Experienced spiritual journey. You might find some difficulties during climbing but some kind of spiritual energy will give you strength. I don't know how I did this, that was quite impossible for me because of health issues, but at last I completed my journey. Jay Girnari 😊🙏

Girnar, also known as Girinagar or Revatak Parvata, situated near Junagadh. Is considered older than the Himalayas, Girnar, the mountain and its range are considered sacred. It is an important pilgrimage site for both Hindus , who gather here during the Girnar Parikrama festival. Later on some Jain temples were also built, some of which are very recent. Girnar is one of the five major ‘tirthas’ attributed to the ‘panch kalyanakas’ of various ‘Jain tirthankaras’. Girnar is also significant among Shiva devotees for the so-called “mystic space-time” of the mountain range, with the presence and turnover of different sects of Sadhu Babas, Nath sect and others. Flora and fauna fairs are also held at the mountains, such as the Maha Shivratri fair. It hosts a number of temples and some historical spots across its range. Amidst the lush green Gir Forest, the mountain range serves as the hub of religious Here is the some places which are not so much wellknown but must visit places around the girnar , or you can say on the route of PARIKRAMA Gaumukhi, Bordevi, Hanuman Temple, Sita madhi, Hanuman Madhi, Kamandal Kund, Datatrey Shikhar, Hasnapur Dam and many more. The photos are more of the places which is mot so famous. Now the Girnar roap way is working in its full strength and it is now easy to reach to the top of mountain and in between clouds and also infrant of JAGAT JANANI MA AMBA BHAVANI. The crest of the mountain (3330 feet) is reached by a steep flight of stairs. Here is an ancient temple of Hindu Goddess Amba mata temple, which is much resorted to by newly married couples . The bride and bridegroom have their clothes tied together, and attended by their male and female relations, adore the goddess and present cocoa-nuts and other offerings. This pilgrimage is supposed to procure for the couple along continuance of wedded bliss. I am giving every one who like mountaineering and see the photos and find the remote places for the adventure purpose and specially live in the clean and green environment

GIRNAR: Let me share you my experience of THE Girnar. Journey from Ahmedabad To Junagadh via Train. Railway station To Girnar destination via Auto. You can negotiate there its fun. Started climbing after refreshment at hotel and breakfast at around 4AM. ( Don't worry, you wont be alone, you will see many people starting to climb at this time. Also locals will be there to guide you) Bring Food (Fast food) and water with you in Bag. Girnar has around 10K steps (one way) and highest peak of Gujarat state. There are more than 3 temples in different level of Peak. Last destination would be Dattatrey Temple at 10k steps. 3 ways to hike: Trekking, Ropeway and doli. Ropeway will help you till 4k steps at Ambaji temple. You will have to strike for Dattatrey by walking only or Doli. It took approx 2 hours to reach Ambaji temple (4k step). The view from there is just spledid fr. From there, it would take another 2 hours to reach 10k steps at dattatrey. And The view from highest peak there will literally take your breathe away. Its one in a lifetime experience. Its like go before you turn 30 experience to me. They also provide you free lunch there in one of temples idk name. In my opinion, Go visit there only in Monsoon as you wont be tired in this season, also wont be needing drinking water much. Winter would be difficult as your body wont allow you to trekk in this temprature. And dont even think about summer lol. Its a one day Trekking so you can plan ut on saturday so you can rest sunday and go to jail, i mean job, on monday. We walked +24km in Girnar (smart watch). Attaching Photos and videos i have taken in Girnar for your reference.

It was thrilling experience to go Girnar hills with family, Beautiful nature place with Greenery, water, hills,clouds, rock,temple, birds. Just can't get enough... When you are up on the hills .. its feels like heaven... Those feelings like falling in love with these places....just want time stop here and i wanna stay here for more time. ..Best experience ever......🌿🌲🌳🍃

Beautiful Place. Best hiking experience. If you are going to climb the entire 10000 stairs, start early in the morning. We started at 2.00 am and reached Gurudev Datta temple at 6.30 am. Sunrise was worth to watch. You can also go by rope way, it starts at 7.00 am.

Wonderful and beautiful mountains, sunset, climate and temples😍. From Ropeway you reach to mata temple and it's in the middle of jain and dattatray mountain. The steps are really hard so please rent wooden stick. Come up with snacks & drinking water because expensive over here. Only one problem is there tourist throws all the waste in the mountains so it is damaging natural elements and also it's harmful how can they clean the mountain deeply. Please use your mind and dustbin.

An immensely beautiful mountain which will draw you again and again. It gives enchanting views of lush forests and rugged rocks all around.

The zoo was really nice. But maintenance of it was not up to the mark. Cleanliness was not cool. I hope authorities will try to make it more beautiful and provide more facilities to animals so that they can survive more and be happy. Birds were the highlights of the zoo for me since there were many birds in the zoo.

Small Zoo. But there are many kinds of animals and most of the attractions were many types of beautiful bird species. Just see my uploads. If you are visiting junagadh don't miss the chance to visit this zoological park. It's old but well maintained and clean and a very pleasant place for those animals. Ticket price is 30 rupees per person which is a very decent price and absolutely carry cash there is no online payment system for buying tickets.

Zoo is very big. Tickets for only ₹ 5 are available. There is a charge for parking Rs 40. for car. Many animals and birds are available in the zoo. 4 lion and 2 leopard, there is also a snake and a dragon is available. If you have the strength to walk, then go there. Only one ice cream & Cold drinks shop is available inside the zoo.

If u visit jungadh, then this is highly recommended & must visit place.. Good place to go with or without kids... lots of varieties & species of animals & birds are found here. Do not miss INTERNAL SAFARI with extra cost of Rs 50 per person. The zoo entry ticket is Rs 30 per adult Safari Rs 50 per adult.

The zoo was really nice. But maintenance of it was not up to the mark. Cleanliness was not cool. I hope authorities will try to make it more beautiful and provide more facilities to animals so that they can survive more and be happy. Birds were the highlights of the zoo for me since there were many birds in the zoo.

Well maintained zoo, with a number of animal species. Special attraction is of course the Asiatic Lion. Also saw Hippopotamus here for the first time. A great number of Bird species are also present, indigenous as well as exotic.

The gate is 30 rupees per person. The best zoo I've ever been to. The animals are well-fed. It has a variety of different scare animals. I sighted so many amazing animals of different species and the zoo educationist named, Shreya, was so detailed about each of them. I enjoyed my visit and it was an awesome exploration.

One of the oldest zoo of India - almost 160 years old.. Needs lot of maintenance. Officials should understand this to maintain the glory of a zoo which could be a matter of pride for Gujarat They do have variety of wild animals, birds, reptiles, fishes, etc. It's definitely fun time for kids to see variety of animals and birds Setback was the cages, play area, etc which were in bad shape. They do have ample parking space. Location is easily approachable.

Nice place to visit in free time. Best place to refresh from your busy and hectic life. You also come to know about such animal lifestyles and their behaviour moreover you find it entertaining. Also it has a public garden to spend our leisure time and one safari bus also organised by that zoo. In that you find interesting places to visit. Some rare species of birds and animals are available there.

Very well maintained zoo. Having Variety of birds and animal, must visit once in a year with kids. Best time to visit this zoo is February. Lion 🦁 and tiger 🐅 family are most attracting.

Very beautiful zoo in Gujarat. Most of animal see in tha sakkarbaug. Very quite birds in Zoological park.. Feel happy..

nice place to hangout with family. asiatic lion is the main centre of attraction. you will see more birds than animals like ostrich, types of American parrots etc. kids can enjoyy to during visit. good thing is its not too large...you will not have to walk for more distance.

Amazing place for animal lovers. Kids really enjoyed here. The place is very well maintained, the animals and birds of various species were here. Do visit this place.

Good and clean zoo Many type of wild animals and birds available. Entry fee is 30 rs for adult and 15 rs for child.

Oldest (1863) and one of the biggest zoos (210 acre) in India. Long term conservation plan for Asiatic lions, Grey Wolves and Indian Vultures going on. Lot of free ranging birds can seen on top of the tree... The zoo was home to 525 mammals, 597 birds, and 111 reptiles, housed in 100 enclosures.

Located near Sonrakh River Bridge on the Junagadh-Rajkot highway in Junagadh city. Considered one of the prime Junagadh tourist attractions, the zoo authorities are famed for having wild and free moving Asiatic lions that have been wiped out from most of Asia and are nowadays found only in the nearby Gir Forest. Apart from the Asiatic Lions, the Junagadh Zoo is home to 700 mammalian species, 115 reptiles, and 200 hundred birds. Chowsingha or the four-horned antelopes, Indian Leopards, chital, sambar, blackbucks, black panther, hippopotamus, Crocodiles, Ostriches, spotted deer, flying squirrel, monkey, etc. are the main animal species found in the zoo. Lush-green Ravantad tad palms, foxtail palms, tall Ashoka trees, and large banyan trees visible from the busy road add to the beauty of the zoo’s general surroundings which otherwise resemble that of the Gir forest, the last abode of Asiatic lions in the world. They've taken away the tigers as they were nowhere to be seen during the visit. As of the conditions of animals were not in a proper manner. Wildlife should be protected at any cost as they are very essential for our mother nature. Taking utmost care of them and providing necessary facilities will do a little part on ourselves to ensure the beautiful mother nature.

Sakkarbag have so many animal and birds but not any tiger .parking facility available and parking facility is disabled friendly and disable friendly entrance,wash room available but not in good condition.gadiyal crocodiles and othe crocodile spices available, mamy bird spices and African bird spices also available.drinkig water facility is available.if you are 12 years above than 30 rs tickit for each and up to 3 years it's free but if you are between 3 to 12 years than 15 rs tickit for each.

Great place for a weekend trip. The ticket price was bare minimum and it houses a variety of to be extinct or extinct species. It also offers different ticket of jungle safari in a bus of just 50Rs.

Good place for kids,we went early mornin, the zoo was just opening so no rush at all.. this was a very good The ticket price was just 30 for adult and 15 for kids.

One of the popular national parks of India, was busy when we visited last week. Though our booking was done and the fees where nominal, the place was crowded with brokers milling around trying to make few extra bucks. We got a brand new vehicle (Mahindra ?) with a good guide, but the challenge was language. Our guide could speak only in Hindi with us which most in my family couldn't follow. This experience could be improved with translation devices or recorded pods. Our Safari was for three hours and we almost didn't see any Lion, but got lucky as we were exiting the forest. We saw a lion resting and ignored totally. Good place, but visitor amenities can be improved significantly.

Amazing experience was a very smooth experience as everything was booked by our travel agent ! Safari was very professional and was very clean . There only one bathroom stop but I would not go was too dirty .again india is trying hard to keep everything clean but the population needs to be educated about cleanliness ! Everything was great I have no complaints but my one big question is why are lions so skinny don’t they get food on this open jungle anyone with answer please respond 🙏🏼😊. .Also I just praised this safari and o heard from people these are tamed lions 😥 also heard they do safari at night after the restricted time is over and bait the lions with bad food ? I hope whatever I heard is wrong and forest officials are involved in such crude things ! I generally don’t visit zoo or any such enclosed space to see animals but was excited to see this but now after hearing such things I am not sure how I feel about this place 🥲 Honestly want to take the star rating out after hearing this but hoping someone would respond to this and tell us if it’s true or not !

I did open jeep safari with my parents and it was the most thrilling experience of our life. Driver and guide (Jignesh) were great. They wanted to make sure we see lions and we did. We saw 2 lions, 2 lionesses and 2 cubs. Gir jungle is beautiful and house other animals like deer, wild boar, peacock etc. The authorities are very well taking care of the area. A must visit for anyone who wants to seek jungle adventure.

This is a good place to visit. But they send so many number of vehicles that there are very less chances of lion visit. Also I would recommend to take safari of early morning to increase chances of spotting lion

Must visit place. Gypsy Jungle Safari is another level experience. 40km safari and 3hours in total. 1 Gypsy can accommodate upto 6 people not more than that. Lion, leopard(rare) , lioness, cub, peacock, male deer with long horns can be frequently seen. We were fortunate enough to witness a leopard 😉

My recent visit to Gir National Park left me awestruck by the raw beauty and incredible wildlife that this sanctuary offers. As the last refuge of the Asiatic lions, Gir is a unique and captivating destination that promises an unforgettable wildlife experience.

Its A Good Place To Enjoy wildlife and to Feel The Presence of Asiatic Lion And Other animals. Gypsy Charges are Hidden . They Charge 3500 for Gypsy But Mention 2000 on Official Website, Guide charges Are Applicable 400 and Permit Of 6 member is 800 which Is Not Changeable And Fill The Details Correctly Other Wise They Will Not Allow anybody else To Enter . Keep Patience and Enjoy Dont Seek For Only Lion . but Only Enjoy . 80% chance that You Will find A lion or 20% chance if Your Bad Luck Is Bad.

I really enjoyed the trip. It was a bus safari. Truly mesmerizing memories and enjoyed a lot. One of the main attractions of Gir National Park is the Asiatic lions, which are found only in this region. These majestic creatures roam freely in the wild, giving visitors a rare opportunity to witness them in their natural habitat. Apart from lions, Gir forest is also home to a diverse range of wildlife, including leopards, hyenas, jackals, and deer. The birdlife in Gir is also impressive, with over 300 species of birds found in the forest. The beauty of Gir forest lies not just in its wildlife, but also in its conservation efforts. The forest is a testament to the success of conservation initiatives, as the population of Asiatic lions has steadily increased over the years. The forest is meticulously managed by the forest department to ensure the protection of its flora and fauna, making it a well-preserved natural habitat. Want to visit again😍

Natural place, maintained that way. People visit this place for Gir Jungle Safari. Gir Jungle Safari must be visited in 6 AM slot for maximum chance of spotting lions. We spotted 3 lions. Two young brothers included. Do Not Stop for washroom break, or you'll miss lions.

Our Gir forest is pride of Gujarat 💐 It's so wonderful place. The Asiatic lion 🦁 is also wold famous. Nature is too good. So many animals in Gir national park 🏞️. In the one word, Gir national park is so much wonderful ❤️

Had visited Gir national park recently, it is dedicated to national park for Asiatic Lions. You get to see Lions, deers, leopard(rarely) and many more animals. A jeep safari is recommended

One of the best wildlife sanctuary in India. Make sure that online booking is compulsory before visit. Best time slot to visit :- 6am to 9am & 4pm to 6pm

We did 5 safaris in the Gir National Park and 1 at Devaliya Park. Planned well in advance to avoid surprises / shocks. The National Park is not divided into zones (unlike some other Parks) but has routes (1 to 13). Routes may have repetitive patches. My wife and I love the jungle experience and we were not disappointed at all. We had 28 lion / lioness / cub sightings in total (in the 5 jungle safaris). These included multiple males / females and 6 cubs. We also sighted a leopard drinking water very close by. Sighted three different types of owls (Spotted, Brown Fish and Scops Owl) and 2 types of Eagles. Many other birds, spotted deer, sambar deer, neelgaay, etc. Try taking different routes (just show your previous safari slip to the official and she / he would be kind enough to allot a new route). Expect some repetition in the route but enjoy the jungle feel! We tried all three slots - 6 to 9, 9 to 12 and 4 to 7 and had sightings in all three. Fantastic guides and drivers. Heartening was to see the officials take care of the animals in the jungle. We have also been to Kanha and Bandhavgarh - trust me - Gir will not disappoint. In fact, the experience was way beyond our expectations!

Awesome place to be, prefer morning safari because there are more chances to see the Lion. Enjoyed a lot Nice place to be. Listen to your guide , if you want to see the lion because they know the best place where you can locate them.

Don't keep high expectations, they charge 1000 for permit which need to be booked online + 2400 for jeep, 1 jeep dedicated for each permit even if you are 1 person, We found only 1 lion in 2 hours safari, the kamleshwar dam is splendid, it was an amazing view from the watch tower, must visit place, book slot online 1 month in advance since there are limited slots, we had booked 2 safari, we had to cancel 1, I recommend only 1 safari, also try to avoid stay more then 1 day if you have other travel plans.

This national park is the only one which has Asiatic lions. I felt as if I was in Africa. The terrain too reminded me of Africa. The place is also awesome & worth it . This place also has lot of birds . This place would be a heaven for wildlife lovers. This can be one of the wishlist of those who are planning for visiting several national parks in India. Overall, I highly recommend this national park to be visited.

We were of the lucky ones to spot a lioness! One in 10 Safari spot it. When you go, make sure you have booked your slot in advance Jeep is easy to get but if you are more than 7 people, make sure to book it online so you all travel in same jeep.

Gir National Park, renowned for its Asiatic lions, offers a thrilling wildlife experience.

The park's commitment to conservation is evident, contributing to the preservation of endangered wildlife. While the accommodation options are limited, the overall experience in this natural haven is truly memorable for those seeking a unique safari adventure.

I am very very Happy and thrilled also lucky to see lion from such a close distance and its awestruck me and my friends which turned out to be marvellous experience and value for money also Note : I suggest to go there but depends upon your luck and lions mood to be visible

Visited the place 2 weeks back and it was just awesome. We had booked permits a month before from the official forest department gujrat website, and booked the safari Jeep and guide on the day before the safari. The overall experience was smooth. The safari itself was enjoyable. I do recommend doing multiple safari at different times as you will see many animals up and about based on the time of the day.

We had visited this palace just outside cause renovation work in progress , were not allowed to enter,but There were some people at the door of the palace, they said that if you give 200/, then you can go inside.I told them that when the renovation work is going on, the government has asked to keep it temporarily closed, then why are you letting them go inside by giving 200 rupees,But they didn't give any clear answer But they started burgeoning,we didn't like his nature, so we didn't go inside and came back after seeing from outside. But from outside the palace was looking very nice,you can definitely visit there

Beautiful palace. There isn't a lot to do here. The whole visit takes less than 10 mins. However, I would recommend visiting the palace as it is very pretty. Looking up the history online can be helpful during your visit.

What a great piece of art. Such an impressive makbara, I have never seen such a beautiful makbara in my life.

Just walking distance from Junagadh Railway Station.. Google Map will take you in right Direction, so you can rely on map. Very magnificent Palace.. One of the must visit place in Junagadh.. Renovation work is still going on. Though authority has allowed us to visit it for Twenty minutes..

Mahabat Maqbara Palace and it's adjoining mosque are masterpiece of architecture. The place is kept closed giving the reason of ongoing repairing work but the guard there opens it up on payment of money to him. One can see it from outside if don't want to pay. It is a must visit place in Junagadh.

The Reconstruction of this marvelous building is now completed and with its polished look it is looking like taj mahal complex, this is a simple presantation of love and peace from mohabbatkhan nawab of Junagadh, and creatice support by his brother un low Bahauddin Bhai. These mausoleums are known for amalgamation of Indo-Islamic styles (mainly Gujarat Sultanate and Mughal) with considerable European (Gothic) influence. These mausoleums have the carvings on its inner and outer façades and arches with yellowish light brown exterior. They have onion-shaped domes, French windows, sculptures, marble tracery work, marble columns, marble jalis and silver doorways. The minarets on four sides of one of these mausoleums has winding staircases around them.[3] The Jama Mosque is located nearby with similar architectural At a distance of 1 km from Junagadh Junction, Mahabat Maqbara is a mausoleum situated in Mullawada locality of Junagadh. Also called Mausoleum of Bahaduddinbhai Hasainbhai, it is one of the historical monuments in Gujarat and among the prime places to visit in Junagadh. Often considered as the most imposing architectural monument in Junagadh, Mahabat Maqbara was originally the residential palace of Babi Nawabs. The construction of the palace was started by Mahabat Khanji in 1878 CE and was completed by his successor Bahadur Kanji in 1892 CE. The palace complex is now houses the tombs of Mahabat Khan II, the 6th Nawab of Junagadh and Bahaduddinbhai Hasainbhai, the minister of Nawab Rasul Khanji. Both mausoleums at Mahabat Maqbara palace complex are the fine examples of art and architecture, typical of the late 19th century royal monuments of Junagadh. Mahabat Maqbara, the mausoleum of Mahabat Khan, is a fusion of Indo-Islamic, European and Gothic architecture and was built in 1982 CE by Bahadur Khan III for his father Mahabat Khan II. The most striking feature of the monuments is its floor-to-lintel French windows and the Gothic columns alongside silver inner doors. It also boasts of an intricate cluster of bulbous domes supported by columns built in Gothic style. Standing on the left of the Mahabat Maqbara is the elaborately designed Bahauddin Maqbara, the tomb of Wazir Bahaduddinbhai Hasainbhai. It was constructed by Sheikh Bahauddin with his own funds during the period 1891-1896 AD. A sight to behold, the Bahauddin Maqbara resembles the Taj Mahal in structural design, with its bubbled domes and four minarets on the four corners with whirling spiral staircase. The minarets have rich stone carvings and large silver doors. A cautious climb up the narrow stairs gives an awe-inspiring view of the domes and other vintage buildings in the neighbourhood. There are also a number of Haveli's inside the Maqbara which have some best wooden carvings and jharokhas which resemble the Gujarat domestic architecture. The Mahabat Maqbara is generally kept under lock and key, but can be glimpsed into by obtaining the keys from the mosque situated beside the mausoleum.

A good place to visit while you are in Junagadh. I believe its renovation was not done very well but it's still an old astonishing monument.

An intriguingly beautiful gem hidden away in a quaint sleepy town of Junagadh. A mix of intricate elements from European-Gothic-Indian architecture and the white and golden color makes it extremely attractive! Dedicated to Nawab Mahabat Khan II and a second monument adjacent to this, for his minister. A must visit with a hassle free entry ticket of just 20/- per adult. Pause and enjoy the stillness and beauty of the place!

Located near Junagadh railway station, very beautiful building and unique architecture, renovation work is going on and hopefully it will look more beautiful after the completion of the renovation. The most important spot to visit in Junagadh after girnar. It's worth your time if you are interested in heritage buildings and architecture.

The architecture is very beautiful, the surroundings are messy and dirty. The place is under renovation so unless you can talk the workers into letting you in, you will have to be content with views from outside. Once renovated and if the surroundings are clean, this place could be a good crowd puller. It is walking distance from the Junagadh bus stand and a stone's throw away from the railway station.

It is an architectural marvel. This should be in the list of must visit places in India. It's unique in its design. As renovation work is going on, entry was not permitted. We can view it from outside.

A fort and town was established at the foothills of Girnar hill during reign of the Maurya Empire. Abhira Chudasama King Graharipu Ahir (r. c.940-c.982) cleared the old structure from the jungle. and laid the foundations of the new citadel. Dewan of Junagadh State, Haridas Viharidas had restored the fort In 1893-94. Government of Gujarat initiated restoration of the fort and the structures inside it In July 2020. Structures - Jumma Masjid built by Mahmud Begada. The Tomb of Nuri Shah is close to the mosque. There are two Wells in the Uparkot — the Adi Kadi Vav is descended by a long flight of steps; and the Navghan Kuvo, cut to a great depth in the soft rock, and with a circular staircase. Uparkot Caves are 2nd-3rd century double storeyed Buddhist cave complex located in the Uparkot. Nawabi Lake is a square artificial lake.

The views over the city and east to Girnar Hill are superb, and within its walls, there is a magnificent former mosque, a set of millennia-old Buddhist caves and two fine step-wells. The fort has two fine step-wells both cut from solid rock. The best time to visit is between November and February.

Had a great time at the fort. Would highly recommend carrying water and staying hydrated at all times. One should also carry umbrellas and caps to protect against the sun. The fort also has some excellent guides. I would urge everyone to get a guide to learn some interesting stories of the fort.

History: Said to have been built in 319 BC, the fort was the architectural work of Chandragupta. But the fort changed many hands. Remnants of different rulers can be seen in some parts of the structure. For example, on the rampart above the gate is an inscription of Mandalika III, dated 1450. Another emblem is in the form of a 10 inch bore cannon of bell-metal - 17 feet long and 4 feet 8-inch round at the mouth. This gun was brought from Diu, where it was left by the Ottoman Turks when they were defeated in the Siege of Diu in the mid-16th century. Best time to visit: The best time to visit is between November and February.

About the location: This ancient fort is believed to have been built in 319 BC by the Mauryan emperor Chandragupta, though it has been extended many times. In places, the ramparts reach 20m high. It’s been besieged 16 times, and legend has it that the fort once withstood a 12-year siege. The views over the city and east to Girnar Hill are superb, and within its walls, there is a magnificent former mosque, a set of millennia-old Buddhist caves and two fine step-wells. The fort has two fine step-wells both cut from solid rock. The circular, 41m-deep Adi Kadi Vav was cut in the 15th century and named after two slave girls who used to fetch water from it. Navghan Kuvo, 52m deep and designed to help withstand sieges, is almost 1000 years old and its magnificent staircase spirals around the well shaft. Look for the centuries-old dovecotes.

Make me remember my old history lessons. This fort will make you wonder in a very interesting way. Great ancient place.

Very Impressive. Govt gave renovation work to a private contractor for ₹ 386 crores under ASI supervision. Beautifully renovated. Neat and clean. Entrance is Rs. 100/- per person and Rs 236/- for guide (optional). This goes to the private contractor managing the fort. Over and above you need to tip the guide.

Uparkot has historical importance, and is well maintained. It's wide spread,huge and majestic too.Guides are people friendly. E-washroom is a great concept that I liked here. E-vehicle is available here but was not functional when I went. Kids zone, gardens and greenery are worth seeing.

You can spend your all day at this place. It's show's you about the history of junagadh .

The history of junagadh. A more beautiful architectural work . One of the best place of photography lovers.

Its a 2300 year old fort and was constructed by the chudasama dynasty. It was closed for almost 4 years for restoration and has now been reopened. Electric vehicles are also available. Its situated right beside the girnar hills and has lots to offer. From chudasamas to mauryas to rajputs, many dynasties have ruled over this fort and have left their marks here. Even light soothing music is played at some parts. A good 4-5 hours are required to cover this fort. Also its very pictersque. Fantastic monument. Must visit.

Loved the history this fort has to offer . Need a good 3 hrs at least to explore the entire fort. The Buddha caves inside the fort is a must visit. Note entry is only allowed till 4 pm after which tickets are not given .So reach before 4pm to take an entry inside the fort.

It's a fort which used to accommodate whole town in it. Great place-- not to be missed. Very historical place. If you can go on foot it is definitely better but if you can not, there is an electrical car which takes you to the places in the fort. It takes around 2 hrs to move around and if you can spend little more time it should be better. It is restored recently but still more work has to be done.

This is a nice fort with wide place.. Avoid the hot sun as you have to walk a lot although there are golf carts available if one cannot walk.. or else take an umbrella sunscreen with you..There is a canteen inside with everything available from cold drinks icecreams to eatables with a token system

Well maintained. Water coolers at many locations inside. Great view of ⛰️ mountains. The lake here and water purifier system of old time are still amazing. Entry Ticket is 100 rupees for Indians. You can get bicycle inside for ride. Cycle track is also there.

Uparkot was really a must visit place before the government made huge commercial development inside the fort. Now it's less historical and more urban. You will have to pay separately for visiting the Baudhh Caves which are already there inside the fort, and for the fort itself there are entry fees of Rs.100/- per person. It is a great historical place, but the government has changed it to a commercial place by building Game Zones, Food Zones, Sports & Entertainment Zones inside the fort. They just vanished the original beauty of the historical fort. I am not recommending visiting Uparkot now.

Uperkot is oldest and very popular place of junagadh. Recently it is developed by Junagadh municipality, whole place is connected through nice walkways, electric car is also available, it starts with magnificent gate with nice carvings, palace, Adi kadi vav, Ra navghan kuvoand sarovars which are built by naval of junagadh. Gazabo, water fountains and beautiful landscaping enhances the place. It’s an excellent combination of history and modernisation. A must visit place. Best time to visit is winter.

Great place, after renovation the place is stunning. Best way to have a day of picnic and learn about history. Great place to bring children. Do get the e-vehicle and ride on it, as the place is too big and going on feet will be exhausting. Also going in a vehicle, will save a ton of time as well as energy to explore different places within the fort.

The place is completely redefined after renovation. Very directional and open. It is very clean and have speakers at certain distance. It was delightful experience. The ticket is 100 but worth the roam. And it'll take 2-3 hours if you fully explore every place. Read every monument and click lots of pictures

It's a really good place to visit if you are more of a history person. The fort is huge and takes around 3 hours to fully explore it. I have had a chance to visit it with my family but we didn't have much time to enjoy it thoroughly, though we managed to go through the main attractions in this fort and learned more about the history. The type of people there were, old weapons used by the king and the facilities provided in the fort to make people's lives easy. It was a very good and memorable experience! Take some time and explore this fort with your friends and family.
