<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&#8211; A visa is required and must be obtained prior to your departure from your Country.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&#8211; In case the government changes presently applicable taxes, increase in airlines prices, fuel surcharge our rates will need to be adjusted accordingly.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">&#8211; In Asia, there is no relevance between the distance and time of travelling, as it depends upon the condition of the roads and congestion of the traffic.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Day 03 Ahmedabad – Lothal – Bhavnagar (By Road) (250 kms / 5 ½ Hours)</span></strong><br />

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Lothal began as a small village on the Sabarmati river, inhabited by people using &#8220;red ware&#8221; micaceous pottery similar to today’s terracotta, during the Chalcolithic era. Sea-faring merchants, and later the potters, masons, smiths, and seal-cutters of the Indus Valley Civilization, established a colony at Lothal circa 2450 BC, bringing with them their tools, technology, crafts, and expanded sea-borne trade. Lothal soon became an industrial center, one of the southernmost outposts of the Indus Valley Civilization, and the most important port of the empire.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Bhavnagar is situated 198 km from the state capital Gandhinagar and to the west of the Gulf of Khambhat. It has always been an important city for trade with many large and small scale industries along with the world&#8217;s largest ship breaking yard located 50 km away. Palitana Jain temples, which are important holy places for Jains, are situated 56 km away, and Velavadar national park, home to endangered species of wolves, antelopes and blackbucks, is situated 42 km away.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Day 04 Bhavnagar – Palitana – Diu (By Road) (260 kms / 6 Hours)</span></strong><br />

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Palitana – Shatrunjaya Temple The climb up Shatrunjaya is no doubt the primary activity of a Palitana visit, for Jains and non-Jains alike. The hill is 3 kms from Palitana proper, and the 600 m climb over 3000 stairs to the top of the mountain is an unforgettable experience. Beginning at dawn is recommended, to avoid the mid-day heat. Frequent rest stops to visit temples along the way also help avoid overheating. Many devotees even gather at the highest temples before sunrise, having climbed in the predawn twilight. Be sure to carry enough water and leave a few hours to explore the mountain. Idols are bathed around 9:30am, and pujas tend to be performed around noon. If climbing in the afternoon, be sure to descend with enough time to arrive at the bottom before dark.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The construction of temples of Palitana spanned over a period of 900 years and was structured in two phases. From the 11th to 12th centuries AD as a part of the resurgence of temple building all over India, the first phase of temple architecture was constructed. The second phase followed later, from the 16th century AD onwards. Muslim invaders destroyed some of the earliest temples built in the 11th century AD during the 14th and 15th centuries AD. No one person can be attributed for the construction of these magnificent temples rather it was the effort of the wealthy businessmen who were followers of Jainism.</span></p>

Geographically, Daman and Diu are the part of the state of Gujarat and connected to the mainland of Gujarat by a causeway. Diu is a tiny island in the Arabian Sea, about 11 kms. long and 3 kms. wide, separated from the coast by a narrow channel running through the swamp and two tiny mainland enclaves. It is very difficult to reach here so one has to travel through the town of UNA.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Day 06 Diu – Gir – Rajkot   (By Road) (280 kms / 5 ½ Hours)</span><br />

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Sasangir Gir you touch the history of India before humanity itself. Before monuments, temples, mosques and palaces. Or rather, a history as humanity was emerging, when humans coexisted with lions, before the former had overrun the continent and the world and pushed the latter to the brink of extinction.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Many come to Gir because, outside of Africa, it is the only place with wild lions. But to truly experience Gir and the lions, you must explore their natural habitat, with everything from tiny wild birds, not easily seen, but heard singing in the forest canopy, to crocodiles floating in the marsh waters.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The city of Junagadh, along with Mt. Girnar that looks down upon it, appear in stories and hearsay from long ago, beginning with associations with Krishna during his life in Saurashtra. Reportedly, the main center of the city, the fort known as Uparkot, was built by Chandragupta of the Mauryan empire around 320 BC, and archaeological evidence confirms this, showing that Uparkot has been inhabited continuously since the 3rd century BC. Hence the name Junagadh, which means “ancient fort.” Under the Mauryans, Junagadh was a regional capital, and Emperor Ashoka had stone edicts placed there, still visible today.</span></p>

Jarasandh attacked Krishna&#8217;s kingdom 17 times in a lengthy war as he tried to avenge the death of his son-in-law. The people of Mathura, the Yadavs, suffered heavy casualties.

			<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The West Coast State of Gujarat is not on popular tourist itineraries of foreign and Indian tourists. Although it is easy to travel to Gujarat during your trips to Mumbai or Rajasthan, few people pause to explore this very interesting part of India. Gandhinagar is the capital city of Gujarat. It is India&#8217;s second well planned city after Chandigarh. Makara Sankranthi is a big festival of Gujarat. The birth place of Mahatma Gandhi,the father of the nation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">State of Vibrant Culture: Gujarat covers an area of 196, 024 sq. km which is traditionally divided into three zones &#8211; the eastern mainland that includes the cities Ahmedabad, Surat and Vadodara; the Kathiawar peninsula better known as Saurashtra with its headquarters at Rajkot and Kutch with its most important town Bhuj. The state offers its visitors fabulous offbeat possibilities of exploring Gujarat&#8217;s vibrant culture and history. Here one scarcely knows where legend ends and history begins.</span></p>

Gujarat is bounded by the Arabian Sea on the west, Pakistan and Rajasthan in the north and northeast respectively, Madhya Pradesh in the southeast and Maharashtra in south. Gujarat with the longest coastline (1290km) in the country is renowned for its ancient temples, virgin beaches, and historic capitals replete with immense architectural assets, wildlife sanctuaries and hill resorts.</span></p>

It also offers the eager traveller wildlife sanctuaries and hill resorts that help showcase the best of the state to its visitors.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The state&#8217;s economy rests on its arts and crafts, as well as technology. Some of the country’s biggest businessmen come from Gujarat. Whether in art or in business, Gujarat has made a name for itself, and it is this fame that precedes it in the world of travel and tourism.</span></p>
