TRIVENI SANGAM ATITHIGRUH

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Triveni Sangam Atithigruh is a guest house located near the Triveni Ghat and Bhalika Tirth, making it convenient for visitors to explore these sacred sites. The guest house offers comfortable rooms within walking distance of various attractions. However, some guests have noted issues with bathroom maintenance and hot water availability, so it's advisable to inquire about these amenities before booking during colder months. The Triveni Sangam itself holds great religious significance for Hindu rituals after death.
Triveni Sangam in Somnath is a sacred spot where three holy rivers Hiran, Kapila, and the mystical Saraswati merge into the Arabian Sea. The peaceful waves, soft breeze, and spiritual atmosphere make it a perfect place for reflection and prayer. Many devotees take a holy dip here before visiting the Somnath temple. The view during sunrise or sunset is truly magical. It’s not just a place it’s a feeling of calm and divine connection. 🌊🙏

A place needs to be cleaned and make it enjoyable. Evening with bhajan and chanting makes it so memorable moments and divine experiences.

No maintanence, no cleanliness, bathroom is also dirty, washbasen is leaking, room had a weird smell. Room charge is very high, could have got any decent hotel in this price only reason we choose this as it's near triveni sangam but completely disappointed.

Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
Welcome to Surya Mandir, one of the oldest sun temples in Gujarat, located less than 1.5 kilometers away from Somnath Temple. The temple is dedicated to Surya Dev and Chaya Devi and is believed to have been visited by the Pandavas during their agyatvas. The current structure dates back to the 14th century, with limited historical details available.
Surya Mandir is very close to Pandava's cave and Triveni Sangam. Do visit here. Have darshan of Surya Dev. After having darshan of Surya Dev, definitely climb south here. There is a Kund here. Do go there and click a very cute picture of Surya Dev. Do visit there. You will have to go down a bit but when you come out and see the architecture of Surya Dev's temple, your heart will be very happy. The architecture is very beautiful. Do visit Surya Dev.

The Suraj Mandir (Sun Temple) is an ancient Hindu temple in Somnath, Gujarat, dedicated to the Sun God, located on the northern side of the Triveni Ghat. It is an important historical site near the Somnath Jyotirlinga Temple, known for its intricate architectural carvings of nature and animal figures. A key feature is the image of Surya, the Sun God, riding a chariot with seven horses above the main entrance, and within its premises is a small water body called the Surya Kund.
SACHIN R — Google review
The Surya Temple, located very close to Pandav Gufa, is an ancient Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Surya (the Sun God). The temple’s architecture is truly beautiful and reflects the elegance of traditional craftsmanship. It’s a peaceful place where you can offer prayers and take the blessings of Surya Dev. Just beside the temple, there is a kund (sacred pond), which adds to the temple’s spiritual charm. To get a closer view of the kund, you’ll need to climb down a few steps, though the water is not very clean. Despite that, the overall atmosphere is calm and divine, making it a nice spot to visit for those exploring the historical and religious sites around Somnath.

Surya Mandir is one of the oldest sun temple of Gujarat. Surya Dev and Chaya Devi are main vigrah in the temple. It is believed that during his agyatvas pandavas stay here and pray Surya Dev. But the current temple structure is built around 14th century and other historical details are not available. Temple is decorated all around with Shri Vishnu, Maa Lakshmi, Brahma Ji, Mata Sarasvati, Sita Mata and Maat Parvati, also sculptures with lion, elephants and other animals. There is a Surya Kund attached with the temple. Few steps far Mata Hinglaj blesses devotees in a narrow gufa. Five Pandava cave is just adjacent to Sun temple. Suraj temple can also be viewed from nearby Kamnath Mahadev Mandir of Sarada Math. Triveni sangam is 100m away from the temple. Popular Name: Sun Temple

Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
Somnath Temple, located in Gujarat, is a revered Chalukya-style temple and is believed to be the first among the 12 jyotirlinga shrines of Shiva. The town surrounding the temple is steeped in mythology and religion, offering a spiritual environment with numerous other temples, beaches, museums, and attractions. Despite its tumultuous history of depredations and destructions, this indestructible temple stands firm on the western coast of India.
The New Somnath Temple is an architectural marvel and holds immense spiritual importance as it is considered the first among the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva. Located right beside the Arabian Sea, the temple offers a breathtaking view and a serene atmosphere that instantly brings peace to the mind. During festival seasons, the temple attracts a massive crowd, so it’s best to plan your visit on weekdays or during the off-season for a more comfortable experience. Security checks are very strict here, and visitors are required to deposit their mobile phones and wallets in the lockers available outside. There are plenty of shoe houses to keep your footwear safely. The temple complex is beautifully maintained, and the recently developed sea corridor is a wonderful addition you can take a peaceful walk along it or even hire a cycle to enjoy the scenic coastal view. Overall, it’s a divine and well-organized place that every devotee must visit at least once.

Har Har Mahadev...🙏 What an absolutely mesmerizing experience! Somnath Temple isn't just a place of worship—it's a living testament to India's ancient heritage and unyielding spirit. Perched on the shores of the Arabian Sea, this iconic Jyotirlinga shrine radiates an aura of divine serenity and architectural grandeur that leaves you spellbound from the moment you arrive. The temple's white marble facade gleams under the sun, with intricate carvings that tell stories of devotion and resilience. Rebuilt multiple times after historical invasions, it stands tall as a symbol of rebirth—truly inspiring. As I stepped inside during the evening aarti, the rhythmic chants, flickering lamps, and the distant crash of waves created a symphony that touched the soul. The energy here is palpable; it's like time stands still, connecting you to centuries of pilgrims who walked these paths before. Practical perks: Easy access with ample parking, clean facilities, and guided tours available. Don't miss the sound-and-light show at night—it's magical! Whether you're a devotee seeking blessings or a traveler chasing history, Somnath delivers pure bliss. Highly recommend; it's a must-visit that deserves every star and more. Jai Somnath! 🙏

Somnath Temple is a divine and peaceful place filled with spiritual energy. The architecture is stunning, and the sea beside the temple makes the atmosphere even more serene. The evening aarti is a truly mesmerizing experience and not to be missed. However, it can get quite crowded, especially during weekends and festivals so it’s best to visit early in the morning. Phones, bags, and other belongings are not allowed inside and must be kept in the locker area. Only a small purse or wallet is permitted. The management and cleanliness are excellent, making it a must-visit for every devotee and traveler.

Visited Somnath Temple on a weekday afternoon, and despite the strong sun and long travel, the experience was absolutely worth it. The approach to the temple is very organised. Parking is available around five minutes from the entrance, and the temple provides free counters to deposit bags and cameras separately, which is convenient and secure. Phones are not allowed inside the main temple area, so visitors should be prepared for that. After the security screening (with separate lines for men and women), there are dedicated golf carts available for senior citizens or anyone who needs assistance, which is very helpful because the temple is around 800–900 metres from the screening point. Washrooms are inside the premises, so it’s best to freshen up after crossing the security check. The moment you enter the temple complex, the atmosphere changes completely. The place feels calm, powerful, and spiritually uplifting. Sitting inside for a few minutes, listening to chants and feeling the breeze from the Arabian Sea, is a beautiful experience. The temple itself is grand, very well maintained, and located right on the seashore, making it one of the most scenic temple visits one can have. It’s good to spend some time walking around the temple surroundings. After returning, all deposited items were handed back safely, which reflects good management. Coming again for the evening Aarti is highly recommended. Arriving around 6:15–6:30 PM gives enough time to witness the stunning sunset over the Arabian Sea before the Aarti begins at 7 PM. The temple looks spectacular with its evening lighting. Since personal phones are not allowed inside, the temple has official photographers who can take pictures and provide either printed copies or send high-quality images on WhatsApp for ₹100–₹200. This is helpful for anyone who wants a memory from inside. Security at the temple is tight but smooth for visitors, and even with a rush during Aarti, everything is well coordinated. For photos of the temple from outside, the nearby road along the boundary gives great angles with the sea in the background.

Somnath Temple, one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva in India, is located on the beautiful western coast of Gujarat. The temple is truly magnificent, and the Shiva Lingam here is one of the largest I have ever seen. The darshan was an amazing and deeply spiritual experience — truly something to cherish once in a lifetime. The temple surroundings are very well maintained. Visiting in the evening is highly recommended to enjoy the spectacular light and sound show, which starts at 7:45 PM inside the temple. Tickets can be purchased from within the temple premises. Please note that no electronic items are allowed inside, but free slipper and bag counters are available for convenience. It’s best to avoid weekends and festival days, as the rush can be very heavy. A must-visit place to seek the blessings of Mahadev with your family or loved ones.

Nestled within the enchanting Sasan-Gir National Park, Kamleshwar Dam is a stunning water body that captivates visitors with its natural beauty. This picturesque dam not only serves as a vital water source but also acts as a sanctuary for crocodiles and various bird species, making it an essential stop for nature enthusiasts. The panoramic views of the Hiran River from this location are simply breathtaking.
Beautiful dam which is covered during the safari at Route 3. A lovely beautiful dam with a great view and a lot of crocodiles inside this dam. I also spotted a crocodile near the bank of this river so the driver and guide will warn you not to go near the river as it could be very dangerous. If you are lucky then you may also sight a lion walking on the bank of this dam but very rarely. Overall a lovely place

One of the most beautiful site in Gir Forest. It is a Natural reservoir and water source situated in between dense forest area of Sasan Gir. However it is not open for Public, one should have a permit from the concerned authority to get through this place. Dont miss the opportunity if you get a chance.
Ashif G — Google review
Kamleshwar Dam, also known as Hiran-I Dam, is a significant water reservoir located in Gir National Park, Gujarat, India. The dam is situated on the Hiran River and was completed in 1959 for irrigation purposes. With a height of approximately 25 meters and a length of 1304 meters, the dam creates a substantial reservoir with a surface area of 8 square kilometers. The dam is a popular spot for wildlife enthusiasts and birdwatchers, as it attracts a variety of bird species and is home to mugger crocodiles. The surrounding landscape offers stunning views, making it an ideal location for nature lovers and photographers. The dam's proximity to Gir National Park, which is home to Asiatic lions, leopards, and other wildlife, adds to its appeal. Visitors can enjoy the scenic views, spot wildlife, and explore the surrounding area. The best time to visit Kamleshwar Dam is during the monsoon season when the reservoir is full, and the surrounding landscape is lush and green. The dam is open from 6 am to 6 pm, except on Sundays, and there are no entry fees. The dam's significance extends beyond its natural beauty, as it plays a crucial role in the ecosystem of Gir National Park. The reservoir provides a habitat for various aquatic species, and the surrounding landscape supports a diverse range of flora and fauna. The dam's construction has also helped to regulate the water flow in the Hiran River, which has a positive impact on the local environment. For those interested in exploring the area, Kamleshwar Dam is an excellent starting point. The dam is located near the Gir Jungle Safari, which offers visitors the opportunity to spot Asiatic lions and other wildlife in their natural habitat. Additionally, the nearby Somnath Temple and Uparkot Fort are worth visiting for their historical and cultural significance. Overall, Kamleshwar Dam is a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts, birdwatchers, and those looking to explore the natural beauty of Gir National Park. Its unique combination of wildlife, scenic views, and historical significance makes it an unforgettable experience.

Lovely place. Scenic beauty. Panoramic view. Amidst the Sasan gir national park. Climb up the nearby watchtower to have a wonderful view of the area. Tourists can get down off their vehicle here. If you are lucky you will see lions here. If have little patience, you can see crocodiles gliding in the water. Best time is post monsoon. Great green cover over the ground to sooth your eyes and emotion However, make sure of timings before visit and follow the rules. For photo clickers, surely you will get many wonderful clicks

The GIR LION safari Devariya was an unforgettable experience. The morning safari offered the best chance to spot the majestic Asiatic lions in their natural habitat. We were fortunate to see several prides lounging amidst the dry deciduous forests. Besides the lions, we also encountered other fascinating creatures like leopards, hyenas, deer, and even a playful fox. The dense vegetation and rugged terrain added to the thrill of the adventure. While the safari can be bumpy, the excitement of witnessing these magnificent animals in the wild makes it all worthwhile.

Not very great experience. Firstly, website to book tickets is quite confusing. What appears to be a official government site turned out to be an agent. Full payment was made online, however at the check in counter they were insisting for a partial payment. Only when the so called agent turned up everything got sorted. Counter service wasn't friendly and the guide wasn't very polite. Devalia Safari Park is a large fenced area where animals are kept. If you are lucky you could see lions. We were in the last morning slot so we only managed to see lions at a distance resting under the tree. To the best of my understanding there are 3 different safari parks in the Gir region. 1) Devalia 2) Gir 3) Ambardi If I have to visit again, I would give Devalia a miss and try the others.

Have gone to Devaliya park. Gir is closed during monsoon season. We started our journey from Junagadh and our auto driver took us through a nice village side road . Weather was good and cloudy. Map showed 1.5 hrs but road conditions are not good . It took us almost 2.5hrs . We had a online ticket done so didnt have to wait much in counter line. Though my ticket was for 4 to 4.30 i didnt have to wait and got seat at 3.15 wala bus. It was suppose to be a 30 mins ride in bus for which we paid 150 rs per person. For jeep u need to pay around 4k. We saw 4 lioness, peacock, leopard in captivity, black buck deer. It felt The trip ended as soon as it started . If u r taking the bus may be buy 2 to 3 slots over the day. The park has food area , super expensive souvenirs shops.

Gir Safari has it's own name in wild life safari. We my family i visited there, it was awesome. First, you don't need to book online tickets as it was available offline without any waiting period. Mode:-( Bus/Jeep) With my opinion Bus is much better than Jeep safari as AC is available in bus and cost in Bus per person was 190/- where Jeep safari price was 3,000/- approx. We choosed Bus. Because they ensured for 100% lion sighting and we saw. Food:- Food options are available inside it. Staff behaviour:- The driver assigned to us was a local of Sasan village. His behaviour was really good. We cooperated him and in return he allow us to watch more than the time limit. Really salute for good staff of Gujarat Tourism. Conclusion. Hard recommend place.

A sort of protected sanctuary where you will be guaranteed a lion or a leopard sighting along with other animals. Very well coordinated. Bus services are good. U will although miss the feeling of watching the big cat in proper Jungle. The facilities like souvenir shop and kids play area along with canteen are good.

Madhavpur Beach, located on Gujarat’s Arabian Sea coast near Porbandar, is renowned for its clean sands, turquoise waters, and tranquil surroundings, with swaying coconut palms lining the shore. The beach holds mythological significance as the believed site of Lord Krishna’s marriage to Rukmini, and visitors can enjoy activities like camel rides, boating, and beach scootering, though swimming is generally discouraged due to strong tides. With its serene ambiance, natural beauty, and minimal commercialization, Madhavpur Beach offers a peaceful and picturesque getaway, especially between November and March for the safest experience

This beach is one of the most peaceful and well-maintained spots I’ve visited. The moment you step onto the sand, there’s a calming vibe that instantly makes you feel relaxed. The beach is clean and inviting, making it perfect for families, solo travelers, or couples looking to unwind. The sand is soft and well-kept, great for barefoot walks or just lying down and soaking up the sun. The water is clear and beautiful, with gentle waves that are ideal for swimming or simply splashing around near the shore. Whether you're looking to enjoy a morning walk along the coast or just sit back and watch the sunset, this beach offers a naturally calming atmosphere. There’s enough space to enjoy without feeling crowded. People around are generally respectful and keep the vibe quiet and pleasant. I noticed the beach was being maintained regularly, which really enhances the overall experience. There are basic facilities nearby like seating areas, clean public restrooms, and a few stalls selling refreshments like coconut water, tea, and snacks. Nothing feels over-commercialized, and that’s what keeps the charm of this place alive. The best part? You can just sit for hours doing nothing—and it still feels like time well spent. The combination of natural beauty, peaceful surroundings, and proper upkeep makes this beach a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back whenever I need a break from the busy city life.

This sacred destination boasts an impressive array of temples scattered throughout its forested slopes. The journey to the summit is not for the faint-hearted; it involves ascending approximately 10,000 stone steps, which can take around 5-6 hours to conquer.
Har har mahadev 🚩🚩🚩 This is one of the best trekking experiences I have mixed with a religious experience. Around 6 am in the morning , this temple is covered in fog and it feels something out of this world. Carry some energy powder and warm clothes. Warm up your body well and then start to climb.

Best place for tourism. There are 10,000 steps for go up & 10,000 step for come to the base. If you are a hill and forest lover, you will love it. Because the greenery of the hill is next level. You can see thousands of trees, flowers and various plants from the hill. When reached to the top of the mountain, it feel like you are above the clouds. In some areas of the heels, It feels like you are between clouds. That was wonderful experience for me and I got precious memories of my life.

There are good stalls all the way so don't be worries about anything . Please carry a stell water bottle and keep getting it refilled. It's our duty to keep our places of worship clean 🧹

Visiting the Sri Guru Dattatreya Sansthan atop Girnar Mountain is a profoundly spiritual journey that every devotee should undertake at least once in their lifetime. Perched at the highest peak of Girnar, the temple is accessible via a challenging yet rewarding 10,000-step climb from Ambaji Temple or a swift 10-minute ride on the Girnar Ropeway . The ascent is both physically demanding and spiritually uplifting. Many pilgrims recommend starting the climb early in the morning to avoid the heat and to witness the breathtaking sunrise from the summit . For those unable to complete the climb, the ropeway offers a convenient alternative, providing panoramic views of the surrounding landscape . Upon reaching the temple, visitors are greeted by the serene presence of Lord Dattatreya. The atmosphere is tranquil, with devotees often experiencing a deep sense of peace and spiritual fulfillment. The temple is renowned for its 24/7 prasad (free meals) service, ensuring that no pilgrim goes hungry during their visit . The surrounding environment is equally captivating. The journey to the temple offers glimpses of lush greenery, diverse wildlife, and ancient temples, including the Gorakhnath Temple and Jain Temples, enriching the pilgrimage experience . For those planning their visit, it's advisable to carry a walking stick for support, especially during the descent, which can be challenging. Additionally, purchasing rain gear at Taleti before starting the journey is recommended, particularly during the monsoon season . In conclusion, the Sri Guru Dattatreya Sansthan at Girnar Mountain offers a unique blend of physical challenge, natural beauty, and spiritual enrichment. Whether you choose to climb the steps or take the ropeway, the experience is sure to leave a lasting impression. It's a must-visit destination for anyone seeking solace and divine blessings.

Mesmerising spiritual trek. Lord Dattreya temple is the final summit of 10000 steps from Girnar base camp. Rope way is available till Ambaji temple. From there 4000 steps to Lord Dattatreya temple. One has to climb steps downhill and again climb uphill to reach lord Dattatreya temple. Temple closes by 7 pm. Plan your trek accordingly. Panaromic view of the mountains are awesome. Enjoyed sunset view while climbing. No need to panic. Lot of devotees ascend and descend during night also. Free food is available at Gaumukh ashram. Enjoy your spiritual trek.

Visited Shri Guru Dattatreya Sansthan at Girnar today, and it was an incredible spiritual experience. This temple is dedicated to Lord Dattatreya, who is considered the embodiment of the divine trinity—Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. The temple is situated atop Girnar Mountain, a place of immense historical and religious significance. It is believed that saints and ascetics meditated here for centuries, making it one of the most revered Datta Kshetras in India. The climb to the temple is challenging but rewarding, offering breathtaking views along the way. At the top, the atmosphere is serene, and the temple itself reflects traditional Hindu architecture. Devotees come here to meditate, seek blessings, and experience spiritual peace. Shri Guru Dattatreya Sansthan is not just a temple, it’s a journey through history, devotion, and nature. Truly a must visit for anyone coming to Girnar.

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Uparkot Fort, a magnificent relic of history dating back to around 319 BC, stands as a testament to the architectural prowess of its time. Originally constructed by the Mauryan emperor Chandragupta, this fort has been expanded over centuries and features impressive ramparts that soar up to 20 meters high. It has withstood numerous sieges—legend even tells of a remarkable 12-year siege!
Very beautifully renovated. The famous place of Junagadh. A historically important place in the history of Junagadh. Newly renovated fort is now equipped with modern amenities like e scooter, e cart, etc. Renovated with Audio guide, many information boards, etc. Location is perfect for any visitor who can easily view panoramic view of Girnar and mountain range.

When I look at these ancient structures on the map — the palaces, houses, deep stepwells carved by hand into the mountains without any modern materials like cement — I am filled with awe. Our ancestors built such magnificent architecture with sheer intelligence, effort, and vision. The forts standing tall on hilltops, with their perfect security systems, showcase brilliant planning and craftsmanship. It’s a salute to that era, to the people who built such wonders. Their legacy is not just beautiful — it’s something today’s world should learn from. We must respect and preserve our rich culture and history, and carry its essence forward with pride."
Shailesh R — Google review
While Uparkot Fort is undeniably a significant historical landmark with a rich past, a visit here offers a mixed experience. The fort's sheer size and its impressive structures, such as the ancient Buddhist caves and the remarkable step-wells, are a testament to its long history. The breathtaking views from the top are a major highlight. However, despite recent renovations, some areas still show a lack of maintenance, and the overall experience could be improved with more detailed information boards and better directional signage. The entry fee might seem a bit high to some for a government-run monument, and the lack of proper parking for four-wheelers can be an inconvenience. It's a place that holds immense historical value, but visitors should manage their expectations regarding the facilities and upkeep.
Parth B — Google review
Uparkot Fort is truly a gem of Junagadh! The fort is full of history, with ancient walls, beautiful stepwells like Adi Kadi Vav and Navghan Kuvo, and old Buddhist caves that show the rich culture of the past. The view from the top is breathtaking and gives a great look over the whole city. The place is peaceful and perfect for anyone who loves history, architecture, and photography. It’s a great spot to explore with family or friends. Only suggestion — the management could improve cleanliness and provide more information boards about the monuments. But overall, it’s a must-visit attraction in Junagadh! If you want to go there to see the fort , start at 7 in the morning If you go there, take a car because there is a lot of walking here. The facilities there are good, there is a water machine everywhere, there is a toilet and bathroom, and if you have difficulty walking, you can go there safely.
Raj S — Google review
This historical site is a must-visit. The explanations at each point are informative. Allocate 2-3 hours to explore the entire fort. Note that outside food is not allowed, but there's an on-site restaurant, albeit with slightly higher rates. Visitors can opt for a cycle ride or EV car to navigate the points within the fort. Additionally, the Buddhist cave requires a separate ticket, which can only be purchased online. Overall, a good experience.
Manish J — Google review
A truly remarkable fort with over 2000 years of history. Uparkot was first built by Chandragupta Maurya around 319 BC and later ruled by the Chudasamas, Mughals and the Nawabs of Junagadh. The fort has witnessed many battles and long sieges, which shows its great strategic importance in Saurashtra’s history. Inside the fort, you can explore the ancient Adi Kadi Vav and Navghan Kuvo stepwells, both carved deep into solid rock, and the Buddhist caves dating back to the 2nd–3rd century. The huge old cannons on the walls and the Nawabi Pond with its waterworks also reflect the engineering brilliance of that era. What makes Uparkot special is not just the structures but the stories they hold. From the top of the fort, the panoramic view of Junagadh is stunning. It’s a perfect place for history lovers, explorers and anyone who enjoys heritage sites. A must visit that brings alive the glorious past of Junagadh.

Nestled in the heart of Junagadh, Gujarat, Sakkarbaug Zoological Park is a historical gem that has been captivating visitors since its inception in 1863. Originally established as a small menagerie for the Nawab of Junagadh, this sprawling 200-hectare wildlife sanctuary has evolved into one of the region's most cherished attractions.
We recently visited Junagadh Zoo, and it was a great experience. There is a golf cart facility available, so we toured the entire zoo in about half an hour and saw all the animals comfortably. If you want to visit the zoo quickly and comfortably, then taking a golf cart is a very convenient option. However, if you want to visit the zoo on foot, it will take you about one and a half hours, but the good thing is that most of the animals can be seen in one area. It is a different fun to visit Junagadh Zoo with children and family

I was impressed by the variety of animals at this zoo. Some exhibits seemed a little less maintained than others, but generally it was consistent. The lions and tigers are definitely the star attractions. The only thing that was fairly appalling was just how much more expensive it is for foreigners. I understand that tourists can pay more, but it was about an 8x-10x difference in price. AND they also charge if you happen to have a good camera, which I did, so I had to go back to the car to leave it there. 😒

The oldest zoo in India. Spread over 200 acres. Tickets cost quite less. 20 for adult and 10 for kids up to 12. Has a lot of animals & birds. Their stars are the Lion, Lioness and Tiger. They also have bison, zebras, deer, hyenas, hippos. Birds range from small parrots and parakeets to eagles, owls, to flamingos, ostriches and emus. For another 100 you can take a golf cart, but it's better to walk and see the animals at your speed. Golf cart just zips thru and back in 25 min, not worth the money. They have a small safari inside the zoo. It costs 100 separately. Some Lions, Tigers (esp white tiger), bears are moved there and not available to view in the zoo. The landscaping is really good, need to appreciate the effort. Warning: DO NOT ENTER THE TOILET. It is so bad that it's like it had never been been cleaned since inauguration. I was almost fainting when I got out. So much for the oldest zoo. They can make it chargeable or increase ticket cost by 5rs and clean it.

Multiple varieties of Animal species are present. The numbers are huge and very satisfying. However, the cleanliness and maintenance of the Zoo is not up to the mark. Especially the living conditions of the animals, it's really painful to watch them stay in very dirty cages which are not maintained from the inside.

The Khambhalida Buddhist Caves are a hidden gem nestled at the foot of small hillocks by a spring. Carved out of limestone rocks, these caves consist of three main chambers, with the central one housing the stupa known as chaitya cave. The site also features two sculptures of Bodhisattva flanking the entrance to the chaitya cave. Despite being an archaeological site in Gujarat, it has been neglected and lacks proper management and promotion for tourism.
Buddhist caves of khambhalida is an archaeological site in Gujarat. There are only 2 caves but the entire lime stone 🪨 structure depict it's gravity itself. You can see the carving in the caves that is the main attraction 🧲 of the caves But do not worry, now the place is well developed with many sitting area under natural shade of trees 🌴 as well good management for parking 🅿️ and bird 🐦 feeding.

This place has potential to be developed as a major tourist attraction for it’s historical significance and Gujarat tourism must make efforts to publicize it on their web site and also transport arrangements from Rajkot airport. It is so great to see the history of old Tibetan / Jain monks from 4th century making this place for meditation.

too long journey, to see just ruins of ancient heritage site very pity for the archaeological dept, govt of India and local people.. who are happy by not conserving, this very much important part of our rich history.. still its aura is amazing, nearby river and jungle is serene to feel the aura roads are good to reach till the gate, ample parking space, not maintained toilets are rusted n not cleaned. tickets or entry pass not needed, it's free. 15 to 20 minutes enough to see the site no food or water available in and around some lovebirds wandering around, as it is a lonely place..

10minutes from Khambhalida Temple these Buddhist caves are a hidden gem. This is a very small part of what could have been a bigger residence or meditation cave for Buddhist Monks in the ancient era. The cave is not open for exploration but this is a must visit if you are a history buff. Also, the natural environment makes a perfect opt for a photoshooot. The place is secluded and in the middle of a jungle, many locals can be spotted however avoid wandering off the trek one can easily gets lost in the Jungle.

Rajkumar College (known as RKC) is one of the oldest K-12 institutions in India. It was established in 1868 by the erstwhile Princes and Chiefs of Kathiawar. This institution constructed in the Indo Gothic style is spread around 25 acres and is difficult to miss if you are in Dr. Radhakrishnan road in Rajkot. While this institution was only meant for boys (read Princes) in the olden days it is currently a co-educational boarding and day school affiliated to the CBSE. I had an external view of this institution since this is a functioning school and not exactly a tourist location

Dear Public, It is with a mix of disappointment and determination that I address you regarding recent events involving Rajkumar College (RKC) in Rajkot, Gujarat, India. As some of you may know, I, H.H. Prince Manvendra, have recently received an invitation to an event at RKC, indicating that I could bring my husband, H.H. Prince deAndre, Duke of Hanumanteshwar, as my plus one. However, despite this indication on the invitation card, I have been informed that my husband would not be allowed to accompany me to the event. As of the writing of this letter, there has been no further information from RKC regarding this matter. Nevertheless, I feel compelled to share my thoughts and intentions regarding the situation. In solidarity with my husband and in defense of the rights of all individuals, particularly those within the LGBTQIA+ community, I have made the decision not to attend the event. While this decision comes with a sense of sadness, it is also fueled by a deep-seated commitment to fighting for equality and inclusivity. As someone who has personally experienced discrimination and bias, I understand the importance of standing up against injustice and advocating for change. My absence from the event is not a sign of defeat but rather a reaffirmation of my dedication to championing the rights of all people, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. In India, discrimination against LGBTQIA+ individuals is unequivocally prohibited under the Constitution. Article 19 guarantees the right to freely express one's identity, and recent legal milestones have further advanced the rights of queer and transgender individuals. It is disheartening to witness discrimination persist within institutions like RKC, especially when they should serve as bastions of knowledge, respect, and dignity. I urge RKC and all educational institutions to reflect on their policies and practices, ensuring that they align with the principles of equality and respect enshrined in our Constitution. Let us strive together to create a society where every individual is valued, celebrated, and treated with the dignity they deserve. In solidarity and with unwavering resolve, H.R.H. Crown Prince Manvendra Singh Gohil of Rajpipla H.H Prince deAndre Duke of Hanumanteshwar

A unique museum!! It's a rare opportunity to see a Dolls museum, here in Rajkot. Good to visit with children. The museum is situated on 2&3 rd floors. The lift was not working when we reached there. We had to climb steps. It was built by an ex Rotary president of Rajkot for his daughter. He wrote mails to Rotary branches of the world and hence many international branches sent dolls representing their country and regions. It takes around 1 hour to see all the exhibits. The rooms are air conditioned. The tickets cost ₹30 per adult and ₹15 per child. It costs another ₹125 if you want to click photos. The dolls represent their country's costume and culture. Children can spend good time there. However make sure they have emptied their bladder before. Because the toilet here is a medieval era one, on the ground floor. I wish the Rotary club would pay attention and renovate the toilet as kids come to this place.

In one word it is simply A Magical Journey Through Cultures! The Rotary International Dolls Museum in Rajkot is a fascinating wonderland for children of all ages: Over 1,600 dolls from 102+ countries, each showcased in traditional attire and set up with miniature scenes that let kids explore global cultures at a glance. Recognized in the Limca Book of Records for its unique and expansive collection. The displays include everything from folk dance dolls (like Bhangra and Dandiya) to Barbie and Einstein figurines, string/glove puppets, and even a rare Rocking Zebra—only one of five in the world! The themed showcases are beautifully lit and educational, with info about the country, culture, music, and costumes for each doll. Friendly and helpful staff guide visitors through the exhibits and share the fascinating stories behind many dolls. Includes interactive spaces like a cinema hall showing documentaries and cultural films, a Foreign Language Learning Centre, and a souvenir shop with stickers, postcards, and miniature flags. The Rotary International Dolls Museum is a safe, clean, and well‑maintained spot with plenty of visual stimulation and educational value. It’s perfect for a fun and cultural outing with kids. Every visit feels like a mini‑world tour where curious children can learn about cultures around the globe through beautiful doll displays. Note: Highly recommended Mainly for Kids.

A total different experience. Must visit, just 30₹ pp entry fees. This museum is surely made due to low and attraction towards dolls by rotary club. Definitely not a commercial thought process. Much appreciate the concept. They have 2 floors of museum, soveniour shop inside and collection of 1800+ different dolls from approx. 108 countries. Totally different and unique experience. Worth visiting. Please note its closed on Monday.

The Watson Museum in Rajkot is a hidden gem for history enthusiasts and culture lovers. Located in the heart of the city, it offers a fascinating glimpse into the region's rich heritage. The museum houses a remarkable collection of artifacts, including ancient coins, pottery, sculptures, paintings, and textiles, each telling a unique story of Gujarat's history. The displays are well-organized, and the descriptions are informative, making it easy for visitors to understand the significance of each item. One of the highlights is the collection of artifacts from the Indus Valley Civilization and the tribal art section, showcasing the diversity of Gujarat's culture. The building itself is a colonial-era structure, adding to the charm of the visit. The staff is courteous and helpful, ensuring a pleasant experience. The ticket prices are very affordable, making it accessible to everyone. While the museum is fascinating, it could benefit from better lighting and improved maintenance in some areas. Still, it is an excellent place to spend a couple of hours exploring history.

Watson Museum, Rajkot Visiting the Watson Museum was a delightful experience! It offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history and culture of Saurashtra and Gujarat. Located in the beautiful Jubilee Garden, the museum is housed in a charming colonial-style building that adds to its heritage feel. What I liked: A great collection of archaeological artifacts, coins, sculptures, traditional textiles, and ancient relics from the Indus Valley Civilization. Informative displays on Rajkot’s royal heritage, art, and craftsmanship. Well-maintained galleries that can be explored comfortably in 1–2 hours. Very affordable entry fee (₹5 for Indians). Helpful and knowledgeable staff. Convenient location — just a few minutes from Rajkot Junction. What could be improved: Some exhibits could use better lighting and clearer descriptions. Certain sections feel slightly outdated and could benefit from modern displays or digital guides. Closed on Wednesdays, 2nd and 4th Saturdays, and public holidays — plan accordingly. Tips for visitors: Visit in the morning for a peaceful experience. Combine your visit with a walk in Jubilee Garden and a quick stop at Kaba Gandhi No Delo nearby. Photography is generally allowed, but confirm before taking pictures. Overall, Watson Museum is a must-visit spot in Rajkot for anyone interested in history, culture, and art. It beautifully preserves the essence of Gujarat’s glorious past. Highly recommended! 👏

The Watson Museum exhibiting collection of items from around Gujarat. The items are good quality, and arranged thematically. The items on display is a very eclectic mix of items that would not be out of place in a major museum, but arranged in a compact package. Sadly, there’s very little information except for the labels. The religious statues, marble statue of Queen Victoria and the Durbar Hall of the princely states of Gujarat are the most interesting items in the museum. The museum is located inside Jubilee Garden and can be done in about 30 minutes. The cost of entry is trivial, but taking photos is twice the cost of entrance for a foreigner.

It was great experience there. All the rides are great. No problem in any rides. And few rides are dangerous but thrilling. Great. This is the best theme park in Gujarat. It is situated near Rajkot. Here if you go in group then price is ₹800 for adult and ₹600 for children. But if you are individual then it would cost around ₹1000 per person. And this price is including lunch and all rides unlimited times free. It was a great fun. It would take full day there.

I recently had the most calming and soul-soothing experience at the Dwarkadhish Temple. It is truly one of the most magnificent and spiritually enriching temples I’ve ever visited. Mobile phones are not allowed inside the temple, which only added to the sense of peace and presence. I was fortunate to visit last weekend when there was no crowd at all. I even had the rare opportunity to sit quietly inside for 15–20 minutes, completely immersed in the serenity and the sound of prayers. The temple is beautifully surrounded by the Arabian Sea, which adds to its divine charm. After stepping out, I spent hours by the shore, watching the waves and soaking in the tranquil energy. It was a deeply blissful and unforgettable experience.

If you ever find yourself in Jamnagar, Shri Bala Hanuman Sankirtan Temple is a place you simply cannot miss. Located right by the peaceful Ranmal Lake, the temple has a divine charm that touches your heart the moment you step in. What makes this temple truly special is the never-ending chanting of "Shri Ram, Jai Ram, Jai Jai Ram” that has been going on continuously for more than six decades. Devotees take turns in shifts to keep the chanting alive, and being in that atmosphere feels both powerful and calming at the same time. It's no surprise that this tradition has even earned recognition in the Guinness Book of World Records. The temple is very well maintained, clean, and welcoming, with the serene lake adding even more beauty to the surroundings. Whether you go for darshan, to sit in peace, or just to soak in the spiritual energy, you will surely leave with a sense of inner calm.

Ranmal Fort

Fortress
Museums
Specialty Museums
Lakhota Fort is a historic 19th-century fortress located on an island in the middle of Lakhota Lake in Jamnagar, Gujarat, India. The fort's architecture reflects a blend of Rajput and European styles and it was once the original seat of the Jamnagar ruler. Surrounding the fort is Ranmal Lake, adding to its picturesque setting.
"Uncovering History at Ranmal Fort, Jamnagar - A Hidden Gem!" Rating:_ 4/5 I recently had the privilege of visiting Ranmal Fort in Jamnagar, Gujarat, and it was a truly enriching experience. This 16th-century fort, built by the Jadeja dynasty, is a treasure trove of history and architecture. As I entered the fort, I was struck by its sheer size and grandeur. The fort's walls, though weathered by time, still exude a sense of majesty. The intricate carvings, ornate gates, and majestic towers left me awestruck. The fort's history is palpable in every nook and corner, with whispers of the past echoing through the empty corridors. The museum within the fort premises houses an impressive collection of artifacts, further enriching the experience. The entry fee is reasonable, with a Rs 10/person charge at the first gate and Rs 25/person for the museum. Although I couldn't experience the night light view of the palace due to my early departure, I've heard it's breathtaking. Overall, Ranmal Fort is a must-visit for travel enthusiasts and photographers. The peaceful atmosphere under the shades of the trees is a bonus. However, the lack of maintenance and signage made navigation a bit challenging. Note that photography is not allowed inside the museum.

Khijadia bird sanctuary is a popular destination for bird watchers and nature lovers. It's located at around 15 Kms from Jamnagar. It's said that, the sanctuary is home to more than 220 species of birds including both, migratory and resident birds. The best time to plan your trip is from October to February when the migratory birds make their way to the sanctuary. Try to visit the sanctuary early in the morning, if possible. There are two parts to the Sanctuary. 'Part I' which is a stretch of around 6 Kms and no vehicles are allowed in this area. You have to walk to see the birds and experience the beauty of nature. 'Part II' which is a stretch of around 4 Kms and vehicles are allowed in this area. The entry ticket is Rs. 50 per person. The timing of the sanctuary is 6 AM to 5 PM.

Khijadia Bird Sanctuary, Rajkot: A Thrilling Adventure for Bird Enthusiasts Khijadia Bird Sanctuary is an extraordinary destination for bird watchers and nature lovers, offering an exhilarating adventure through its diverse ecosystems and vibrant birdlife. Here’s a detailed look at what makes this sanctuary a must-visit: The Journey Begins: Start your adventure at the ticket counter, where you’ll need to purchase your entry pass. The sanctuary is divided into two zones: 1. Zone 1: Approximately 6 km in length, this zone is strictly for walking. It offers a serene and immersive experience as you traverse through the natural habitat. 2. Zone 2: This zone allows visitors to explore with their own vehicles. The charges are around ₹100-150 per person, ₹200-400 per vehicle, and ₹100 for camera use.

Milan’s knowledge and passion for birding made the walk truly memorable. We were fortunate to witness over 30 species of birds, each more fascinating than the last. Milan’s explanations and insights into bird behavior and habitat were enlightening. Birdwatching Adventure: The sanctuary’s bird conservation efforts are commendable, creating a haven for numerous species to nest and thrive. Walking through the sanctuary, you’ll encounter a plethora of birdlife, from vibrant waterfowl to elusive forest dwellers.
