Itinerary
Arrival in Somnath & Evening Aarti
Arrive at your chosen pickup point (Ahmedabad/Rajkot/Ahmedabad Airport — pickup can be customized). Drive to Somnath. Check in to your hotel and relax. In the evening visit the Somnath Temple for the soulful aarti. Optionally attend the Light & Sound show that narrates the temple's history.
Important activities:
- Evening Aarti at Somnath Temple
- Optional Light & Sound show at Somnath
Tip: Keep a copy of your ID for temple entry and plan to arrive before sunset to attend the aarti.
Somnath Temple & Bhalka Tirth — Drive to Sasan Gir
Start early with a morning visit to Triveni Sangam and Bhalka Tirth (the site associated with Lord Krishna). Return to Somnath for a deeper exploration of the temple complex, museum, and nearby beaches.
After lunch, drive to Sasan Gir. Check in at your lodge/resort located near the park and attend a briefing for the next day's wildlife safari.
Note: Temple timings and darshan lines can vary during festivals — plan accordingly.
Morning Jeep Safari in Gir National Park
Wake up early for the flagship experience: an early morning Jeep Safari into Gir National Park — the only place to see the majestic Asiatic Lion in its natural habitat. Experienced guides and trackers accompany the safari to maximize wildlife sightings.
Post-safari: return to the resort for breakfast and rest. Afternoon visit to the Devaliya Safari Park (a fenced reserve ideal for close sightings) or enjoy nature walks/heritage village visits.
Important: Safari timings are fixed by forest authorities. Carry binoculars, sunscreen, and a light jacket (mornings can be chilly).
Second Safari / Relaxation & Local Culture
Opt for a second safari (early morning or evening) to improve your chances of seeing big cats and other wildlife. Alternatively, relax at your resort or join a cultural program showcasing local Saurashtra music and dance.
Afternoon free for local exploration: visit nearby Somnath–Gir region craft markets or learn about local tribal culture at the resort.
Tip: If you choose the second safari, ensure advance booking to secure a jeep and guide.
Drive to Junagadh — Girnar Hill & Heritage Walk
After breakfast drive to Junagadh, an ancient city steeped in history. On arrival explore the impressive Uperkot Fort, Mahabat Maqbara, and local bazaars.
Later in the day (or early next morning based on fitness and preference), visit Girnar Hill — a premier pilgrimage site with historic temples and stunning views. The climb involves many steps; many pilgrims choose to climb early morning.
Note: Girnar climb can be strenuous. Consider a local guide and wear comfortable footwear.
Departure — Transfer to Ahmedabad/Rajkot
After breakfast, complete any last-minute sightseeing or shopping in Junagadh. Check out from the hotel and drive to your chosen drop-off point (Rajkot/Ahmedabad/Rajkot Airport).

Recent Gujarat Reviews
Handed Over Control and Nothing Fell Apart
I've always planned my own trips because I never fully trusted a travel company with the details. This time my wife convinced me to try TourGrids for our Gujarat trip — Rann of Kutch, Gir, the whole thing. Honestly, I was ready to micromanage, but there was nothing to chase. The coordinator shared the full itinerary upfront, hotels were proper good, cabs showed up on time, and every cost was clearly broken down before we paid. No surprise charges at checkout, nothing felt rushed or generic. A couple of small questions I had were sorted on WhatsApp within the hour. For someone handing over control for the first time, that kind of reliability means everything.
Gujarat Felt Lighter With Priya On WhatsApp
We were a couple of first-timers going to Gujarat with zero idea about where to start — Rann of Kutch, Gir, Ahmedabad, all of it. Priya, our coordinator from TourGrids, sorted the entire thing over a few WhatsApp conversations and one call. What I liked most was she never went quiet. Any small question — which gate at the hotel, what time the cab is arriving — she'd reply within minutes. When our Gir resort check-in got delayed, she spoke to the property directly and kept us updated. No runaround, no 'I'll check and get back' disappearing act. Hotels were proper good, no hidden charges at the end. Really relaxed trip because of her.
One Call Fixed a Very Broken Day
We were two days into our Gujarat trip — me and my wife — when the hotel in Dwarka said our booking wasn't showing in their system. It was evening, we were tired, and I had no idea what to do. Called our TourGrids coordinator and within 20 minutes he had sorted it directly with the hotel and sent me a confirmation screenshot on WhatsApp. No running around, no extra charge, nothing. Rest of the trip — Somnath, Gir, Rann of Kutch — everything went exactly as planned. Hotels were proper good, cabs were always on time. Honestly didn't expect this level of support once the trip had already started.
Gujarat Trip Where I Actually Let Go
I've always planned my own trips because I never trusted anyone else to get the details right. This time my wife convinced me to try TourGrids for our Gujarat trip — Rann of Kutch, Dwarka, Somnath, the works. I went in sceptical, honestly. But from the first call itself, the coordinator actually listened. No copy-paste itinerary — he asked what pace we wanted, what we wanted to skip. Hotels were proper good, cabs showed up on time, no hidden charges when we settled the bill. The whole trip ran exactly how it was explained to us. First time I genuinely didn't feel the need to keep checking everything myself.
Gujarat Felt Easy Because Rahul Was Always There
Traveled to Gujarat with my wife last month — Rann of Kutch, Gir, Dwarka — and honestly the coordinator TourGrids assigned us, Rahul, made the whole difference. Every time something felt unclear — a hotel check-in time, a cab delay in Gir, a restaurant suggestion in Ahmedabad — one WhatsApp message and he'd reply within minutes. Not automated, actual proper replies. At one point our cab was running late and he called the driver himself and updated us in real time. Hotels were proper good, no surprises at check-in, and the final bill matched exactly what was quoted. My wife kept saying she didn't feel like she was managing anything — that says enough.
Gujarat Came Together Before I Expected It
I was honestly expecting the back-and-forth to drag on for weeks, but the team at TourGrids had our Gujarat itinerary ready within two days of our first call. My wife and I wanted a mix — Rann of Kutch, Gir, and some heritage spots around Vadodara — and they actually listened instead of pushing a standard package. The coordinator adjusted the hotel nights based on our travel dates, explained every cost upfront, no hidden charges at the end. WhatsApp responses were quick, even on weekends. Hotels were proper good, cabs were reliable throughout. For a couple planning their first big domestic trip, having one person own the whole thing made a real difference.
