POPULAR ROUTES

From Ahmedabad, with a plan

These are the roads customers ask for. Distances are approximate, one way. Days are what we recommend when nobody is trying to prove a point.

Dwarkadhish Temple tower flying its ceremonial flag
GujaratPilgrimage

Ahmedabad ↔ Dwarka

The classic west-coast run. Most families leave after breakfast, reach by evening, and keep the next morning for the temple. Pair it with Somnath if you have a third day.

Distance
About 450 km
Drive
8–9 hours on the road
Plan
2 days is the comfortable plan
Somnath Temple golden shikhara above the seafront plaza
GujaratPilgrimage

Ahmedabad ↔ Somnath

A straight highway day with a sea wind at the end of it. Worth an overnight so darshan is not squeezed between two long drives.

Distance
About 430 km
Drive
8 hours on the road
Plan
2 days, or 3 with Dwarka
The Statue of Unity rising over the valley
Gujarat

Ahmedabad ↔ Statue of Unity

Close enough for a day trip from Ahmedabad if you leave early. An overnight is kinder if you want the viewing gallery and the valley without watching the clock.

Distance
About 200 km
Drive
4 hours each way
Plan
1 long day, or a calm overnight
An Asiatic lion resting in Gir forest
Gujarat

Ahmedabad ↔ Gir (Sasan)

Book the jeep safari before you book the car, then tell us the slot. We time the drive so you are at the gate rested, not arriving as the permit closes.

Distance
About 380 km
Drive
7–8 hours
Plan
2–3 days
Sunset on the white salt desert of the Rann of Kutch
Gujarat

Ahmedabad ↔ Rann of Kutch

The Rann is a winter trip. Summers are a different country. We run Ahmedabad to Bhuj or straight toward Dhordo, and we will tell you if the day you picked is a bad idea.

Distance
About 400 km to Dhordo
Drive
7–8 hours
Plan
2–3 days
White shikharas of the Shankheshwar Parshvanath Jain temple flying red flags
GujaratPilgrimage

Ahmedabad ↔ Shankheshwar

The nearest big Jain tirth to Ahmedabad. Most families leave after breakfast, do darshan at Shankheshwar Parshvanath, and are home for dinner. If you want a fuller day, Patan is on the way back.

Distance
About 120 km
Drive
About 3 hours each way
Plan
1 day, out and back
Palitana temple complex rising above its wall on Shatrunjaya hill
GujaratPilgrimage

Ahmedabad ↔ Palitana

Shatrunjaya's temple city is climbed on foot, so the plan is an early start, not a late one. Sleep at Palitana or Bhavnagar, climb before the heat, and drive back the next day.

Distance
About 205 km
Drive
About 3.5–4 hours
Plan
2 days is comfortable
Uparkot fort bastion and battlements under a bright sky
Gujarat

Ahmedabad ↔ Junagadh

Uparkot fort in the morning, Girnar's steps or the ropeway after lunch. Sasan Gir is close enough that many families add a safari night to the same trip.

Distance
About 325 km
Drive
About 6–6.5 hours
Plan
2 days, or 3 with Gir
Stone entrance arch of Diu fort in warm light
Coast

Ahmedabad ↔ Diu

The Portuguese fort, quiet beaches, and a sea wind at the end of the Saurashtra highway. Diu is small enough that two unhurried days cover it well.

Distance
About 360 km
Drive
About 6–6.5 hours
Plan
2–3 days
Moti Daman fort's Portuguese gate over a wet road
Coast

Ahmedabad ↔ Daman

An easy coast weekend: Devka and Jampore on the sea side, the Moti Daman fort and its churches inside the walls, and back home by Sunday night.

Distance
About 350 km
Drive
About 5.5–6 hours
Plan
1–2 days
