Had a great time exploring Gir and the surrounding Kaithawadi region. Safaris, lion sightings, owls hidden in tree holes, unknown architectural gems, local food, spiritual darshan & dhamaal - the trip had it all.

One thing common in all Carpe Diem trips is the joy of shopping! It is not only the desire to buy souvenirs but also the pleasure of meeting craftsmen and purchasing directly from them. In our last trip to Gir we had an amazing time at a Patola weavers colony and speciality Bandhani shops.
