Gujarat Tour Packages

Gujarat holds sights no other state can offer: the only wild lions outside Africa, a white salt desert that glows under a full moon, India's first UNESCO World Heritage city, and a temple coastline that anchors two of Hinduism's most storied shrines. It just asks you to drive between them.

Our Gujarat tour packages are ready-made itineraries linking those anchors sensibly. Open one and customise every day to match your dates, budget and pace.

Why visit Gujarat

Ahmedabad starts the trip: the pol neighbourhoods and carved wooden facades of the UNESCO-listed old city, the Sabarmati Ashram, and street food worth planning evenings around - our guide to places to visit in Ahmedabad covers it lane by lane. From there the state fans out. Northwest lies Kutch and the White Rann, the salt flat that becomes otherworldly at sunset and moonrise, ringed by craft villages where block printing, embroidery and rogan art are still working trades.

South and west are the wild and the sacred: Gir National Park, the last home of the Asiatic lion, and the temple coast running from Somnath's shoreline shrine to Dwarka at the peninsula's tip. The Statue of Unity - the world's tallest statue - makes a worthwhile stop on itineraries routing east of Vadodara.

Best time to visit Gujarat

October to March is the season everywhere in the state - dry, sunny days for the old cities and the coast, and cold, clear nights on the Rann. The Rann Utsav tent festival runs through these months, with full-moon nights the ones to plan around. Gir's safaris also run mid-October to mid-June, with sightings improving as winter dries the park; the reserve closes entirely for the monsoon. April onward the heat builds fast, and summer trips need early-morning scheduling.

Each package below is a complete day-by-day plan. Pick one, then fine-tune hotels, flights and activities in Tripmojo and keep everyone on the trip in sync.

How many days do you need in Gujarat

Six days covers Ahmedabad plus one anchor done properly - the Rann with its craft villages, or Gir with the temple coast. Eight days fits both arms of the state without rushing, which is the full classic trip. The distances are the constraint: Bhuj and the Rann sit six-plus hours from Ahmedabad, and Gir about the same in the other direction, so build the itinerary around one direction per trip unless you have the full week.

Getting to Gujarat

Ahmedabad is the gateway, with flights from every major Indian city and good rail links. Bhuj (for the Rann), Rajkot and Diu serve the western arms, letting longer itineraries fly one leg instead of backtracking. On the ground, one hired vehicle for the circuit is the standard - the highways are among India's better ones, and the drives between anchors are half-day affairs best broken with a stepwell or temple stop. Note that alcohol is prohibited in Gujarat; visitors can obtain permits at designated shops in larger hotels.

Where to stay in Gujarat

Ahmedabad ranges from heritage havelis in the old city to business hotels near the river. At the Rann, the winter tent cities near Dhordo are the experience most visitors come for - book full-moon dates early - with village homestays in Hodka as the quieter alternative. Around Gir, jungle lodges cluster near the Sasan gate for first-safari access, and the temple towns of Somnath and Dwarka run clean pilgrim hotels near their shrines. Each package can be adjusted to the mix you prefer.
