Travel Tips For Gujarat Holiday Packages


 

  • The best time to choose Gujarat holiday packages is the winter months (October-March). If you wish to avoid crowds and improve the chances of seeing Asiatic lions at Gir, but can bear high temperature, March-May is the ideal time.
  • When at Dwarka and Somnath, make sure to be dressed up traditionally and avoid revealing clothes.
  • Somnath Temple doesn’t allow entry to the non-Hindus. However, you may contact the temple authorities who grant permission after knowing your details and purpose of visit.
  • Leather items like wallets, belts and purses and electronic gadgets are disallowed at these temples. You can store them at the free lockers near the temples or keep them safe in the hotel rooms.
  • At Somnath, don’t miss the tempting prasad of ladoos (cost INR 20 for two pieces), one of the interesting highlights of Gujarat holiday packages.
  • Don’t visit the beaches in Diu after it gets dark as there are no proper lighting facilities.
  • Permits for Gir National park Safari are booked online in advance (usually, all the permits get sold online itself). WaytoIndia team can help you in this.
  • The early morning safari at Gir is the best one.
  • Weekend and festival time safari trips are usually over-crowded.
  • Dress up in pastel colours (green/brown), avoid making noise and smoking inside the park.
