Your Gujarat travel calendar: November 2026 to January 2027

Plan Kutch around the full-moon nights, keep the temple circuits for the quieter weeks, and book your cab early for Christmas, New Year and Uttarayan.

Month	What is on	Best routes
November 2026	Rann Utsav Tent City opens 1 November; Diwali week in early November; full moon 23–25 November	Dwarka–Somnath, Statue of Unity, Kutch around the full moon
December 2026	Peak season; full moon 22–24 December; heavy Christmas and New Year demand	Kutch, Diu beaches, Saurashtra grand circuit
January 2027	Uttarayan kite festival around 14 January; full moon 21–23 January	Kutch on full-moon nights, Statue of Unity, Diu

Rann Utsav runs from 1 November 2026 to 7 March 2027 (Travel Trade Journal), so Kutch stays open for the whole three-month window. Full-moon and dark-moon dates come from Outlook Traveller. Pack warm layers, because desert nights are cold.

Statue of Unity trip from Ahmedabad: 2 days, 1 night

The Statue of Unity at Kevadia is about 200 km from Ahmedabad, so a two-day trip of about 450 km lets you see the monument and the nearby attractions without rushing.

1. Day 1, Ahmedabad to Kevadia. Leave in the morning and drive about 200 km, roughly 4 hours. After check-in, visit the Valley of Flowers and the Sardar Sarovar Dam area, then stay for the Narmada Maha Aarti and the evening laser show. Overnight in Kevadia.

2. Day 2, Statue of Unity and back. Visit the Statue of Unity and its viewing gallery in the morning, then see the Sardar Patel Zoological Park (jungle safari) before driving back to Ahmedabad by evening.

Entry tickets are not part of the taxi rate. A 2026 guide lists Indian adult prices of ₹150 for entry and ₹380 with the viewing gallery, and reports the Statue closed on Mondays except national holidays, so confirm timings before you travel (Unity Tourism guide). A same-day return is possible but means about 8 hours on the road, so ask us for a day-trip quote if you prefer it.

Package rates (about 450 km, billed at the 250 km per day minimum, driver allowance for 1 night included, tolls and parking extra):

Vehicle	Seats	Package rate
Sedan	4	₹6,300
MUV	6–7	₹8,400
Tempo Traveller	12–14	₹14,600
Urbania	13–17	₹20,700

What the rates include, and tips for booking

Every package rate above covers the vehicle, fuel, driver and the driver's night allowance for the nights shown.

• Not included: tolls, parking, state or border taxes, hotels and meals, entry tickets, and GST where applicable.

• Book early: reserve 3 to 4 weeks ahead for 20 December to 2 January and for the Uttarayan week around 14 January. Rates for these dates may vary, so confirm when you book.

• Start early: Ahmedabad to Dwarka, Diu and Bhuj are 6 to 9 hour drives, so a 6 or 7 AM departure keeps your evenings free.

• Carry ID and warm clothes: every passenger needs a photo ID for the Dhordo permit, and desert nights in Kutch are cold.

• Match the vehicle to the group: a sedan for up to 4, an MUV for 6 to 7, a Tempo Traveller for 12 to 14 and an Urbania for 13 to 17.
