Why Visit Gujarat

Few states pack this much into one trip. You can pray at a Jyotirlinga on the Arabian Sea in the morning and be on a lion safari the next day.

• Gujarat has the longest coastline in India. A 2025 re-measurement puts it at 2,340.62 km, up from the 1,600 km figure used earlier.
• Asiatic lions are the pride of Gujarat. The Saurashtra region of Gujarat is the only place in the world where they live in the wild. The 2025 lion census counted 891 lions, up from 674 in 2020, spread across 11 districts. Jeep safaris in Gir run from 16 October to 15 June.
• The Statue of Unity (statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel) at Ekta Nagar is 182 metres tall. Gujarat Tourism lists it as the world’s tallest statue.
• Don’t miss the White Salt Desert of the Rann of Kutch, where the annual Rann Utsav is celebrated with folk dances, music, crafts and local cuisine.
• Gujarat has four UNESCO World Heritage Sites: Champaner-Pavagadh, Rani ki Vav (Patan), the Historic City of Ahmedabad and Dholavira.
• For eco-tourism, there are the wetlands of Nal Sarovar, the Wild Ass Sanctuary in the Little Rann of Kutch and the Marine National Park near Jamnagar.

Gujarat Tour Package Price

The price of a Gujarat tour package depends mainly on the number of days, hotel category and season. Based on our current packages (per person, twin sharing):

Trip Length	Price Range
3 Days / 2 Nights	₹12,500 to ₹16,500
4 to 5 Days	₹18,500 to ₹19,500
6 to 7 Days	₹18,500 to ₹32,500
8 to 15 Days	₹30,500 to ₹58,500

These are starting prices and depend on travel dates and hotel availability. Hotel rates in Gujarat are usually higher during Navratri, Diwali, the Christmas-New Year week and Rann Utsav full moon dates, so a trip in those weeks costs more. We also offer packages with flights or train travel from your city.

Best Time to Go for the Gujarat Trip

The best time to visit Gujarat depends on the activities you want to do. Most tourists prefer to come here in winter, from October to March. These months have pleasant weather for sightseeing and host many cultural events, so this is a good time to choose Gujarat holiday packages.

Besides the peak season, there are other times too when you can visit the land of lions. Here’s the complete overview:

Winter (October to March): Best Time to Visit

Days are pleasant, with temperatures anywhere from about 12°C to 29°C. In Kutch, night temperatures in December and January can drop to around 2°C to 5°C, so carry warm clothes for the Rann.

Top Things to Do in Gujarat in Winter

• Visit Dwarka, Somnath Temple and Champaner-Pavagadh.
• Take part in the Rann Utsav (1 November 2026 to 7 March 2027) and enjoy the cultural performances, moonlit desert views and crafts.
• Go for wildlife safaris at Gir National Park (open from 16 October to 15 June).
• Join the Garba nights and Dandiya Raas during Navratri (11 to 19 October 2026). The state’s Vibrant Navratri Festival is listed for GMDC Ground, Ahmedabad, from 11 to 20 October 2026.
• Watch the sky fill with kites during Uttarayan and the International Kite Festival (January).
• Watch migratory birds at Nal Sarovar and Thol Lake Bird Sanctuary (November to February).

Monsoon (July to September)

The rain cools the weather, though it stays humid. One of the good things about visiting during this period is that places are less crowded, so you can enjoy your Gujarat sightseeing in a calmer environment. Avoid swimming and boat rides when the sea is rough, and check weather alerts before driving on coastal roads. Gir jungle safaris stay closed in this season.

Top Things to Do in Gujarat during Monsoon

• Visit Saputara, one of the best hill stations in Gujarat. In the monsoon, it is covered in green.
• Enjoy the Saputara Monsoon Festival held here during the rains.
• See the Gira Waterfalls near Waghai, about 49 km from Saputara. It is also a good picnic spot for families.
• Visit Polo Forest in Sabarkantha district for camping, trekking, cycling and old temple ruins.

Summer (April to June)

The weather can get very hot, often above 40°C. It suits tourists on a budget, as hotels in Gujarat are cheaper in this season.

Top Things to Do in Gujarat in Summer

• Visit Mandvi Beach and Diu in the early morning or evening, when it is cooler.
• Try Kesar mangoes from the Gir and Junagadh area, which are in season in May and June.
• Book an early-morning safari in Gir (6 AM to 9 AM from March), which stays open till 15 June.

Places to Visit on a Gujarat Trip

Gujarat offers you culture, history, wildlife and pilgrimage in one trip. There are several interesting places covered in our Gujarat tour itineraries. Here’s the list:

Ahmedabad

Gujarat’s largest city was the first in India to be declared a UNESCO World Heritage City (2017). Places to see:

• Sabarmati Ashram: Mahatma Gandhi lived here from 1917 to 1930 and started the Dandi March from here. Include it in your Gujarat holiday package.

This ancient city is a major Hindu pilgrimage site with several must-see places.

• Dwarkadhish Temple: Dedicated to Lord Krishna, it is one of the four Char Dham pilgrimage sites.

Somnath Temple

Somnath is the first of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. Devotees make sure to visit this temple when they are in Gujarat. The evening sound and light show is not held in the monsoon; check the current timing on somnath.org before you go. Sasan Gir is 45 to 60 km away depending on the route, and Diu is 85 to 90 km, so the three are easy to combine in one trip.

Statue of Unity

The 182-metre statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel stands at Ekta Nagar (Kevadia) near the Sardar Sarovar Dam. It is about 90 km from Vadodara and 200 km from Ahmedabad, and Ekta Nagar has its own railway station. Plan around Mondays: as per Gujarat Tourism, the statue is closed that day and open from Tuesday to Sunday, 8 AM to 6 PM, with a laser light and sound show from 7:30 PM.

Vadodara

Vadodara is known for its palaces, classical music and art. Include the following places in your Gujarat holiday package:

• Laxmi Vilas Palace: See Indo-Saracenic architecture and the grandeur of this palace.
• Sayaji Gardens: A large park with a museum and a zoo, good for a day out with family.
• Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park: A UNESCO World Heritage Site in Panchmahal district, about 50 km from Vadodara, with temples, mosques and forts.

Rani ki Vav in Patan is an 11th-century stepwell and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Sun Temple at Modhera is close by. Palitana, near Bhavnagar, is known for the Jain temples on Shatrunjaya hill.

Diu

Diu is not part of Gujarat. It is part of the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, but it is reached through Gujarat and fits easily into a Somnath and Gir tour. Diu Fort and Nagoa Beach are the main attractions.

• Book Permits Early: Gir Jungle Safari permits are sold only online, and weekend slots sell out. The White Rann needs a separate entry permit.

• Book Hotels in Advance: Hotels in Gujarat range from budget to mid-range and luxury. You will also find budget guesthouses, Dharamshalas and tents for the Rann Utsav. Book early, as hotels fill up in peak season.
