Gujarat Heritage vs Wildlife Tour
A Gujarat heritage tour centres on temples, stepwells and old cities — Somnath, Dwarka, Modhera, Patan, Champaner and Ahmedabad's heritage core. A wildlife tour centres on Gir's Asiatic lions, the Wild Ass Sanctuary in the Little Rann and coastal birding. Many travellers blend the two, but the emphasis changes the route and season.
