Upon arrival in Ahmedabad, check in at your hotel and proceed for a sightseeing tour. Begin at Gandhi Ashram, where Mahatma Gandhi resided and led India's freedom movement. Explore Hridaya Kunj, his simple cottage preserved as a national monument. Next, visit Hutheesing Jain Temple, renowned for its ornate architecture. Then, admire the intricate carvings at Adalaj Step-well, an ancient rainwater harvesting structure.
After breakfast, embark on a day excursion to Ambaji Temple. Located in Ambaji town, the temple is known for its inscribed Yantra and is dedicated to Goddess Ambaji. The temple is aligned with the original abode of the goddess at Gabbar hill. Situated in the Arasur hills, about 22 km from Danta, Ambaji Temple is one of India's major Shakti-piths. Millions of pilgrims visit annually, particularly during Navratri, seeking the blessings of Goddess Ambaji. Later, return to Ahmedabad.
After breakfast, embark on a day excursion to Pavagadh. Situated near Vadodara in Gujarat, Pavagadh is home to the famous and ancient Mahakali Temple, revered by Hindus from Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra. It is one of the three main Shaktipeeths in Gujarat, believed to be the site where a part of Goddess Sati's body fell according to Hindu scriptures. The temple, located atop a mountain near Champaner town, attracts pilgrims from across India. Later, return to Ahmedabad.
After breakfast, drive to Chotila on the Ahmedabad-Rajkot Main Highway. Chotila town lies at the foot of Chamunda hill, crowned by the Goddess Chamunda temple at 1173 feet above sea level. Originally held by the Sodha Parmar clan, it was later conquered by the Khachar Kathis in 1566 AD. Legend has it that Chotila derived its name from the division of the village into four parts (char tilas) after the Kathis took possession. Later, proceed to Rajkot. Upon arrival, visit Kaba Gandhi No Delo, where Mahatma Gandhi spent his early years, followed by a visit to Rajkumar College, where he completed his secondary education. Rajkot is a serene provincial town, once a small princely state where Mahatma Gandhi's father served as the Dewan (Chief Minister).
After breakfast, drive to Junagadh via Girnar Hills, known for its ancient Jain temples dating from 12th to 15th century. Climb 5,500 steps for breathtaking views from Gorakhnath Peak. Arrive in Junagadh, check into your hotel, and unwind after the adventurous journey.
