Jamnagar

Experiential journeys will make you a storyteller
About Jamnagar
Located in the Saurashtra region of Gujarat, Jamnagar is one of the most stunning places to visit in Gujarat. This commercially developed city offers several tourist attractions and entertainment options. The town is known primarily for the oil generation here by the Reliance industries. Moreover, its location to the south of the Gulf of Kutch also makes it a favorable tourist, commercial, and industrial destination.

If you are in Jamnagar, you must visit the world-famous Darbargadh palace. This palace is revered for its sophisticated architecture featuring both Rajputana and European styles of construction. Fretwork jail screens, ornamental mirrors, stone carvings, and wall paintings from the Rajput half, while Venetian Gothic arches lend the European feel to this palace. You may also visit the Lakhota fort situated right in the middle of the Lakhota lake on a small and quaint island.

This fort has now been converted into an intimate museum. To further explore the architectural beauty of the entire city, do not forget to visit the Willingdon Crescent and the Kotha Bastion. Both these places will steer you away from the traditional architectural styles seen in the rest of the state and take you to the medieval era of Europe. Visit Solarium to witness scientific wonder or Khijadiya Bird Sanctuary to travel closer to nature.

While in Jamnagar, do not forget to shop extensively for beads, jewelry, spices, and preserved eatables. You can also try activities like sunbathing or birdwatching on the Balachadi beach of Jamnagar, or just visit the temples for some quiet meditation. If you are traveling with children, do not forget to visit Sardar Patel Amusement park for some thrilling rides. 
A hot semi-arid climate prevails over Jamnagar, making October to February the preferable months to visit. You can comfortably roam the streets without feeling too hot or cold during these months.
