A Gujarat Tour from Mumbai can be designed as a short road-and-rail holiday or as a full week covering the western state. The important part is choosing the correct entry point instead of automatically starting every itinerary in Ahmedabad.
For Dwarka, Somnath and Gir, compare Ahmedabad, Rajkot and Jamnagar connections. For the Statue of Unity, Vadodara can be useful. Kutch should receive its own two- or three-night section.
