Western India
Discover Gujarat
Gujarat surprises first-time visitors with its range: the endless white salt desert of the Rann of Kutch, the last home of the Asiatic lion at Gir, the sacred temples of Dwarka and Somnath, and the towering Statue of Unity.
We plan Gujarat tours around pilgrimages, wildlife, heritage or the Rann Utsav festival — or a mix of all four.

Getting there & around
Ahmedabad, Rajkot and Bhuj are well connected by air and rail. Distances in Gujarat are large, so a private vehicle with a driver is the most comfortable way to travel.
