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.

  • 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.
