The Junagadh district administration has chalked out an action plan worth about Rs 20 crore to lure domestic and foreign tourists. The district has potential tourism prospects. It is essential that maximum number of tourists visit this district to see various tourist places and pilgrimages and get acquainted with the glorious historic and cultural heritage and the ‘asmita’ of these places. Junagadh district occupies a prime position due to its unbroken history. It is also well known for its Gir forest and Asiatic lions. The town has flourished since its existence as an independent princely state from Chandragupta Maurya's period to the British rule and after the country's independence. It is the birth place of renowned Gujarati saint-poet Narsinh Mehta. The city also has Girnar hills, where well-known Hindu and Jain temples are situated.
