 The brightly coloured women of Gujarat and, right, an Asiatic lion in the Gir forest  |
Gujarat is the land of the Mahatma, the birthplace of Ghandi, and the only place on Earth where you can see the Asiatic Lion - in the Gir Forest, one of the world’s best free-range game parks.
In this under-explored part of India, you’ll be well away from tourist throngs of the more popular states such as Rajasthan.
Stretching out into the Arabian Sea, like the open jaw of a lion, the Saurashtra peninsula and the Kutch desert mark Gujarat’s mid-western border.
Gujarat is well known as a progressive business state; however few are aware of its exquisite beaches, enchanting forests, enthralling wildlife and rich cultural heritage.
