Best Weekend Getaways from Ahmedabad for Group Trips

Ahmedabad’s location gives you access to some genuinely great short-trip destinations — hill stations, wildlife, heritage towns, and coastline — most within a 3–6 hour drive. If you’re planning a group weekend, here are the top picks and why a tempo traveller is the easiest way to get there.

1. Saputara (Approx. 4–4.5 hrs)

Gujarat’s only hill station, known for its cool climate, Sunset Point, Saputara Lake, and the Vansda National Park nearby. A solid pick for a two-day weekend when the plains are hot.

2. Mount Abu, Rajasthan (Approx. 4.5–5 hrs)

Just across the border, Mount Abu offers Nakki Lake, Dilwara Jain Temples, and cooler evenings. Popular with both family and college groups

3. Polo Forest (Approx. 3 hrs)

A quieter, closer option — dense forest, ancient temple ruins, and good for a day trip or a light overnight camping-style getaway.

4. Statue of Unity & Kevadia (Approx. 4 hrs)

 

Combines a landmark visit with nature — Jungle Safari, Valley of Flowers, and the dam viewpoint. Works well as a single intense day or a relaxed overnight.

5. Diu (Approx. 5.5–6 hrs)

For groups wanting a beach + heritage combo without leaving the region — Portuguese-era forts, quiet beaches, and relaxed alcohol laws unlike the rest of Gujarat.

6. Somnath & Dwarka (Approx. 5–6 hrs)

More of a pilgrimage-plus-coast combination — the Somnath Jyotirlinga, Dwarkadhish Temple, and coastal towns. Often combined into a single 2–3 day circuit.

Why Book a Tempo Traveller for These Trips

  • One vehicle, one group — no convoy coordination, no one getting separated in traffic
  • Comfortable for 3–6 hour drives — 2/1 push-back reclining seats matter over long distances
  • Cost-effective for groups — splits down to less per person than multiple cars or cabs
  • Luggage space — weekend bags for a group fit easily, unlike sedans

Planning Tip

For any of these routes, confirm your minimum daily km package and whether you need the vehicle to wait overnight (night halt charge applies) — this affects your final quote more than the per-km rate itself.
