When to go

Prafull's notes
- Gujarat is a dry state: alcohol is sold only with a permit, in a few licensed hotels.
- Distances are long. Dwarka is about 450 km from Ahmedabad, so most trips start or end in Rajkot to save a day on the road.
- Gir National Park is closed from mid-June to mid-October, and safari permits sell out early in winter.
- Nishkalank Mahadev, in the sea off Bhavnagar, can be reached only at low tide.

Gujarat questions
How many days do you need for Gujarat?
Three nights covers Dwarka and Somnath. Four or five nights adds Gir, Diu or Nishkalank. With a week you can add Ahmedabad and the Statue of Unity, and with two weeks Kutch and the White Rann as well.
What is the best time to visit Gujarat?
October to March. The White Rann is best from November to February, and Gir National Park opens from mid-October to mid-June.
Is GST included in the price?
No. Our Gujarat prices include 3-star hotels, breakfast and a private car with driver; GST (5%) is added.
Which hotels are included?
Standard 3-star hotels in every town, named when you book. We can quote 4-star and 5-star upgrades on request.
Can we see lions in Gir?
Gir is the last home of the Asiatic lion, and sightings on the jungle trail are common but never guaranteed. Permits are limited, so we book them as soon as you confirm.
What is the Panch Dwarka?
The five shrines of Krishna as Dwarkadhish: Dwarka and Bet Dwarka in Gujarat, Dakor near Ahmedabad, and Nathdwara and Kankroli near Udaipur. Our Panch Dwarka tours visit all five.
