Gujarat Yatra Calendar — Festivals & Best Months

A Gujarat yatra calendar maps the year's major pilgrimage and festival dates — Maha Shivratri at Somnath, Janmashtami at Dwarka, Navratri, Kartik Purnima and the Rann Utsav season — against the best travel weather of October to March. Confirm exact dates each year, as most follow the lunar calendar.

Key dates through the year

Major devotional occasions include Maha Shivratri at Somnath (Feb–Mar), Janmashtami at Dwarka (Aug–Sep), Navratri across Gujarat (Sep–Oct), Kartik Purnima at Somnath (Nov) and the Rann Utsav season in Kutch (roughly Nov–Feb).

Most religious dates follow the Hindu lunar calendar, so they shift year to year. Use this as a planning guide and confirm the exact dates for your travel year before booking. A downloadable calendar may be offered separately — check availability rather than assuming it.
