Gandhi Ashram:

Adalaj Stepwell

Go to the Adalaj Stepwell, about 17 km north of Ahmedabad. This beautifully carved stepwell is an epitome of ancient Indian engineering genius, with leaves, flowers, birds, and fish designs.

Akshardham Temple

Then, to the stunning architecture of the Akshardham Temple in Gandhinagar, built using 6,000 metric tons of pink sandstone. Discover the whole complex of the temple, where beautiful gardens are cut by intricate sculptures and a gold leaf copper statue of Lord Swaminarayan, columns of rosewood, and a very fascinating museum that gives an understanding into Indian culture and the inner self.

After an hour-long breakfast, take a six-hour drive of 330 kilometers to Jamnagar and rest at your hotel.

Evening Visit:

Bala Hanuman Temple

Visit in the evening the world-famous Bala Hanuman Temple—one of the important places of pilgrimage for the devotees of Lord Rama. This temple is renowned for the continuous chanting of “Jai Ram, Shri Ram” since 1964 and was recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records. The devotees chant the Lord’s name in shifts of 24 hours continuously.

Overnight Stay:

Then you will retreat to your hotel for an overnight stay in Jamnagar after a day spent contemplating the experience.

Day 03: Jamnagar – Dwarka (150 Kms / 03 Hrs)

  • Day Trip to Dwarka

    In the morning, after having breakfast, proceed for Dwarka. This place is situated about 150 kilometers from the hotel. It takes three hours to get there. Dwarka is an ancient city and also a very important place among Hindus as they believe it is the capital set up by Lord Krishna. Rich in mythology and history, marine excavations hint of the city's importance and have led some to surmise that this is part of the legendary 'Dwarawati' from the life of Krishna.

    Beautifully lined beaches to relax make the place very attractive, so start with visiting the central part of Dwarka - Dwarkadhish Temple. Visit the Sabha Mandap, an enormous 60-pillared hall inside the temple complex where ancient scriptures can be seen, along with a panoramic view of the Gomti River.

    Take a short sea journey to Bet Dwarka, which is around 30 kilometers from Dwarka. This island is one of the major pilgrimages with the sea all around, providing a tranquil environment to reflect and be devoted. When in Dwarka, one should not miss the temple between Gomati Dwarka and Bet Dwarka, which houses the Jyotirlinga known as Nageshwar Mahadev supposed to protect from poison and which pilgrims visit throughout the year.

    Finally, there is Rukmini Temple, which is located about 2 kilometers from Dwarka. Dating 2,500 years, this temple, associated with an interesting myth about Lord Krishna and Rukmini, boasts well-carved exteriors along with wonderfully domed mandapa. After a full day of discovering spirituality and the depth of cultures, return back to your hotel for an overnight stay in Dwarka.

Day 04: Dwarka - Somnath (240 Kms/05 hrs)

  • Day Trip to Somnath:

    After Breakfast, departure for Somnath. En route, visit Porbandar and explore Kirti Mandir, the birthplace of the Mahatma Gandhi. At this historic place, one would find a small room in the Swastik, which marks the point of birth of Mahatma. The house features many Gandhian memorials, photographs, and a small workshop.

    Next, visit the Sudama Temple, dedicated to Sudama, who was a friend of Lord Krishna and known for its peaceful environment as well as its historical importance.

    Proceed further with your drive to Somnath, check into a hotel there, and then do your holy visit to the magnificent Somnath Temple, which is a great cultural and national heritage. This sacred temple is one of the twelve jyotirlingas and boasts a history of plundering and reconstruction that symbolizes the power and resilience of Indian society. The present beautiful temple was rebuilt about five decades ago on the same site as the original one by the efforts of the Iron Man of India, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.

    Also visit Bhalka Tirth, where Lord Krishna is said to have ended his life journey. This place depicts the final journey of Lord Krishna. The newly married can experience spiritual fervor by being one with it.

    After the scheduled historical and spiritual adventure, drive down to your hotel for an overnight stay at Somnath.

Day 05: Somnath – Gir (50Kms/1 ½ hrs)

  • Day Trip to Gir:

    After breakfast, leave for Gir. This place is about 50 Kms/1 ½ hours away. Sasan Gir, popularly known as Gir, is India's most renowned lion sanctuary and is the only home of the Asiatic lion in the subcontinent. Situated on the southwestern edge of the Saurashtra peninsula in Gujarat, Gir shelters almost 400 Asiatic lions. This sanctuary was formed in 1913 to preserve these magnificent creatures and was officially declared a sanctuary in 1965. Since 1980, the lion population has been growing every year, making it the only place where you can find this magnificent animal in its own habitat, which cannot be found anywhere else other than Africa. Once you reach there, check into a hotel and rest for some time.

    In the afternoon, go for a spine-tingling safari ride in Gir National Park. Lion safaris are most famous in this park. You can use jeeps for traveling to different landscapes. Apart from Asiatic lions, the park is home to a variety of other animals, including chital, chinkara, four-horned antelope, leopards, nilgai, spotted deer, wild boar, wild ass, monkeys, parrots, peacocks, and many species of birds.

    End a thrilling day with a stay in your Gir hotel, reflecting on experiences with nature.

Day 06: Gir - Ahmedabad (385 Kms/ 08 hrs)

  • Departure from Ahmedabad:

    After a breakfast, you will proceed from the hotel. Then you will continue to another destination, where the road is about 385 kilometres and will take around eight hours in total. By this means, you will be able to see half of Gujarat's beauty.

    You'll be dropped at the Ahmedabad airport where you'll head out. With all of these experiences from your tour and the wonderful memories made along your journey, take this chance to reflect and ponder them. Safe travels!
