Gujarat Grand Loop
Starting from Ahmedabad, loop around the Great Rann of Kutch, the sacred sites of Saurashtra, and Gir National Park.
Travel by chartered car through the two major peninsulas of Gujarat: explore the World Heritage old city, stepwells, the Wild Ass Sanctuary, the white salt desert, and handicraft villages, then head along the coast to Dwarka, Somnath, Diu, and Gir, before finally climbing the sacred hill of Palitana. Daily driving distances often exceed 200 km, making this ideal for in-depth travelers with plenty of time. Vadodara and Velavadar are omitted to optimize the route.
The sacred hill of Palitana is closed during the monsoon season and usually reopens around the Kartik Poornima in November; confirm before departure.
