Useful Tips

This itinerary will make for an unforgettable day trip, but it’s possible to expand it into a longer trip by adding other important sights in the area, including Lothal, the Sun Temple in Modhera, and the Dholavira excavation site. Visitors with less time can shorten the itinerary by skipping Mahudi Jain Temple, which is a bit out of the way, and visiting just the other three sites.
