Dear Sir,

One of the main highlights here is the fort walls surrounding the town and Uparkot in the west. Uparkot, an ancient citadel located on the higher level of the town, was a stronghold of Mauryan and Gupta Empires and is said to have survived 16 sieges in the last 1000 years. Inside the fort is a mosque, the Jami Masjid, built from a demolished Hindu temple.

 

The 2nd century Buddhist caves here are fine examples of rock cut architecture with ornamented pillars, carved entrances, water cisterns, chaitya halls, and monastic cells for meditation. The Khapara-Kodia caves located in the town are also worth visiting.

 

Other must-sees on the tourist list are the tomb of Nuri Shah and two old baolis or step wells called Adi-kadi Vav and Navghan Kuvo. So is the Durbar hall museum, which displays many royal artifacts.

 

The mausoleums of the Nawabs of Junagadh are also worth a visit. This group of ?maqbaras? represents the creative and eclectic phase of Nawabi architecture. They show case silver doors and intricate architecture, including minarets with spiral stairways.

 

Gir National Park is also a major attraction there.

Girnar Hills are also present there.

 

Enjoy!
