7 Days Gujarat Tour Itinerary | Lion And Kings

Gujarat is one of my favourite destinations in India. The land of legends and lions! Gujarat is home to numerous temples ordained with Indian architecture, advanced cities and rich cultural diversities. 

The state truly believes in the words that "Guest is our God". Gujarat is a paradise for tourists. 

It offers natural attractions like beaches and forests and pilgrimage destinations like Dwarka and ancient Buddha caves in Junagadh, forts & palaces and of course the spirit of the rich culture of state – colourful festivals like Rann Kutch Utsav or the Saputara Monsoon Festival.

So, here's my 7 days Gujarat trip itinerary. 

Day 1 - Ahmedabad

Ahmedabad is the largest city of Gujarat and Sabarmati rivers runs through this city. Not only easily accessible from the state you stay or arrive in India it's one of the best places to start your trip. 

There are many amazing places you can visit such as Sabarmati Ashram, Jama Masjid, Adalaj Stepwell, The Calico Museum of Textiles and many more. 

You may roam local streets to try some delicious food and get some traditional wall hangings as souvenirs. Rest for the night and get ready for the road trip to finally start. 

Day 2 - Ahmedabad – Lothal
