Best Time to Visit Gujarat

The best time to visit Gujarat is from October to March. It's winter with pleasant days, evenings cooler, and full festival vibes. April - June is a hot summer but manageable for short coastal plans and indoor attractions; July–September is monsoon with green landscapes, fewer crowds, and value stays. For a comfy, photo-friendly Gujarat tour, pick winter, and always carry light but warm clothes for late evenings along the coast.

Things to Do in Gujarat:

There are multiple things to do in Gujarat that you would love and will cherish as a memory with your loved ones. Here we are describing the most popular activities. So let’s start.

1. Spot wildlife:

Gujarat is home to a diverse flora and fauna, which allows you to see the Asiatic lion and many other majestic creatures at Gir National Park. Morning and afternoon safaris run in marked zones, which is a must-have experience. However, permits are limited, so pre-booking is essential. Devaliya Safari Park offers a shorter, enclosed alternative, handy for elders and younger kids.

2. Go on a spiritual tour:

Home to a number of temples, you get to experience peace and calm in temples like Dwarkadhish, Nageshwar, Somnath, Bhalka Tirth, and river ghats. Respect the tradition and culture, and dress simply, keep shoulders covered, and carry a small scarf for darshan areas. The evenings are best for enjoying aartis in temples and the cool sea breeze.

3. Watch the sunset by Kankaria Lake:

Now this may look too simple to experience, but trust us, Ahmedabad’s beloved Kankaria lake, the sunset you see here is one of the most beautiful sunsets you would have ever seen. Apart from this, this area also has toy trains, cycling paths, and snack corners. Time your stroll for golden hour; kids enjoy the small rides, while adults relax with calm water views.

4. Go hiking:

Hiking is another great adventure that you can have here. For mellow treks and monsoon vistas, Saputara is a good start. Add Polo Forest’s trails for heritage-in-nature, or coastal rambles around Diu (nearby UT) for beach-and-bastion frames. Always carry water, caps, and keep to marked paths for safety.

5. Learn about the regional history:

If you are more than a traveler, an explorer, then the royal stories at Laxmi Vilas Palace and Fateh Singh Museum in Vadodara, exploring textile legacies at Ahmedabad’s Calico Museum will surely amaze you! The old city’s poles demonstrate climate-smart homes, with wooden façades, internal courts, and community planning. Gujarat package with an experienced guide could help you explore this.

6. Explore the ancient ruins at Lothal:

Our ancestors were amazing architects and engineers. This Harappan port reveals dockyards, drainage, and brickwork from a sophisticated past. The site museum’s beadwork and trade maps from the Bronze Age make you wonder at the intelligence that they had. Visit mornings to avoid the heat and read the displays unhurriedly.

7. Visit the Milk Capital of India - Amul:

Every Indian is aware of the brand Amul and the little cute girl in there. At Anand, the Amul girl and the story come alive, cooperatives, quality control, and the journey from farm to table are really inspiring to how sophisticated a packet of milk is. On select days, plant tours (by permission) and cafés offering fresh treats delight curious travelers and kids.

8. Watch Flamingos at Kutch Sanctuary:

In winter, wetlands around Kutch attract flamingos, pelicans, and migratory birds. Pair birding with White Rann sunsets and Bhuj’s craft villages is a view that you would never want to miss. Carry binoculars, maintain distance, and avoid nesting zones; responsible sightings preserve the magic.

9. Visit Sabarmati Ashram:

Another historical region in Gujarat is the Sabarmati Ashram. Quiet corridors, khadi spindles, and old letters narrate the life of courage and simplicity of our nation’s father, Mahatma Gandhi. The riverside walk is a gentle cooldown after the exhibits. You can imagine that Bapu often took these riverside walks.

10. Step into a stepwell:

Another beautiful place to visit is Rani-ki-Vav (Patan), and Adalaj are sculpted masterpieces. Layered galleries offer a cool retreat and dramatic light for photography. Early morning visits bring soft shadows and thinner crowds—ideal for families.

A balanced Gujarat tour can thread wildlife, faith, and crafts into one amazing experience, leaving you with stories that feel personal and inspiring!

Food to Try in Gujarat:

1. Thepla:

Let’s start this list of foods to try in Gujarat with the famous ‘Thepla’. Soft, spiced flatbreads (often with methi) that taste great with curd or pickle. It is a perfect snack for road trips or a picnic with your family, completely light, comforting, and homely.

2. Undhiyu:

Another food to try in Gujarat is a winter favorite from Surat known as ‘ Undhiyu,’ mixed vegetables and fenugreek dumplings, slow-cooked in earthen pots. Deep, festive flavors pair beautifully with puri and a side of hot jalebi.

3. Mohanthal:

Mohanthal is a gram-flour fudge roasted patiently in ghee and finished with cardamom. Its grainy bite and that aromatic smell make it ideal for celebrations. This could be a great souvenir to take back for your loved ones! They will love it.

4. Fafda-Jalebi:

Now this one is special as it is a favorite of even Jethalal. A crisp besan fafda with sambharo (raw papaya), fried chilies, and sweet warm jalebis. The combination of spicy and sweet is best when eaten fresh. You could easily find these at popular street counters in the morning. A well-customized Gujarat package will surely have this in the itinerary.

5. Murghanu Shaak:

A homestyle chicken curry from certain regional communities, cooked with everyday spices, onion, and tomato, resulting in a mild-to-medium spice level and gentle, earthy gravy. It’s the kind of comfort dish families cook on weekends. Best enjoyed with bajra rotla, jeera rice, or even fluffy phulkas for a wholesome Gujarati meal.

6. Khandvi:

Silky, tangy gram-flour rolls prepared with yogurt, tempered with mustard seeds, sesame, and green chilies for a hint of heat. These delicate rolls are light on the belly, slightly sour, and melt in the mouth. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or tea-time, they pair beautifully with fresh green chutney or cooling yogurt dip.

7. Gujarati Samosa:

Flaky pastry stuffed with a uniquely sweet-spicy potato mix, sometimes enhanced with peanuts, raisins, and gentle spices. Distinct from the North Indian samosa, which is sharper in taste, this version balances savory with a subtle sweetness. Order both to compare styles, and pair with tamarind chutney for the full experience.

8. Dhokla:

Fluffy, fermented gram-flour cakes steamed until soft and airy, then tempered with curry leaves, green chilies, and sesame seeds. This breakfast and tea-time favorite is lightly tangy, savory, and very versatile. Best enjoyed warm with green chutney, but also delicious when topped with grated coconut or served with spicy farsan.

9. Handvo:

A nutritious baked cake made from fermented lentils and rice batter, often enriched with grated vegetables like bottle gourd, carrot, or zucchini. Crisp and golden on the outside, soft and savory inside, Handvo is wholesome, protein-rich, and filling. Traditionally cut into slices and served with green chutney, pickle, or yogurt.

Food Tip: In Ahmedabad, try Manek Chowk at night; in Surat, try undhiyu with ghari; by the beach, sample fresh catches are available. Add customized food stops to your Gujarat package so you never miss the state’s signature snacks.
