GETTING HERE

Gir Serai - IHCL SeleQtions

This stunning temple complex  is dedicated to Lord Swaminarayan. Known for its intricate architecture, the temple is adorned with sandstone carvings that depict Indian culture, spirituality and traditions. Its  exhibition halls feature interactive displays, dioramas and short films on Indian heritage and spirituality. Take a leisurely stroll along the serene gardens and don't miss out on the Sahaj Anand water show in the evening that combines storytelling, music and laser technology.

SWAMINARAYAN AKSHARDHAM

This unique attraction, featuring life-sized dinosaur sculptures and fossil exhibits along with a botanical garden, zoo and aviaries, is a haven for nature enthusiasts. The park also includes a fossilized egg display, a nature interpretation center and an aquarium. Its lush green trails make it a perfect spot for leisurely walks or picnics.

INDRODA NATURE PARK

A state-of-the-art convention and exhibition center built to honor Mahatma Gandhi, the complex houses a large exhibition hall, conference facilities and a beautifully landscaped garden. The Gandhi museum within the complex showcases rare photographs, books and artifacts related to his life.

MAHATMA MANDIR

Translated  to ‘Holy Forest’ this  botanical garden features over 3000 varieties of plants and trees, arranged in sections based on astrological and medicinal significance. It’s an excellent spot for botany enthusiasts and nature lovers.

PUNIT VAN

This educational and recreational hub features interactive exhibits on science and technology. Highlights include the IMAX 3D theater, a planetarium, an energy park and a robotics gallery. The Hall of Space and Life Sciences is particularly popular among children and students.

GUJARAT SCIENCE CITY (AHMEDABAD)

This historical stepwell showcasing intricate Indo-Islamic architecture was built in the 15th century, as a communal space for villagers and travelers to gather water and rest. It features beautifully carved pillars, ornamental motifs and cool interiors.

ADALAJ STEPWELL (ADALAJ VAV)

A haven for migratory birds, the sanctuary is spread over an area of 7 square kilometres, including Thol lake, marshlands and scrub forests. Home to several endangered bird species such as the Sarus crane, flamingos and pelicans, it hosts flocks of migratory birds - especially waterbirds - between November and February, and a large population of blackbuck (Indian antelope) in summers. The destination is an excellent weekend retreat for nature lovers and photographers.​

THOL LAKE SANCTUARY​

This ancient pilgrimage site is renowned for the idol of Ghantakarna Mahavir Dev, believed to possess miraculous powers. Next to the shrine is a bell at a height of 30 feet. Devotees climb up to ring it for the fulfillment of a wish. A larger temple in the vicinity has a 22-inch marble idol of Padmaprabhu, the sixth Jain tirthankara in padmasana (lotus) posture. It is customary to take a bhoomti (circumambulation) around the 24 shrines of the tirthankaras (spiritual leaders) here.​

MAHUDI JAIN TEMPLE​

Set on the western banks of Sabarmati River, the capital city of Gujarat is home to a rich cultural legacy, pioneering green initiatives and innovative urban design. From spectacular architecture and green parks to ancient stepwells, there’s much to marvel at in one of India’s best planned cities, named after the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi.​

Gir Serai, Gujarat - IHCL SeleQtions

Factsheet

Explore the many facets of Sasan Gir, where celebrated wildlife landscapes meet revered spiritual sites. While freely-roaming prides of the Asiatic lion remain the star attraction, our experiences also reveal quieter, lesser-explored sites for curious travellers  who seek to uncover hidden gems in the wild and offbeat places near Gir. Each moment promises a more intimate and authentic connection with the land, inviting you to explore Saurashtra’s natural, cultural and spiritual heritage. 

Venture into Gir National Park, the last natural habitat of the Asiatic lion, on a safari experience led by seasoned local naturalists. With the easiest access - Gir Serai - IHCL SeleQtions is just a 5-minute walk  from the park’s primary entry point, Sinh Sadan Gate  - timing and guidance seamlessly managed, guests are free to immerse themselves in Gir’s rich biodiversity. Our guides alert you to fresh pug marks, a sambal or a scavenger bird’s call, offering an intimate, immersive insight into the workings of the forest and its inhabitants. 

GIR JUNGLE SAFARI

Ideal for guests on a busy schedule, Devaliya Safari Park offers a concentrated glimpse of Gir’s wildlife within a compact, enclosed area. Lasting just under an hour, the experience is carefully curated to maximise sightings and enable close encounters with big cats, sambar (the largest Indian deer), chousingha (the world’s only four-horned antelope), Indian fox, jackal, striped hyena, blackbuck, and Gir’s impressive avian population including the critically endangered white-backed and long-billed vultures and the endangered Palla’s fish eagle.

DEVALIYA - A CAPSULE WILDERNESS ENCOUNTER

Travel to Somnath Temple, revered as the first of India’s 12 Jyotirlinga sites dedicated to Lord Shiva, on a seamlessly curated journey. While facilitating a smooth darshan of the deity and attendance at the aarti, we ensure that guests experience the spectrum of Somnath’s lesser-known, mythologically significant attractions - from Triveni Sangam, the confluence of the Hiran, Kapila and Saraswati rivers, to Bhalka Teerth, believed to be the site where Lord Krishna took his last breath, and the Prabhas Patan Museum, home to ancient ruins. With travel, timings and on-ground assistance carefully coordinated, guests can immerse themselves in a holistic experience of Somnath, not just as a landmark, but as a deeply moving spiritual encounter.

SACRED SOJOURN TO SOMNATH

This quietly immersive visit to the banks of Hiran River introduces guests to a unique shrine that is mythologically  believed to have been established by the demon king Hiranyakashipu in worship of Lord Shiva, rather than a deity or sage. Accompanied by knowledgeable local guides, explore the temple’s tranquil setting and spot crocodiles sunbathing on the river banks, during this underrated wildlife and spiritual experience.

RIVERSIDE REVERENCE AT HIRNESHWAR 

This remarkable experience includes a ride on Asia’s longest ropeway - the engineering marvel that is Junagadh’s Girnar Ropeway - to reach Ambaji Temple Girnar, a premier Shakti Peeth (one of the 51 sites where Goddess Sati’s heart is believed to have fallen). The eight-minute ropeway ride, which replaces a four-hour climb to the mountain temple, offers a thrilling approach to the renowned shrine, where you can learn about local customs and witness the Vish Yantra, resembling the goddess, installed in a gokh (niche) instead of a traditional idol.

ASCENT TO GIRNAR

Set out on a curated coastal escape to Diu, where Portuguese heritage and India’s maritime history meets pristine, natural beauty. This guided experience brings together the region’s most evocative landmarks, from the historic Diu Fort and the sculpted formations of Naida Caves, to the baroque elegance of St Paul’s Church. Pause by the gentle waters of Nagoa Beach and visit the ocean-facing Gangeshwar Mahadev Temple, where five naturally-formed shivalings on a rocky seashore are perennially bathed by the Arabian Sea waves. The journey unfolds as a balanced exploration of history, spirituality and coastal calm.

SEASIDE REVERIE IN DIU

Discover the spiritual significance and maritime mystery of the submerged ancient city revered as the mythological kingdom of Lord Krishna. Along with guided visits to Dwarkadhish Temple, the revered Nageshwar Jyotirlinga and crossing the Sudama Setu bridge to reach Bet Dwarka, you’ll discover quieter yet significant sites such as Rukmini Devi Temple and Gopi Talav, before pausing by the serene shores of the spotless, Blue Flag-certified and the Dwarka Lighthouse.
