In Gujarat, summer is not a season—it’s an emotion wrapped in mangoes, laughter, and loud family plans.
When schools close down and the heat hits, Gujaratis gear up for some fun times. Suitcases come out, and group chats explode. From road trips to temple towns, beach holidays to mango afternoons, summer here never slows down or gets dull. Everybody plays along—dadi, cousins, chachis, and even that one uncle who always overpacks.
What makes it so special is how every moment is celebrated. It’s not travel, it’s togetherness. A drive is made into a caravan, and mango season is a feast. With music, mischief, and memories being made around every corner, Gujaratis make summers a holiday of family and enjoyment.
Family Road Trips—Where the Fun Begins
Ask any Gujju family, and they’ll tell you: summer means road-trip season. It starts with a group call and ends with five families in a convoy. There’s loud music, homemade theplas, and so on.
It’s never about the endpoint. Even the travel is a celebration—snacks at roadside dhabas, selfies at unknown temples, and endless jokes. Saputara, Gir, and Diu—they’re all just excuses to spend time together. And yes, the number of bags one takes along is always double the number needed.

Temple Tours—Spiritual with a Side of Snacks
Summer is the time when families reconnect with their spiritual roots. Trips to Somnath, Dwarka, and Ambaji are not necessarily about darshan. They’re about peace, good times with the family, and delicious food. Something is comforting about getting up early for pooja and ending the day with hot bhajiyas outside the temple gate.
Grandparents share tales from the scriptures, and the children listen carefully while munching on mangoes. There’s always someone in the group who insists on taking the ‘ghera wala darshan.’ The environment is serene, and the blessings are more genuine when bestowed upon family. These trips bring a kind of calm that lasts long after summer ends.

Saputara Escapes—Our Little Slice of Hill Heaven
Ask a Gujarati where they go to escape the heat, and they’ll say, “Saputara chaliye!” It is the state’s sole hill station and summer resort for families. Chilled breezes, greens, and lakefronts make the atmosphere just perfect. Children enjoy the ropeway, and seniors enjoy the serenity and chai. And yes, there is always Maggi at the sunset point.
Saputara’s Sunset Point is a place that every tourist must visit. Couples click pictures, kids play, and the elderly sit on benches and relax. Street vendors have bhutta, ice cream, and hot pakoras. It’s one of those places that is perfect for every age group. Gujaratis visit this place every year and never get tired of it.

Beach Holidays—Diu, Mandvi & More
Gujaratis adore their beaches in summer. Diu, Mandvi, and Tithal are summer spots. Families enjoy camel rides, seafood, and cool evenings. Some even take complete weekend outings to these shores. Kids make sand castles, and parents relax in bliss.
Beach time is social media time for most. Drone captures, sunset posts, and slow-motion walks dominate the feed. Street food vendors sell gathiya, ice gola, and soda. Nature, food, and laughter are at their peak. No passport required—just full fuel and time.

Summer Camps—Learning with Fun
For children, summer camps are the highlight of vacation. From robotics to painting and dance to drama, there’s no end to choices. Ahmedabad, Surat, and Baroda are setting an example with innovative camps. Parents and children adore it, and everyone picks up something new. It’s entertaining without screens.
Even small cities now organise skill-upgradation camps. Language learning, yoga, and cricket training are also in vogue. Children form new friendships, become confident, and stay active. It is just the right blend of discipline and fun. Gujarat summer camps are evolving each year.

Heritage & Weekend Getaways
All vacations don’t have to be distant. Heritage sites like Patan, Champaner, and Lothal provide closer getaways. History enthusiasts walk around stepwells, forts, and old temples. It’s quiet, informative, and rich in photography. Perfect for a one-day or two-day trip.
Luxury resorts also attract families who plan staycations. Madhubhan Resort or Boulevard9 are weekend getaways. Spa therapy, pools, and buffets add up to carefree holidays. Even an overnight stay feels like an escape from routine. Nearby home, but miles away from daily routine.
