The Gujarat Heritage & Wildlife Trail offers a curated mix of spiritual landmarks, royal history, and protected wildlife zones across western India. This 8-day route takes you through key destinations such as Ahmedabad, Rajkot, Dwarka, Porbandar, Somnath, Gir National Park, and Bhavnagar, offering a well-balanced experience of Gujarat's architectural legacy and its ecological richness.
 
Start from Ahmedabad, a city known for its blend of Indo-Islamic architecture and textile heritage. Continue to Rajkot, the former princely state where Mahatma Gandhi spent his early years. Move westwards to Dwarka, one of the Char Dham pilgrimage sites, where the ancient Dwarkadhish Temple attracts thousands of devotees. En route, make a stop at Porbandar, the birthplace of Gandhi, and explore the heritage lanes and Kirti Mandir.
 
In Somnath, witness the stunning seaside temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, a site steeped in mythological and historical significance. From the religious and historical circuits, shift to Gujarat’s thriving wildlife region with a visit to Gir National Park—the last natural habitat of the endangered Asiatic lions. A safari through the deciduous forest increases your chances of spotting not just lions, but also leopards, deer, and various bird species.
 
Round off your tour in Bhavnagar, a quiet town with colonial structures and Jain temples, before heading back to Ahmedabad. This Gujarat tour package is suitable for travelers interested in combining temple visits, cultural landmarks, and wildlife safaris within a comfortable and well-paced itinerary.
