Spend the morning discovering the spectacular wildlife at the Gir National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary. The park is known for its rare Asiatic lions and other endangered species like leopards, bears, and crocodiles. Go for a guided Jeep or walking safari tour of the sanctuary. With an extensive network of roads in the core tourism zone, the safari can cover up to 35 km in about 4 to 5 hours. Don't forget to take your camera for some excellent wildlife photography.
After a thrilling day at the sanctuary, visit the ancient Uparkot Fort built around 250 BC. The fort has seven gates, huge water tanks, and several ancient temples and inscriptions. From the Uparkot Fort, head towards the Mahabat Maqbara, also known as the "Taj Mahal of Junagadh." This impressive mausoleum was built in 1892 in the Indo-Islamic architectural style and is a testament to the Nawabs of Junagadh's power.
End the first day with a fantastic party at the Geeta Lodge. This iconic drinking hole is known for its famous regulars, unique decor, and reasonably priced drinks. You can also enjoy their mouth-watering snacks while listening to classic Bollywood tunes.
Spend the second day discovering the fabulous Sakkarbaug Zoo that shelters over 200 species of animals. In addition to the zoo exhibits, partake in their popular lion safari, bear safari, and musical fountain show. The zoo is also home to several species of birds and reptiles.
After visiting the zoo, head towards the ancient Uperkot Caves, a complex of 20 Buddhist caves built approximately 2,000 years ago and believed to be residence centers of the Buddhist monks. The caves feature unique architecture, intricate carvings on pillars, walls, and domes. Spend the evening discovering the Junagadh Buddhist Cave Groups, a group of caves that represent Buddhist rock-cut architecture from the 3rd century BC to the 4th century AD. The caves contain several stone sculptures representing Buddha and the Bodhisattva and are a sight to behold.
Finish the Bachelor Party itinerary by enjoying a party at the serene Zanzari Waterfalls. This stunning cascade is a natural waterfall that's ideal for swimming, having a barbecue, playing music, and having a great time with your friends.
If you have an extra day, consider visiting the Junagadh Zoo and Museum, known for its collection of rare flora and fauna, or the Adi-Kadi Vav, an ancient stepwell. If you have less time, skip the Junagadh caves and head directly to the Zanzari Waterfalls. Remember that the Gir National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary is closed from mid-June to mid-October, so plan your trip accordingly.
