Top 10 Things to do Good for Kids in Junagadh, Gujarat
Junagadh pronunciation (help·info) is the headquarters of Junagadh district in the Indian state of Gujarat. The city is the 7th largest in Gujarat, located at the foot of the Girnar hills, 355 km south west of state capital Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad. Literally translated, Junagadh means "Old Fort". An alternate etymology gives the name as coming from "Yonagadh", literally "City of the Yona (Greeks)," referring to the ancient inhabitants of the city under the Indo-Greek Kingdom. It is also known as "Sorath", the name of the earlier Princely State of Junagadh. After a brief struggle between India and Pakistan, Junagadh joined India on 9 November 1947. It was a part of Saurashtra state and later Bombay state. In 1960, after the Maha Gujarat movement, it became part of newly formed Gujarat state.

Definitely worth a visit when in Junagadh. Surrounded by beautiful landscaped gardens and facing Mount Girnar. Good for tourists but also for those who wish to learn about Indian Cultural, Architecture & Hinduism from the devotees/volunteers. You can refresh yourself at the Food Court within the Mandir grounds and absorb the tranquillity.

In a trip with family from Somnath to Dwaraka I saw this quiet beach about an hour or more from Somnath. It is right off the highway. It is a quiet uncluttered beach, which I saw at around 10.30 am. There hawkers with gaudily decorated camels who give a camel ride at around Rs.50 to Rs.100 per person. Walking along the beach is a worthy experience, even for a busy traveller who wants to rush to the next destination.

The Mahabat Maqbara is a mausoleum of the Nawabs of Junagadh who rule Junagadh between the 18th to 20th century. The building is free to enter and is an architectural wonder. The design is a magnificent fusion of Indian and European architecture, composed of elements from Indo-Islamic, Gothic Revival and a unique Junagadh style for the minars around the mausoleum. The latter are towers but with stairs on the outside and with pavilions on three levels. The floral decorative elements all over the mausoleum are outstanding, which the multi-domed roof of different sized domes are enchanting. The number one thing to see in Junagadh.
