Experiencing spirituality and adventures together is a rare phenomenon. T Trikon brings one such unique combination on our next tour to Somnath, Girnar and Gir National Park Trip.
The Somnath Temple, located on the western coast of Gujarat, is one of the twelve Jyotirlinga shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva. This sacred temple is renowned for its rich history, stunning architecture, and spiritual significance. It has been rebuilt multiple times over the centuries due to invasions and natural calamities, standing as a symbol of resilience and faith.
Famous for religious spots, Girnar Hills is located in the Junagadh district of Gujarat. The ancient temples at the Girnar Hills add religious and cultural importance to this land.
What makes Girnar Hills special?
The Girnar Hills are millions of years old. When you visit the hill, you will see rock-cut stairs, which were carved more than thousands of years ago. When you climb up the stairs, you will reach the peak and you will get a bird's eye view of Junagadh. You will experience India’s rich culture and heritage with every step you take on the Girnar Hills.
A place straight out of the Jungle Book, the Gir National Park is home to more than 38 species of mammals, 37 species of reptiles, and much more.
