Best Time To Visit Gujarat

Gujarat is a dry state with harsh summers and chilly winters. If you happen to be on a trip to explore Gujarat tourism during summer, chances are that you will be disappointed. The high temperatures will ruin all sightseeing plans, especially if you are travelling to Kutch and Gir. On the other hand, the winter season is ideal to plan your tour of Gujarat tourism. The days are pleasant and the nights are chilly which gives you the best of both experiences. The busiest months to explore Gujarat tourism then are between October and February. We highly recommend not to visit Gujarat between March and June. 

Monsoon in the state is mild and you can also plan a trip during this time, especially if you are on a budget. Most cities receive less or no rainfall and you can expect pleasant evenings. Some places such as Saputara are picturesque during monsoon. If you plan your trip to Gujarat tourism in advance, you can also expect some great discounts on hotels, especially five-star resorts.

Top Attractions In Gujarat

Steeped in mythology and legends, the majestic city of Dwarka is the only city that is both a Char Dham and a Sapta Puri . Any trip to the state will be incomplete if you don’t experience this historical gem of Gujarat tourism. The name of the city literally translates to ‘door’ and ‘ moksha ’, which means door to salvation or door to enlightenment. 

Visited by thousands of tourists every year, it is an unmissable part of Gujarat tourism. The most visited tourist attractions in the city are the grand Dwarkadhish and Nageshwar Jyotirlinga temples. The Nageshwar Temple is also one of the twelve jyotirlingas. However, for those interested in natural beauty, the scenic Dwarka Beach is not too far away. Watching the sunset on Dwarka Beach is the top few highlights on any Dwarka trip.

The Dwarkadhish Temple is the centre of all activity in the city. The five-storied shrine is a mesmerising sight that will surely take your breath away. The temple is believed to have been built by Vajranabha. The main highlight of the temple is the captivating idol of Lord Krishna. Melodic chants greet you as you enter the temple and you can almost feel the energy. We recommend keeping aside at least two to three hours if you want to explore the temple and also spend time here. 

If this is your first trip to the city, it’s best to opt for a guided tour which you can book at the Gujarat tourism office. The five-hour tour will take you to the most significant sites of Gujarat tourism as well as offer you a glimpse into everyday life in the city. The Dwarka Lighthouse, the Rukmani Temple and Gomti Ghat are some of the popular attractions in the city. The tour also includes a visit to the busy markets where you can pick up a few souvenirs. 

You need only two to three days to explore Dwarka so ensure that you plan your itinerary accordingly. There aren’t too many luxury hotels or restaurants in Dwarka but the local food and warm hospitality more than makeup for it. 

Travellers have often said that Kutch is the star of Gujarat tourism. The white salt desert doesn’t seem to be part of this world and you almost feel transported to another land. The best time to visit Kutch is during Rann Utsav which is held annually. An integral part of Gujarat tourism, the festival transforms the desert and you can see a kaleidoscope of colours everywhere you look. There are numerous music and dance performances which are a must-watch. If you want to plan your trip around the festival, we recommend booking in advance since it’s the busiest time to explore Gujarat tourism. 

Kutch is also a crowd puller for shopaholics and art enthusiasts. You can not only take back art and craft but can also interact with artists. There are many artist workshops in Bhuj, which is also an ideal place to start your tour of Gujarat tourism if you are exploring this part of the state. 

The Kutch Desert Sanctuary should also be part of your itinerary. Located only 100 kilometres from Bhuj, it’s a once in a lifetime experience for nature lovers. For history buffs, a visit to Kutch Museum is a must. Among the oldest museums in Gujarat, the museum displays a unique collection of tribal artefacts, Kutchi scripts, paintings, apparel and musical instruments. Two to three days is ideal to explore Kutch unless you want to spend time exploring nearby areas. 

Gujarat tourism gives you a chance to explore several historical gems and places of religious importance. One of which is Somnath. Home to the splendid Somnath Temple, which is one of the twelve jyotirlingas, the city is mentioned in several Indian mythological texts.

Pilgrims often combine two to three holy cities when they are exploring Gujarat tourism and Somnath is the top destination in most itineraries. Similar to Dwarka, Somnath is also known for its picturesque beach. If you aren’t keen to explore the temples and historical sites, you can always enjoy a peaceful day at the beach complete with local eating joints and splendid views of the setting sun. 

The Somnath Temple, the first of the twelve jyotirlingas, is a crowd puller for Gujarat tourism and sees thousands of visitors every year. Counted among the oldest temples in the city, it is situated at the confluence of Kapila, Hiran and Saraswati rivers. The temple has stood the test of time and is often referred to as the ‘Eternal Shrine’. The temple was the main site of attack for many emperors including Aurangzeb and Alauddin Khilji. The reconstructed temple follows the Chalukya style of architecture and is a fine example of brilliant skills. The highlight of the Somnath Temple is the arrow pillar that indicates that if a straight line is drawn from the Somnath Temple towards the south, it touches Antarctica without any other landmass in between. The temple that we see today was reconstructed in 1951 and has since captured the attention of pilgrims. 

The erstwhile capital city of Ahmedabad is the soul of Gujarat. A commercial hub, it’s a growing urban city that is at the core of Gujarat tourism. Offering you the perfect combination of history and modern comfort, Ahmedabad is an enthralling holiday destination. The old part of the city is said to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is a must-visit for all history lovers and photography enthusiasts. Dada Hari Stepwell, World Vintage Car Museum, Jhulta Minar and Law Garden Night Market are a few places that should feature in your itinerary when you are exploring Gujarat tourism. 

Ahmedabad is the perfect example of a metropolis in the making. The city offers a unique contrast of the old and new and the experience is quite refreshing. Ahmedabad holds a special place in Gujarat tourism owing to the variety of options it offers shopping enthusiasts. Ahmedabad is the hub of textiles and you can bring home bandhani sarees , local handicrafts, tie-dye handloom and home decor from the artists themselves. The absence of middlemen ensures that you get the best price for your shopping and also have an opportunity to meet the people behind India’s art and craft.

While there are many places to see in Ahmedabad and you can expect a tightly packed itinerary, the most popular places are Sabarmati Ashram, Swaminarayan Temple and Hathisingh Jain Temple. However, to explore the entire city, one needs between three and four days so ensure you schedule your tour of Gujarat tourism accordingly. Another thing that attracts travellers to Ahmedabad is the variety of local food.

Champaner-Pavagadh

Gujarat tourism’s popularity also stems from the fact that the state is home to several UNESCO World Heritage Sites. One such beauty is Champaner. Situated in the midst of dense Pavagadh forests and hills, this historic city is a delight for history lovers. 

Champaner was once the centre of all activities and the capital of the erstwhile kingdom. Over time, the city lost its glory and importance until it was rediscovered owing to the treasure of architectural structures. Champaner also attracts travellers owing to its mythological relevance. It’s said that the hills of Pavagadh are actually part of the Himalayan range and were carried by Lord Hanuman to Lanka. 

Champaner is located around 150 kilometres from Ahmedabad and can easily be included in your Gujarat tourism itinerary. Depending on your schedule, you can either choose to stay in the city or plan a day trip. There are a few hotels around the area which may not be too grand but certainly promise a comfortable holiday experience. 

Champaner is home to numerous forts, temples and old markets that stand tall as a testament to the city’s glorious past. You must include a visit to the Jain temples, Fort of Pavagadh, Kalika Mata Temple and Kevada Mosque. Pavagadh Fort is also home to smaller temples which give architectural buffs insight into design styles. You must keep aside a couple of hours to explore Lakulish Temple that is situated in the Mauliya plateau.

Since the architectural marvels are spread throughout the city, we suggest hiring a local guide to take you through the important sites. This will not only make it easier to explore the beautiful sites but will also ensure that you don’t miss out on anything.

Activities And Things To Do In Gujarat

Explore the wildlife at Gir National Park

A mention of Gujarat tourism is incomplete without mentioning Gir National Park. Recognised as the only home for gorgeous Asiatic lions, the park is one of the primary reasons for the popularity of Gujarat tourism. The sanctuary is closed from June to October every year and you shouldn’t plan your trip during this time. The best time to visit the park is between December and March.

Besides the majestic tigers, Gir is home to more than 200 species of birds, over 600 species of plants and 40 species of reptiles and amphibians. Often compared to African national parks, Gir is among the few places in the world where you can spot a tiger in its natural habitat. Leopards, jungle cats, rusty-spotted cats are a few other animals that you can spot here. 

Gir National Park is a huge contributor to the popularity of Gujarat tourism and has also put the state on the world map. The park sees wildlife enthusiasts, photographers and nature lovers from across the world and every year the number increases tremendously. There are numerous guided tours of Gir National Park but we highly recommend the Gujarat-tourism-approved tour offered by the park. You can either book your tour beforehand or opt for on-the-spot bookings. Many resorts and hotels also offer safari bookings as well as guided tours of the surrounding area. 

Your tour of Gir National Park will also depend on the duration of your trip. If you are short on time, you can visit Devaliya Safari Park which is an enclosed area of the park. A visit here allows you to explore the sanctuary in a short duration. The tour is conducted in a minibus and offers you a glimpse into the natural habitat of the animals. The tour is typically for a period of 30 to 40 minutes which is ideal for those who have time constraints. 

On the other hand, the jeep safari of the main park is the highlight of Gujarat tourism. There are two slots for the jeep safari, one that takes place in the morning and one in the evening. Owing to the popularity of the jeep safaris, they are mostly booked. If you are planning a trip to explore Gujarat tourism, this is one of the first activities that you should book. The cost of the jeep safari for a group ranges from Rs.5500 to Rs.13,500 depending on your nationality. As most wildlife enthusiasts will suggest, the best time to book a jeep safari is either early morning or late evening. As is the case with most national parks, there are strict rules and guidelines which need to be followed. While most travellers are chased by tour operators for night safaris or special on-foot safaris, this is not allowed and is prohibited by law. We strongly recommend booking safaris only through the tourist office at the park.

Visit UNESCO World Heritage Site Rani Ki Vav in Patan

A recent addition to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Rani Ki Vav has gradually become a highlight of Gujarat tourism. Attracting history lovers and architectural buffs, Rani Ki Vav is a stepwell with a unique water storage system. The marvel is located in Patan, which is the hub of patola art. An example of Maru-Gurjara or Solanki architectural style, the stepwell is a thing of beauty worth exploring. 

The stepwell was constructed between 1063 and 1068 as a memorial of Bhimdev Solanki by his widow Queen Udaymati. It’s said that the stepwell has medicinal properties that had helped in keeping away viral diseases. Besides the unique water storage system, the stepwell is recognised as a majestic artistic masterpiece owing to the brilliant design and art adorning the walls. The stepwell consists of seven levels of stairs that have more than five hundred principle sculptures and uncountable mythological figures. 

One can also spot stone structures of Lord Krishna, Lord Vishnu and artistic sculptures of yoginis and apsaras depicted in the 16 different styles of ornamentation. We highly recommend a guided tour of the stepwell to learn more about the architecture and history. If you are interested in exploring the small town of Patan, you can opt for a guided tour which takes you across several temples and a bustling local market. 

Spend a day at Kutch Desert Wildlife Sanctuary

Recognised as the largest seasonal saline wetland area, Kutch Desert Wildlife Sanctuary is a gem of Gujarat tourism. Situated 100 kilometres from Bhuj, a visit to the sanctuary is a must if you are interested in wildlife or are a photographer. The variety of fauna in this part of the state is unique and unlike any other. You can spot the greater flamingos, Indian porcupines, wild ass, Indian cormorants and spiny-tailed lizards.

Like most places in Gujarat tourism, the best time to visit the sanctuary is during the winter months when sightseeing is more convenient. Owing to its proximity to the Indo-Pak border, some parts of the sanctuary are not open to the general public. We recommend booking a guided tour since it’ll not only add to your experience of exploring this white desert but will make the tour easier and convenient. 

The sanctuary is located close to Dholavira, an ancient town that is well known for its archaeological treasures. The small town has exhibits dating back to the Harappan civilization. Dholavira is visited for its historical treasures and most travellers prefer combining a visit to these two places in their Gujarat tourism itinerary.

Where To Stay In Gujarat

Cuisine And Best Places To Eat

One can’t deny the relationship between food and culture. The local cuisine of Gujarat is not only influenced by the climate of the state but by its cultural practices as well. From the special preparation process to the different varieties, the cuisine of the state is an essential contributor to Gujarat tourism. 

Mild spices, vegetables and a unique preparation process have taken Gujarati cuisine across the world. Khakhra , khandvi , undhiyu , Gujarati thali , khaman , dhokla , muthiya and kadhi are some of the specialities. While there are several high-end restaurants in Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad, we highly recommend street food in the cities. Local eating joints prepare dishes in the traditional way and you will be surprised by the quality. It’s also important to remember that despite being situated along the coast, non-vegetarian food is not easily available in the state. You will have to try high-end restaurants or request your hotel if you are looking for local non-vegetarian food.

If you are exploring Gujarat tourism with a local, you are in luck since you will be privy to the best eating joints in the state. Vishala in Ahmedabad is ideal if you are looking for a casual evening out with delicious food, Das Kaka’s khaman outlets, Dakshinayan, Toran Dining Hall, Agashiye, Gopi Dining Hall and Rajwadu are some of the other popular places to eat in the state. Another great thing for budget travellers exploring Gujarat tourism is that the food in the state is not very expensive. You can expect to enjoy a grand meal in under Rs.500.

Typical Costs in Gujarat

Budget is one of the first things that all travellers take into consideration. If you are planning to explore Gujarat tourism, you can rest assured since the state offers all kinds of travellers a fulfilling experience. 

For luxurious travellers, exploring Gujarat tourism can cost anywhere between Rs.5000 and Rs.7000 per day. This amount can vary depending on the type of accommodation you choose and the type of activities. 

Mid-budget and budget travellers, on the other hand, can expect to spend between Rs.2000 and Rs.3500 per day. However, this amount can vary and can drastically reduce if you choose budget accommodation and travel during the offseason.

How To Travel In Gujarat?

Exploring Gujarat tourism is fairly easy considering that the entire state has a well-connected rail and road network. All major cities are connected and you can plan your sightseeing trips without worrying about transport. The best places to visit in Gujarat are easy to reachand you can either take a bus or choose a train.

If you are travelling in major cities such as Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar, you can hire autos and cabs. In smaller cities, you can hire autos for the entire duration of your trip. Most auto owners double up as tour guides and offer enthralling tours of the city. You can also choose to travel by Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation buses. Not only is the bus fare reasonable but the buses promise a comfortable journey.

Get Off the Beaten Path With My Gujarat Travel Guide.

On my Gujarat travels, I saw a meteor shower in a desert, lived with locals and immersed in offbeat Gujarat destinations. Take my Gujarat travel guide to discover its living culture, pristine wilderness and unique cuisine .

Featured photo by Koshy Koshy (CC).

On a chilly December night, I lay on the roof of a watch tower in the darkness of India’s stark salt desert – the Little Rann of Kutch. The silence of the night was occasionally broken by the howling of a lone jackal or the running footsteps of a group of Asiatic wild asses. But the real show was unfolding above – a Geminid Meteor Shower, with bright green shooting stars falling through the dark skies!

As I felt wonderstruck in the vast silence, my host joined me with yummy local snacks  khakra  and  fafra . Together we took in the wonder above, delving into stories of life in the desert. It struck me then that the many versions of the Gujarat travel guide I had read online did the state no justice.

Gujarat travel guide

I was a bit skeptical while planning my maiden trip to Gujarat, India. But over an incredible fortnight, I stayed in a restored heritage haveli in Ahmedabad’s old city, stumbled upon an abandoned flamingo colony in the Little Rann of Kutch, met nomadic tribes that live deep in the Banni Grasslands, spotted a majestic pride of eight lions in Gir, and treated my tastebuds to the delightful flavors of the state’s unique cuisine.

If you plan to travel to Gujarat, ditch the usual tourist places in Gujarat to seek out offbeat places to see in Gujarat, spectacular landscapes, traditional heritage, local friendships and incredible (vegan) food:

What would you add to my Gujarat travel guide? What’s on your wishlist?

1. old ahmedabad (a convenient place to start your gujarat trip).

The first time I visited Ahmedabad, on my way to Diu, its crowded streets and oppressive heat made me want to leave immediately. But thanks to the work of  Threee Foundation , a heritage restoration project in the 400-year-old walled community of ‘Dhal ni Pol’ in old Ahmedabad, I got a chance to travel back in time.

Rajiv Patel started restoring heritage buildings as a hobby and gradually turned it into a sustainable business, realizing the immense tourism and economic potential of India’s centuries old architecture. If all goes to plan, they could be hosting traditional music concerts and plays in restored heritage houses in Dhal ni Pol as early as next year!

Staying at the  French Haveli , a restored 150-year-old Jain haveli with a central courtyard, an ancient rainwater harvesting system and charming corners to sit and write, I felt a little like India’s erstwhile royalty.

2. Little Rann of Kutch (one of the best places to visit in Gujarat)

I was surprised to learn that the Little Rann of Kutch is neither little nor in the Kutch region! But perhaps the biggest surprise was driving for miles through this vast expanse of cracked earth without seeing another soul. The only way my host could find the way back was by leaving distinguishable wheel tracks in the desert!

Why is the Little Rann of Kutch among my top 10 places to visit in Gujarat?

World’s only refuge for the indian wild ass.

These Asiatic Wild Asses migrated from Kabul, barely survived a deadly disease and adapted to the cold, arid desert of the Little Rann. In 1971, their habitat became a protected Wild Ass Sanctuary – India’s largest wildlife sanctuary – and they share this arid space with blue sheep, blackbucks, Indian fox and short-eared owls.

Tracing the journey of salt

14% of India’s salt is made in large salt pans in the Little Rann – through back-breaking work by local families who spend half the year in makeshift homes in the desert heat. Hearing their life stories definitely put the food on my table into perspective.

Flamingo nesting colonies

When the water level falls after the monsoon in the Little Rann, the migratory flamingoes fly off with their young ones, abandoning the eggs that haven’t yet hatched. One salt worker tipped us off a colony deep in the desert, and when we found it, I was shocked to see newborn flamingoes baked in the sun and eagles feeding on the dead eggs; nature can be cruel like that.

Solitude in a white salt desert

When I confessed to my host that even though I wanted to see the white desert of the more popular Great Rann, I wasn’t ready to share it with a thousand other people, he took me to a secret place in the Little Rann which accumulates salt too! Walking alone in that white, limitless space made me feel like I was on another planet.

Gemenid Meteor Shower and shooting stars

I spent late nights on the roof of a watch tower in the Little Rann, watching the awe-inspiring Gemenid Meteor Shower in the dark skies in the company of my host – hatching plans to rent a boat and explore the Little Rann when it’s flooded in the rains!

I stayed in a traditional kooba (circular mud hut) right across the road from the Little Rann, set up by Devijibhai Dhamecha – a passionate environmentalist and wildlife photographer, who was instrumental in the conservation of the Little Rann and its wild ass sanctuary. Indeed, I could see wild asses trotting in the desert even from the charpai (traditional rope bed)  in my balcony!

3. Banni Grasslands, Kutch (one of the most underrated Gujarat attractions)

Before I arrived in Kutch, I had only heard of two things: the white desert and the Kutchi crafts. Luckily my host, a renowned environmentalist, wanted me to the unexplored delights of the region.

Why Banni Grasslands encapsulate the best of Gujarat travel

Nomadic ways of the camel herders.

Our adventures began with a serendipitous encounter with the nomadic Fakirani Jath people and their large herd of camels! They invited us to their makeshift homes deep in the wild scrub desert of Banni, and shared stories of how when the India-Pakistan borders were still lax, brides and grooms would walk across the length of Banni to get married. Their resolve to keep their traditional way of life in the confines of Banni, when urban civilization is literally at their doorstep, amazed me.

A million cranes flying into the sunset

In the seemingly lifeless scrub land of Banni, I was mesmerized by the vast species of birds we saw, and even more so in witnessing a million cranes flying together to their home in the wetlands just as the sun set.

Strange mineral-infused landscapes

On an early morning, I witnessed sunrise over the Grand Canyon-like landscapes in a secret part of Kutch – once under the sea, with minerals accumulated on unearthly rock formations to give them a strange shiny white color.

I would’ve been quite lost in Kutch without my host Jugal Tiwari, a professional ecologist and an inspiring soul. CEDO Homestay , his home in the village of Moti Virani, is a hub for birding enthusiasts, and his work and stories of Kutch made me fall in love with the region.

4. Gir National Park (one of the places to go in Gujarat for wildlife enthusiasts)

It’s one thing to go on a jeep safari through Gir National Park; quite another to live inside the park’s buffer zone and hear about hair-raising lion encounters from your Gujarati hosts on moonlit nights!

Why Gir National Park belongs on your Gujarat travel itinerary

Living in the buffer zone of gir.

That experience of casually strolling outside on a moonlit night and seeing a pair of shining eyes moving through the bushes, looking right at you! Living in a charming house on an organic farm, with just a fence separating me from the territory of Asiatic lions, was the highlight of my time in Gujarat.

Saurashtrian (vegan) food – and a precious lesson about Gujarat food

In the Saurashtra region of Gujarat, which has traditionally been famine-prone, the rule is that nothing gets wasted. That meant I feasted on sev tamatar  by night, and on poha and saunf (fennel) stuffed roasted tomatoes for breakfast. My host family veganized their delicious traditional dishes, and I promised to come back, stay longer and indulge further in the culinary delights of Saurashtra.

Jeep safari through Gir National Park (Sasan Gir)

I could score a booking for a jeep safari in Gir thanks to someone’s heads up on Instagram; bookings can only be done online and as far as 3 months in advance. I chose to pay a bit extra and have a jeep and guide all to myself – and I’m glad I did, because there is so much more in that dry teak forest than lions.

All other jeeps zoomed past us in search of lions, while we took our time, watching birds, smaller mammals and discussing the lives of people who live inside the park without electricity. Just as we were on our way out, a majestic lioness crossed our path, and led us to a tribe of 8 lions – 3 lionesses and 5 cubs! What a sighting.

Gujarat sightseeing tip: AVOID Devaliya Park

Even if you see no lions on a safari, please don’t go to the adjacent Devaliya Park – which is essentially a zoo of Asiatic lions where older lions are kept in enclosed areas and fed manually. What a pity that the forest department encourages this form of cruel wildlife tourism – let us be responsible and not support it.

Staying at Aranya Eco Farm , an organic mango farm in the buffer zone of Gir National Park, hosted by a sweet Gujarati couple, was totally worth the splurge – and something you’d never find on a regular Gujarat trip itinerary.

I spent time with their friends in the village, cooled off in the pool on warm days, saw stunning sunsets on the hill nearby, appreciated their approach to organic farming and eco-friendly living, and promised to come back in the rains and stay longer.

Is it safe to travel solo in Gujarat ?

I loved journeying through Gujarat all by myself – my hosts, co-passengers on long day bus rides and random people I interacted with were all very friendly. I never got cheated, rarely saw touts, and the few autos / taxis I took were very decent. I read a lot about Gujarat travel places online, but little about travelling solo in Gujarat, so this was a pleasant surprise!

In retrospect though, most of my interactions were with men; I rarely met women leading tourism initiatives.

I was surprised to arrive at the intra-state bus stop in Ahmedabad – a fancy, clean, well maintained space for people in transit. But my elation quickly crashed when my bus arrived – no different from the dingy, rickety state buses across India.

I ended up traveling fairly long distances on such buses (thankfully it was winter and the heat was bearable), for no volvo or luxury buses run during the day. I hope Gujarat tourism fixes that soon.

As a newbie vegan, I was apprehensive of my tryst with the dairy capital of India. I found that people are incredibly proud of their vegetarianism (except the small meat-eating population), but no one quite engaged with me to debate the cruelty in dairy farming.

Ghee (clarified butter), butter, milk and curd feature in several dishes and veganism is an alien concept – so I had to constantly remind and check whether the food being offered to me was dairy free. It was worth the effort, because from my first Gujarati thali at the House of MG in Ahmedabad to Saurashtrian food in Gir, I loved every morsel I ate!

I think I finally get the Gujarati obsession with carrying theplas for emergency meals 😉

Best season to visit Gujarat

Offbeat places for my next trip beyond regular tourist attractions in Gujarat

I’m glad I didn’t rush through my fortnight in Gujarat, but I’m definitely going back to explore more of the state:

• The tribal area of Dang in West Gujarat
• Marine National Park, off the Gulf of Kutch near Jamnagar
• Saputara, the only hill station in Gujarat
• Blackbuck National Park in Velavadar. If you know of an environmentally-conscious place to stay nearby, please let me know!
• If you know of interesting beaches in Gujarat, let me know too.

Welcome to my blog, The Shooting Star. I’ve been called a storyteller, writer, photographer, digital nomad, “sustainability influencer,” social entrepreneur, solo traveller, vegan, sustainable tourism consultant and environmentalist. But in my heart, I’m just a girl who believes that travel – if done right – has the power to change us and the world we live in.

Lovely post and some interesting places you have visited in Gujarat. I made a solo trip to Gujarat last December which included visiting, Ahmedabad, Dwaraka, Somnath, Bhuj, Rann of Kutch and vadodara in a span of 15 days.I have written my experience on some these places i visited in my blog and others will follow soon. Once thing I realised after reading your post is that I need to have a good camera. All those pictures posted in my blog are taken from my Mi4i phone. Hope you like it and would like to hear your thoughts.

Thanks Krish; sounds like you had a fun trip too! Unfortunately my laptop crashed during this trip and I lost some amazing photos taken with my camera. Most of the photos I’ve taken above are with my iPhone 6.

Aww thats really sad that your laptop crashed. Its really interesting to know that the photos were taken in iPhone 6 because they are really nice.

Thanks Krish; love the iPhone for that. The only feature I miss is zooming in on things.

These places all look wonderful.

They sure were Mani; wonderful in surprising ways!

Great post. Awesome pics.

Thanks so much 🙂

OMG, Shivya, I can’t believe seeing pictures of the same French Haveli I stayed at, in february this year, so excited to see that. I was a solo traveller through Rajasthan for almost three weeks and had the greatest time with my camera, as you can see on my posts about India. The French Haveli is a real nice place to stay. An I also went to the MG house to have dinner, as I am vegetarian there was so much delightful food. Namaste

That’s awesome Cornelia; I only wish we had been there at the same time, would’ve been so great to meet you! I can’t wait to read your posts about India now 🙂

Indeed that would have been awesome, Shivya, thank you , maybe some other times our path will cross, never know

Thanks Madhu, hope you end up planning a trip to Gujarat soon then!

Gujarat is so beautiful!!! This is a great post with lots of content stacked. 🙂

Indeed it is, and haha, a lot more content waiting to be stacked 😉

Lol. Awesome. Stack it up girl. 🙂 Regards, Karmughil http://www.authoringlife.wordpress.com

As always nice post ! I had similar experiences during my first solo (ever) trip through Gujarat a couple of months back 🙂 Also I had been to Velavadar, its a beautiful park. I stayed at Bhavanagar, about 45kms from velavadar, at Narayani heritage. I am not sure if it is environmentally-conscious but is certainly a nice place to stay. Btw, am a big fan of your work 🙂

Thanks! And glad you had fun solo tripping through Gujarat too. Thanks for the recommendation in Bhavnagar, it seems like a better alternative to staying in the sanctuary itself.

Hi I am from Jamnagar. Hotel President Mushtak Bhai is a knowledgeable and interested person. +919824227786. He will easily manage things. Give a try.

Thanks for the recommendation!

Wonderful post, I have started envying you and your travel quests:) I really wish there was some all women blogger travel package as I am scared of solo travelling, even if it were 2 or 3 women it would be good, I insist women bloggers because we have a different lens of seeing life altogether! What is a good time to visit Gujarath and Rann especially, pls let me know…

Winter’s definitely the best time, when the weather is cooler – though it’s also the peak time, so maybe early / late winter. You could try banding together with other women bloggers and planning a trip 🙂

Do you do lot of planning for you trips Shivya? I mean booking stays, transport, minute details of details of places to visit etc? Just curious to know how you usually plan so that I can take some tips. I am normally dont plan much apart from places to visit just to make my trip as much dynamic and interesting as possible 😀

Hey Krish, I only plan my accommodation – infact I pour in hours of research to find something unique and experiential. That almost always leads me to unique adventures (like the ones in Gujarat), interesting people and local insights. Transport is easy to figure out once you get to the place, as are other details 🙂

Always love reading your travel stories. Sad that you visited Kutch and we didn’t meet. Best wishes!

Indeed Kuldip, I was looking forward to seeing you but our dates were just not in tandem. Next time!

Ahmedabad and Gujarat is one of the safest places to be! 🙂 I’ve stayed there for 2 years, roamed on bikes alone in the midnight to have bun maska at stations, traveled on highways (dreamlike)! It has some awesome mid night street food places like Manek Chowk! And hotel Viram in Bhuj which had the most cheapest yet best Kachchi food ever 🙂

Very true PJdiploma 🙂 Foods are really awesome and the maska bun in Lucky restaurant in ahmedabad is the best! Few cups of tea and couple of maska bun makes your day and keeps you light 🙂

You have no idea how much this has helped me! I am planning to go to Gujarat soon and that too on my first solo trip. You whole blog has been an inspiration. Thank you!! 🙂 🙂

Hey The Paw lady,

December is a good time to visit and you have the rann festival also happening during that time which worth to see.The Vadodara laxmi Vilas palace is another awesome experience and a must go place. I had visited last year and posted some of it in my blog. Feel free to browse through and hope you find it useful…Shivya in this post has shared some which Iam yet to explore but that’s for another time. Oh don’t miss the Kutchi food and the maska bun 🙂

Thanks a lot!! I’ll keep all this in mind for sure. I’ll snoop around your blog also and make my itinerary😊😊

P. S. Maska bun is top priority😜

That really made my day 🙂 I’m so glad you’re heading to Gujarat, and alone too. I hope you’ll love it as much as I did!

I hope so too!! Forever grateful to you🙏💖

amazing photos….

It’s a Wonderful state… I’ve spent four years there… The people are very helpful and nice…

Waw! that’s amazing!

Wonderful pics !

I’d love to visit the Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, located in the Panchmahal district of Gujarat.

I discover a very nice blog here. I’m travelling India right now. I see such wonderful things ! I’d like to share my photos with you : https://www.instagram.com/topcao/

I keep reading your blog. Sorry for my poor english, I’m actually french.

Me am basically from Kutch. But still its wonderful to see how much ground youv covered there in an offbeat way. Its only one small area but that youv covered, the whole coastal part along with border and port areas with its rich spiritual cultural quotient is also worth its salt. Its really helpful though some of the contacts UV posted herein. Gujarat on a whole is always fun, visiting many times a year.

Nice post on Gujarat, We also did a Road trip across Saurashtra, and you can check out our footprints at: http://www.shoebytes.com/2016/08/19/road-trip-through-saurashtra-gujarat/

As for the Rann of Kutch, I did the Run the Rann in Kutch, and it is a great experience to experience the White Run on this fantastic Ultra Marathon. Do check it out if you are a runner.

Finally, at Velavadar, since you asked, do stay at the Kaliyar Bhavan Forest Lodge. It is a barebones government-run forest lodge right inside the sanctuary. We loved our stay there, and I guess you should surely check it out.

i read some of ur post and all of the captions which captivated me. im feeling really good to see ur hard work for others encouragement and u r really talented in featuring photographs. ur thoughts r very connective and im spell bounded. i have many questions regarding travelling. im messaging u the questions through Facebook, i would be grateful if u help me by answering them. thank you

Reblogged this on Eat N Travel to Live.

Hi Shivya, Nice blog!! Found useful. But I would like to mention my experience with this guy that you have talked about ‘ Devjibhai Dhameja’ A very arrogant person he is. I called him to enquire and only thing I got is arrogant replies from him. Other blog reader , please don not stay at Dhameja’s homestays. Thank you.

Hi Shivya, I have a similar itinerary in mind, so reading your blog was such a delight. how did you get from Kutch to Gir?

Wonderful places with lots of useful information. Great Post

wonderful post I read so far. The information is much interesting.Pictures are really amazing. I thank you a lot and you deserve it.

What is a Tour Guide?

A tour guide provides assistance, information, and guidance to individuals or groups of tourists during their travels. Their primary role is to enhance the travel experience by sharing knowledge and insights about the destinations, attractions, and cultural aspects of the places being visited. Tour guides are well-versed in the history, geography, culture, and traditions of the locations they cover, and they use their expertise to educate and entertain the tourists.

Tour guides are responsible for organizing and leading tours, ensuring that the itinerary is followed, and the group stays on schedule. They may work in various settings, including cities, historical sites, natural landscapes, or cultural landmarks. During tours, guides provide commentary, answer questions, and engage with the tourists, creating an interactive and immersive experience. They may also assist with logistical matters, such as arranging transportation, coordinating entry to attractions, and recommending places to eat or shop.

What does a Tour Guide do?

Tour guides bring destinations to life by providing valuable expertise and insights. While guidebooks and online resources can offer information, tour guides offer a unique and personalized experience that cannot be replicated.

• Planning and organizing: Tour guides research and plan tour itineraries, considering factors such as the duration of the tour, the interests of the group, and the availability of attractions.

They ensure that the group stays together, follows the itinerary, and adheres to any safety guidelines. Guides should have good organizational and leadership skills to manage groups of varying sizes and diverse backgrounds.

They provide directions, answer questions, and offer recommendations for meals, shopping, and other activities.

They inform the group about potential risks or hazards, and they take necessary precautions to prevent accidents or incidents. In emergency situations, guides should be prepared to provide assistance and follow appropriate protocols.
• Interacting and engaging with tourists: Tour guides create a welcoming and interactive environment for tourists. They foster a positive and friendly atmosphere, encourage questions, and actively engage with the group. Guides should be approachable and adaptable, catering to the needs and interests of the tourists.
• Resolving issues and addressing concerns: Tour guides act as a point of contact for tourists, addressing any concerns or issues that may arise during the tour. They handle complaints, resolve conflicts, and provide assistance or alternative solutions when needed.
• Promoting responsible and sustainable tourism: Guides play a crucial role in promoting responsible tourism practices. They educate tourists about local customs and cultural sensitivities, encourage respectful behavior towards local communities and the environment, and advocate for sustainable travel practices.

Types of Tour Guides There are various types of tour guides, each specializing in different areas and catering to specific types of tours. Here are some common types of tour guides and a brief description of what they do:

• City Tour Guides: City tour guides specialize in providing tours within a specific city or urban area. They are well-versed in the history, architecture, landmarks, and culture of the city. Their role is to guide tourists through popular attractions, historical sites, and local neighborhoods, offering insights and commentary along the way.

These guides may accompany tourists to museums, art galleries, cultural events, or religious sites, helping them understand and appreciate the cultural significance of these places.
• Ecotourism Guides : Ecotourism guides are responsible for designing and planning itineraries that are environmentally and culturally responsible, researching the destination, developing educational materials, preparing necessary equipment, and coordinating logistics such as transportation, accommodation, and meals.

They possess skills and knowledge in the specific activities offered, ensuring the safety of participants while providing guidance and instruction. Adventure guides may take tourists to remote and challenging locations, coordinating logistics and providing a thrilling experience.
• Historical Tour Guides: Historical tour guides specialize in providing detailed insights into the history of a destination. They are knowledgeable about specific historical periods, events, and significant landmarks. These guides often work in historical sites, monuments, or archaeological sites, sharing historical context and stories that bring the past to life for tourists.
• Specialized Tour Guides: Specialized tour guides cater to niche interests or specific types of tours. Examples include food tour guides who focus on culinary experiences, wine tour guides who provide expertise on vineyards and wine tasting, or art tour guides who lead tours in museums and art galleries, offering interpretations of artworks.

2024 RBC Heritage live stream, TV schedule, how to watch online, channel, tee times, radio, golf coverage

There was no rest for the weary with a signature event on tap one week after the masters.

Players have made the short trip from Augusta, Georgia, to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, for the 2024 RBC Heritage. In total, 69 golfers teed it up on Harbour Town Golf Links as yet another signature event on the PGA Tour's playing calendar rolls on.

Unlike the Genesis Invitational or Arnold Palmer Invitational, the RBC Heritage does not feature a 36-hole cut, meaning the entirety of the field will be around for the weekend. That is music to the ears to those who missed out on the weekend action at the Masters, including the likes of Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Wyndham Clark and Brian Harman.

Spieth, the 2022 champion, looks to kickstart his season after a disappointing showing at Augusta National. He is no stranger to bouncing back at the RBC Heritage, following a missed cut at the year's first major championship with a win a week later in Hilton Head. He's not in contention to win this tournament, but he's certainly playing better than he did last week.

This tournament, like the rest on the PGA Tour these days, goes through Scottie Scheffler. The world No. 1 aims to collect his fourth trophy in his last five tournaments, and he holds the 54-hole lead entering the final day of play. Fresh off slipping on his second green jacket, Scheffler has widened the gap between him and the rest of the world and shows no signs of slowing down. Collin Morikawa and Ludvig Åberg -- just as they did at the Masters -- are breathing down Scheffler's neck on Sunday.
