa beach, which is a horse shoe shaped beach with Hoka trees swaying on its shore. Ghoghla beach is another pleasing beach, which is the largest beach in Diu and located on the outskirts of the city. If you are looking for the luxury of solitude, we suggest the small and placid Jalandhar beach, which is situated en route of Naida caves and almost untouched by tourists.

Naida Caves1

Day 3: Date with Asiatic Lions in Gir.

One of the highlights of Gujarat trip is definitely a visit to the Gir National Park , the only remaining natural habitat of the Asiatic Lions. Sprawled over an area of 1412 sq. km, the three hour long safari in an open gypsy through the depths of the forest for spotting lions is a fascinating experience. Apart from 523 lions, there are also Indian Leopards, Golden Jackal, Sambars, Chinkara, various birds, reptiles and insects. Don’t miss the Kamleswar Dam, which is known as the lifeline of Gir and where the water is infested with mugger crocodiles. Also, pay a visit to the villages of Maldhari and Sidhi tribes on the fringes of the forest who co-exist with the wildlife.

Accomodation in Gir.

You can find large number of hotels and resorts in Sasan Gir catering to any type of budget. We stayed at the Asiatic Lion Lodge, a beautiful resort with 16 cottages located amidst sprawling greenery. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, provided with all the necessities. It has arrangement for bird-watching, nature-walk, cycling and indoor games. Check out the superb collection of books on the wildlife of Gir available in its reception. The restaurant of the resort serves delicious vegetarian preparations. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

untitled 1502 Edit

Day 4: Enjoy a morning safari and proceed to Dwarka via Por Bandar.

Since we couldn’t spot a single Asiatic Lion the other day, we opted for a morning safari in Devaliya. Sadly, we managed to spot only a sleeping lion. However, the safari was not a total dud. As we were left dejected for not spotting Asiatic Lions properly, a leopard suddenly made an appearance out of nowhere and left us speechless.

untitled 1583

From Sasan Gir, we moved towards Por Bandar, which is 178 km. Watch out the giant wind turbines, which will provide ample entertainment on this long, tiring journey.

Por Bandar is best known as the birth place of Mahatma Gandhi. The prime attraction of this crowded town is Kirti Mandir, a memorial temple built in the memory of Gandhi and his wife Kasturba. Check out the gallery of photographs depicting life of the Mahatma and the things used by him preserved in a room near the entrance. Visit the ancestral home of Gandhi, which is located just beside Kirti Mandir. The place where he was born has been marked by a swastika symbol. Explore the nook and corners of the house for a feel of the past.

untitled 1603

Dwarka is still 105 km away. It will be already evening as you reach Dwarka.

Accomodation in Dwarka.

We stayed at Kokila Dhiraj Dham, built by Reliance Industries. It offers comfortable stay at affordable cost. Bookings have to be done over phone. You can check www.pndwarka.com for the details. Rooms are in high demand here and you need to call them at least 2-3 months prior to your visit.

There are many other options for staying in Dwarka like VITS Devbhumi Hotel and Dwarkadhish Lords Eco Inn.

Day 5: Explore Dwarka and Beyt Dwarka.

Dwarka, better known as Devbhoomi Dwarka, is one of the Chardhams and Saptapuris. We have listed the things to do in Dwarka here.

untitled 1709 Edit

  • Start your day with offering pooja at the resplendent Dwarkadhish Temple, where Lord Krishna is worshipped as the King of Dwarka who rules over the universe. The temple opens at 6-30 in the morning. We suggest visiting it then, as the temple remains closed several times a day.
  • The Nageshwar Jyotirlinga temple, located in the outskirts of Dwarka and which houses one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. The spectacular feature of the temple is a 25 metre tall statue of a sitting Shiva.
  • Beyt Dwarka, which can be reached from Dwarka by a 15-minute boat ride across the Arabian Sea. Beyt Dwarka is where Lord Krishna lived. Archaeological remains found under the sea suggest existence of Late Harappan settlements and trade relations with the Roman Empire. The temple is 15-minute walk from the port. Similar to the Dwarkadhish Temple, here also the temple remains closed and re-opens a number of times. We advise checking the timings before visiting.
  • Rukshmani Devi Temple, located 20 km outside Dwarka.
  • Bhadkeshwar Mahadev Temple, which is built over a self-manifested Shiva linga found in the Arabian Sea and remains submerged in the sea every year during monsoon.
  • Cross the Sudama Bridge to catch a beautiful sunset on the Dwarka Beach.
  • After sunset, relax on the benches beside the Gomti ghat and watch the fishermen’s trawlers twinkling far in the sea.
  • For dinner, pop into Dayro Kathiyawadi Rasthal for enjoying delectable Kathiyawadi cuisine with Bajra Chapati, Dahi Tikhari and Ringan Bhartu.
  • Recently, the Gujarat Tourism has started “Dekho Dwarka Tour” . It is a city tour of Dwarka on a double decker bus and costs INR 600/- per person.

untitled 1652

Day 6: Transfer to Ahmedabad.

The 6 th day will be spent entirely on train, as you will bid Dwarka adieu and head to Ahmedabad for the last leg of your travel. It will take around 8 hours to reach Ahmedabad.

Accomodation in Ahmedabad.

There is no dearth of hotels in Ahmedabad for every budget. We stayed in Hotel Accolade, which is situated in the beautiful locality of Ellisbridge.

Day 7: A day with history at Modhera and Patan.

Your first destination this day will be the magnificent Sun Temple of Modhera , which is about 100 km away from Ahmedabad. Try reaching the temple in the early morning and you will have it almost by yourself.

One of the few temples dedicated to the Sun God in India, the Solanki rule Bhima I is credited for building this opulent piece of architecture. You will surely fall head over heels at the very sight of this temple.

untitled 1791 Edit Luminar2018 edit

Descend down the geometric steps of the Surya Kund, located right in front of the temple. Marvel at the intricate craftsmanship of the 52 ornately decorated ‘toranas’ of the Sabhamandapa, which signify 52 weeks of a solar year. Check out the striking sculptures of 12 ‘adityas’ on the wall of the palatial Guramandapa, each representing 12 months of a solar year. Take your time in exploring every inch of this temple, which represents a perfect blend of ageless creativity and hard work.

untitled 1826 Edit Edit

Afterwards, an hour drive from Modhera will bring you to Patan, the home of renowned Patola sarees. The centre of attraction is the Rani Ki Vav or Queen’s Stepwell. It was constructed in the 11 th century by Queen Udayamati of Chalukyan dynasty. It is built in Maru-Gurjara style of architecture, with an inverted temple and 7 levels of stairs including 500 principal architectures, most of which are dedicated to Vishnu.

untitled 1954

The Rani Ki Vav is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Most recently, it has been featured on the new INR 100 currency.

Later, you may visit and watch the weaving of the intricate Patola sarees, which will be a memorable experience.

In the evening, visit the vibrant Sabarmati River Front.

For dinner, enjoy a scrumptious Gujarati Thali at the famous Agashiye restaurant.

Day 8: Explore Lothal.

For this day, go to see Lothal , the once thriving port city of Harappan Civilization which dates back to 2400 BC. Located just 78 km away from Ahmedabad, it is regarded as the earliest known dock of the world, which connected the city to an ancient course of Sabarmati river.

Head first to the famous dockyard, where once ships from as far as West Asia used to harbor. Beside it, remains of a warehouse can be seen. Then there is the acropolis or upper town, where drains, pot furnaces, wells etc can be spotted. Move towards the lower town through the cemetery and bead factory. You will be amazed by the brilliance of town planning of Harappan people.

IMG 20181022 100444 01

Lastly, pay a visit to the well curated Lothal Archaeological Museum, which displays a huge collection of pottery, seals, beads, animal figurines, terracotta objects, skeleton remains and an array of diverse articles unearthed from various corners of Lothal. The museum as well as the site remains closed on Friday.

Afterwards, you may visit the Blackbuck National Park in Velavadar, which is 70 km away from Lothal. The park remains open from 7 AM – 6 PM. Along with hordes of blackbucks, you may also see blue bulls, Indian Hyena, jackals etc. If you are visiting during winter months, you may spot different kinds of migratory birds here.

Alternatively, you may go to Balasinor, some 140 km away from Lothal, which is known as India’s Jurassic Park. Excavations have unearthed large number of fossilized eggs, bones and skeletons of at least 13 species of dinosaurs. Princess Aaliya of the Babi dynasty is an enthusiast of the emerging “Dinosaur Tourism” and she herself conducts tour of the fossil park.

Day 9: Tour through Ahmedabad.

The last day of the trip is stored for Ahmedabad, the first UNESCO World Heritage City of India. The green city is dotted with a number of heritage spots and here we have listed the best ones:

IMG 20181023 104035 01

  • 1. Sabarmati Ashram, where Mahatma Gandhi lived for 12 years and started the Dandi March in March, 1930.
  • 2. Sidi Syeed Mosque, which is widely known for the intricately carved 10 stone latticework windows.
  • 3. Hutheesing Temple, one of the best known Jain temples of Gujarat with exquisite sculptures.
  • 4. Sarkhez Roza, a brilliant specimen of early Islamic architecture which once was a prominent centre of Sufism.
  • 5. Adalaj Ni Vav, the 5-stories stepwell built in 1498 which is one of the finest specimens of Indo-Islamic architecture with Islamic geometric pattern blending with Hindu symbols and Jain gods.
  • 6. Dada Hari Ni Vav, another spectacular piece of octagonal stepwell made in Solanki style.
  • 7. Akshardham Temple of Gandhinagar, the fabulous and palatial temple of the Swaminarayan sect made of pink sandstone.
  • 8. Teen Darwaza, the gateway of Bhadra Fort, where the ‘firman’ of Chimmaji Raghunath regarding equal rights of women in inheritance of ancestral property has been inscribed.
  • 9. Jhulta Minar of Sidi Bashir Mosque.
  • 10. Manek Chowk, the bustling square of old Ahmedabad which is famous for its late night food stalls.
  • 11. Law Garden market near Ellisbridge, which is known for the sale of local handicrafts.
  • For city tour, you can also opt for “Dekho Amdavad” package of Gujarat Tourism. It provides city tour on a double decker bus.

IMG 20181023 092444

Day 10: Returning home.

So here the epic 10-day trip to Gujarat ends. It’s time to return home and plan the next venture while cuddling the loads of memories made in Gujarat.

untitled 1633

Some tips for visiting Gujarat.

1.For getting around in Gujarat, we suggest hiring private cabs as it would save lots of time and energy. For our Somnath to Dwarka road trip, we had booked Sitaram Taxi Service of Somnath after reading several good reviews on Tripadvisor. They were prompt in communication and provided us with excellent car and reliable driver. For travelling around Ahmedabad, we suggest booking an app cab for all day long.

2.Best time for visiting Gujarat is October – March. For Gir, we suggest visiting in the summer months of April-May.

3.Gujarat is mostly a vegetarian state. Also, alcohol is strictly prohibited.

4.The weather will mostly be sunny and sultry. Therefore, always arm yourself with ample water and umbrellas.

5.Gujarat offers diverse food. From the regular Dhokla-Khakra-Thepla to the exotic Doodhpak-Bharela Ringan-Undhiyu, we suggest gorging on all local offerings.

6.Please respect the local culture and environment.

The 4-month long festive event - Rann Utsav brims with dynamism, hospitality, vigor and traditional flavor of the splendorous Kutch amidst the breathtaking and divergent landscape. The annual event offers the opportunity to visit the expanse of white desert that lies along the India-Pakistan border.

The most sought-after time to explore White Rann is the full moon night hours after witnessing the enchanting sunset. Transcending through the plain terrain of the white desert at the sunset hours and watching a full moonlit folk concert offer an unrivalled travel experience. And the camel-cart rides to the white desert append the exciting pursuit to discover the nature’s most exclusive creation.

Rann Utsav is not only the festive extravaganza but also the celebration of life that crams colors into the salt-encrusted desert plains. The soul-stirring splendour of nature, calm & serene surrounding, rich Kutchi culture, intricate handicrafts and outdoor activities make this desert carnival a perfect holiday destination. With traditional dance forms and musical moments, many thrilling activities like cultural act shows, camel safari, parasailing and dirt biking enhance different colors of the festivity.

Rann Utsav is synonymous with distinctive celebration of life and the memories, colors and rawness, acculturation and isolation.

One of the largest districts in India, Kutch has something for every traveler. The festive land of Gujarat is a unique mixture of culture, traditions, people, history, wildlife and nature. The archaeological site at Dholavira offers an insight into the 5000-year old Indus Valley Civilisation, the palaces of Bhuj house incredible art treasures, and scores of fortified villages are worth visiting for their heritage. The northern and eastern areas of Kutch comprise a vast white salt encrusted desert wilderness called the Great Rann of Kutch, while the southwest is fringed by lovely beaches like Mandvi with soft sands and calm waters. Birds abound at the salt marshes, lakes and grasslands, while endangered mammals like the wild ass, caracal, wolf and chinkara gazelle can be seen in the Rann and the Banni grassland.

Most of all, Kutch is famous for its rich living heritage of handicrafts – embroideries, bandhani tie-dye, block printings, metal crafts, woodwork, pottery and some rare arts thrive in the district.
