Gujarat Tour Packages

Gujarat is home to an array of popular tourist attractions, all of which are widely visited by tourists. The famous Statue of Unity, the Somnath and Dwarkadhish Temples, the Gir National Park, and the Rann of Kutch are some of the prominent landmarks among them.

While many destinations in Gujarat are beautiful, the cities Ahmedabad, Surat, and Vadodara are often considered the most beautiful in the state owing to their intricate architecture, rich history, and culture. A few other places that are also cited as “beautiful” in Gujarat include the White Desert of Kutch, and the coastal town - Mandvi.

Navratri is known to be the main festival celebrated in Gujarat. It is a nine-day celebration dedicated to Goddess Durga, and comprises various colourful rituals and traditions including traditional folk dances Garba and Dandiya. Another one of the most popular festivals in the state is Uttarayan or Makar Sankranti, which features extensive kite-flying competitions throughout Gujarat.

Short Gujarat tour packages spanning one city in the state are available from just Rs. 17,000 per person. Longer tours covering 4 to 10 cities are also available starting from Rs. 27,000. 

The best time to visit Gujarat is during the winter season, from October to March. During these months, the otherwise dry, hot and arid state experiences cool and pleasant weather perfect for sightseeing, festivals, and activities. Additionally, festivals like Navratri and Diwali, celebrated grandly in Gujarat, also fall within these months. If you would like to experience more greenery, and visit the hillstations in the state, the monsoon season from July to September is also an ideal time to travel to Gujarat. Places like Saputara and the Gir National Park are particularly stunning during the monsoons.

If you are looking to cover all the main attractions in Gujarat at a comfortable pace, then a 7 to 10 day trip is recommended. 
However, you could also explore the essence of Gujarat by visiting the core cities like Ahmedabad, Dwarka, and Somnath, or just Kevadia for the Statue of Unity. In this case, shorter Gujarat tour packages of 3 to 6 days is generally considered sufficient.
