Diwali travel: Guj's religious places draw record crowds

This Diwali vacation, a large number of travellers from across Gujarat chose to spend their holidays at the state's most popular religious destinations. Between October 30 and November 4, 2024, these sites experienced a significant surge in footfall. Many tourists opted for road travel, driven by high airfares and the limited availability of hotel rooms and luxury buses.

Record numbers at spiritual sites

Gujarat's top religious and cultural destinations reported a remarkable rise in visitors compared to last year.

Leading the pack was Dwarka, which hosted an impressive 5.39 lakh tourists, up from 4.18 lakh in 2023.

Ambaji in Banaskantha followed closely with 3.93 lakh visitors, an increase from 3.45 lakh last year.
