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.

TRIVENI SANGAM ATITHIGRUH

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Dharamshala
Sights & Landmarks
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. 🌊🙏

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.

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

=> It is also known as Dehotsarg Teerth and located on the bank of the Hiran river near the Triveni Sangam and around 2 km from the Somnath temple. => It is believed that Lord Krishna, after being shot by an arrow of hunter Jara at Bhalka Tirth, took rest here. => Here you can not only feel the divinity but also can have a breathtaking view of the river with some migratory birds. => Inside the complex there are many temples which include Geeta Mandir with statue of Lord Krishna, Lakshminarayan mandir having the statues of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi, Krishnacharan paduka, Cave of Baldevji, Golok ghat, Kashi Vishwanath mandir, Mahaprabhuji bethak and Bhimnath mandir => When you are in Somnath, this is the must visit place and should always be included in your itinerary.

Rajendra P — Google review
This place has its own significance in the history of Hinduism. This is the very place where Lord Krishna, after being fatally wounded due to the arrow shot by hunter Jara, left his mortal body to proceed to his heavenly abode in Goloka. To depict the same, there is also an impression of Lord Krishna's Charan Paduka that is kept at the very center of the complex. Apart from this, there are multiple temples inside the complex itself. For example, the Gita Mandir has a beautiful statue of Lord Krishna, while the temple's pillars have the entire verses of The Holy Bhagwad Gita encored upon them. The Lakshmi Narayan Temple inside the complex houses the statues of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi while giving information about all the 24 avatars of the Lord, including their pictorial depictions and descriptions. The entire complex in itself being on the bank of the Hiran river, the surrounding area is stunning. There are also plenty of seagulls flying around, so be careful. However, the vast expanse of the land on the opposite side of the river and the lush green vegetation are soothing to watch. A must-visit place to feel the divinity and the burst of positive energy !!!

The beach boasts clean shores and clear waters, perfect for nature lovers seeking relaxation. It is renowned for its stunning views and crystal-clear water that allows visibility of the seabed. Madhavpur Ghed, a culturally significant village nearby, is believed to be where Lord Krishna married Rukmini according to folklore.
So far one of the best beach I have visited in Gujarat. Very neat and clean - less crowded as well. Visited during high tide so waves were dangerous, couldn’t go into the sea. Kids played nicely on the beach, clean sand. It’s still developing and not too many food options so would suggest you take water, Food along.

Madhavpur beach is one of the craziest beach anyone would ever witness. Ocean waves here can sometimes be very scary, powerful and huge. Very beautiful place, a good break spot when you’re on the way to Somanath temple. BUT BE VERY CAREFUL ON THE SEA SHORE.

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.

Madhavpur Beach, located on the Porbandar Veraval highway, is a pristine and tranquil destination in Gujarat. The beach boasts clean shores and clear waters, perfect for nature lovers seeking relaxation. It is renowned for its stunning views and crystal-clear water that allows visibility of the seabed. Madhavpur Ghed, a culturally significant village nearby, is believed to be where Lord Krishna married Rukmini according to folklore.
So far one of the best beach I have visited in Gujarat. Very neat and clean - less crowded as well. Visited during high tide so waves were dangerous, couldn’t go into the sea. Kids played nicely on the beach, clean sand. It’s still developing and not too many food options so would suggest you take water, Food along.

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.

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

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.

The surroundings of the attraction also need a lot of uplifting. Currently it seems very shabby.

The Darbar Hall Museum is housed in the building where the Nawabs of Junagadh held court and assemblies. The building is a riot of pink coloured walls, domes and parapets. The entrance fee is small and there’s the usual 10x entrance fee for foreigners compared to the locals. It’s also extra to take photos in the museum, twice the price entrance fee! The main rooms are Silver Room, Weapons Room, Glass & Pottery Room, Coins Room, Wood Furnishings Room, Howdah & Palanquin Room and Nawab Portraiture Room. There very little English description except in the coins room, glass room and portraiture rooms. The building is nice, but in need of TLC. The items are good quality, but the room is little more than a few items thrown together. Other than that, the museum does have some beautiful glass chandeliers that once belonged to the Nawabs. The entry price is little more than pocket change and it's nothing more than a 20 sideline of you have time. Don't bother unless you have lots of it in Junagadh.

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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

A great place for families, history lovers, or anyone visiting Junagadh!

Sakkarbaug Zoological Park

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
Amit A — Google review
We visited the zoo on a Thursday and were impressed by the variety of animals, especially the dancing peacock. The safari was well-organized and enjoyable. Only few food options are there It would be more helpful if have more food options available, but overall, it was a great day out and I would definitely recommend it to families with young children.

I visited here with my family. This zoo is very big and comfortable place for birds and animals. Trusts are always taken care of this animals as well as birds and snks. Howevere, this zoo is very useful to know about animals, birds and other wild animals. This is well maintained place 👏 👌 🙌 👍 😀 must visit.
Bhargini S — Google review
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. 😒
Felipe L — Google review
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.
Sreeganesh ( — Google review
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.

Nestled amidst lush greenery, Girnar is a revered mountain that serves as a significant pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Jains. 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. Also please help in keeping the place clean ❤️🚩

Girnar Hill, also known as Mount Girnar, is a prominent pilgrimage site and a beautiful mountain range in Gujarat, India, attracting both religious devotees and nature enthusiasts. It's known for its numerous temples, including Jain temples like the Neminath Temple, and Hindu shrines like the Dattatreya Temple. The hill offers a challenging climb of over 10,000 steps, but also features a ropeway for a more relaxed experience.
Lakhan ( — Google review
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.

A journey to Girnar Hill is more than just a trek — it’s an experience. The winding paths, lush greenery, and panoramic views from the summit fill you with awe. Watching the clouds drift below you from the top is the best feeling. Perfect for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.

Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
Visiting the Shri Guru Dattatreya Sansthan is an unforgettable journey that beautifully blends spirituality and adventure. Nestled amidst nature, this sacred site requires a trek of over 10,000 steps up Girnar Hill, rewarding you with stunning vistas and a profound sense of connection to history and faith. While the climb can be challenging—especially during monsoon season when rain gear is essential—the experience is truly enriching.
This is one of the experiences you have to earn and can't just pay for it. After climbing 10000 steps , you will understand why people say "gods reside in heaven" The beauty of this place is just breathtaking . 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.

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.

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.

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.

Shree Ghela Somnath Mahadev Mandir is a less popular but historically significant temple in Gujarat. It holds the Shiva Linga that was brought here from Somnath during an attack by Ghori, with Minaldevi and Ghelo Vanoyo risking their lives to protect it. The temple is about 40 minutes away from Gadhada and offers food, stay facilities, and parking for devotees.
Which we know by the name of Mahadev, that is Bholiyanath, that is Ghela Somnath Mahadev, which is located in Jasdan taluka. This is the Shankar Bhagwan temple, which we know by the name of Ghela Somnath. On the circumambulation path of Ghela Somnath temple, the names of the twelve Jyotirlingas and information about them are given. When you enter the temple, a garden has also been made on its left side in the name of the martyred soldier. What else can I say where there is real Somnath Mahadev and also Ghela Somnath, to whom you can get whatever you wish for.A photo of the history of Ghela Somnath has also been added to the review.

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!

Recognized in the Limca Book of Records for its unique and expansive collection.

Friendly and helpful staff guide visitors through the exhibits and share the fascinating stories behind many dolls.

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.

It’s been great to see a father’s commitment to her daughter for building such a dolls museum because he wasn’t able to make her daughter saw museum in Delhi. Many activities are going on here with just deposit and if full attendance then they refund full amount. Really well preserved all dolls in museum and one Zebra ride kind of activity is great for kids.

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

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.

The stadium looks great. But the traffic management is the worst I have seen. The seats are covered with bird poop. They don’t clean. The roads entering to the stadium and parking lots are unpaved. It creates breathing problems and congestion. Entering at the gate created a stampede. They have one of the worst management. After the game the worst traffic nightmare comes. See the photos and videos below. Do not come here if you’re not a local resident.

A land of 30 acres was sanctioned in 2004 near the Jamnagar highway to build this state-of-the-art cricket stadium. The construction began in 2006 and almost 75 crores was spent.

It also caters as a sporting complex to various other sports like badminton, volleyball and basketball.

The venue features two big screens, enhancing the viewing experience. However, there is no water facility available, so you’ll need to go downstairs to purchase it. Food and soft drinks are available from various vendors, but expect to pay a premium price. Overall, it's a great place to enjoy a match with its vibrant atmosphere and comfortable seating.

Amazing stadium to enjoy cricket games. It’s not too big or too small so you can blindly take any seat and will still be able to enjoy the game.

I would recommend this stadium and will definitely come back for future matches.
