Around us
Six remarkable destinations within easy reach of the resort — from the last stronghold of the Asiatic lion to Gujarat's highest peak.
Wildlife
The last remaining natural habitat of the Asiatic lion, Gir National Park is a UNESCO-recognised conservation success story. Spanning over 1,400 sq km of teak forest and rugged ravines, the park is home to lions, leopards, sambar deer, crocodiles, and over 300 bird species.
Nature
Built across the Hiran River, Kamleshwar Dam is a vital lifeline for Gir's ecosystem and a tranquil retreat for nature lovers. The reservoir attracts a variety of water birds, and its serene surroundings make it a favourite spot for birdwatching, photography, and peaceful afternoon visits.
Culture
Housed within the grand palace of the erstwhile Nawabs of Junagadh, the Durbar Hall Museum is a treasure trove of royal artefacts — ornate palanquins, howdahs, royal armour, manuscripts, and portraits. A must-visit for those who appreciate Gujarat's rich princely heritage and Mughal-era grandeur.
Heritage
Perched atop a natural plateau in Junagadh, Uparkot Fort dates back over 2,300 years to the Mauryan Empire. Its towering walls, ancient step wells, Buddhist caves, and centuries of layered history make it one of Gujarat's most significant archaeological sites.
Serenity
Nalsarovar is one of India's largest bird sanctuaries — a vast, shallow lake that becomes a winter playground for over 200 species of migratory birds including flamingos, pelicans, and spoonbills. Boat rides at sunrise through flocks of pink flamingos are nothing short of magical.
Spiritual
Rising to 1,117 metres, Girnar is the highest peak in Gujarat and a place of deep spiritual significance for Hindus and Jains alike. The ascent of 9,999 steps leads to a cluster of ancient temples at the summit. The ropeway offers a scenic alternative for those preferring the aerial route.
