Gujarat offers the magical white salt desert of the Rann of Kutch, best seen at the Rann Utsav Tent City in Dhordo under a full moon, with Kutchi crafts, folk music and camel rides. Pilgrims visit the Dwarkadhish Temple in Dwarka and Somnath, first of the 12 Jyotirlingas, with the Blue Flag beach at Shivrajpur nearby. The Statue of Unity, Gir's lions and Ahmedabad's heritage add more.
Most trips are 2 to 5 nights – a Rann Utsav tent stay from Bhuj, or a Dwarka and Somnath circuit with beaches. Gujarati thalis make it a vegetarian food lover's dream. Every Trip Inventor package can be customised with hotels and flights from your city.

Gujarat tour FAQs
How do I reach the Rann of Kutch?
Fly to Bhuj, or to Ahmedabad, which has direct flights from all major cities, and continue by road or train to Bhuj. Dhordo, home of the Rann Utsav Tent City, is about 2 hours by road from Bhuj. An entry permit is needed for the White Rann – we arrange it with your package.
How much does a Gujarat trip cost?
Our Gujarat packages start from ₹15,125 per person on twin sharing, including taxes and GST. Tent category at the Rann Utsav, hotels and the number of nights affect the price, and we can add flights from your city.
How many days are enough for Gujarat?
2 nights is ideal for the Rann Utsav Tent City and the White Rann. With 4 to 5 nights you can cover Dwarka, Somnath and Shivrajpur beach, or add Ahmedabad and the Statue of Unity.
What is the best time to visit Gujarat?
November to February is the best time, with cool weather. The Rann Utsav 2026–27 runs from 1 November 2026 to 7 March 2027, and full-moon nights on the white salt desert are magical.
Is Gujarat good for a pilgrimage trip?
Yes. Dwarka is one of the Char Dham and Somnath is the first of the 12 Jyotirlingas, and both temples stand beside the sea.
