More on Junagadh

Politically volatile from the start Junagadh was ruled by a wide range of dynasties before it came under the rule of the Babi dynasty, who ruled the city with an iron hand until 1946 when the calls for independence from Great Britain were growing strong. Though Junagadh was largely Hindu-dominated, the ruler, Mohammad Mahabat Khanji was a staunch Muslim and acceded to Pakistan by 15th August 1947. However, a concerted effort, by a joint force of the Junagadh denizens, Indian government led by Home Minister Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and the Indian Army managed to liberate Junagadh from further imperialism and acceded it to the Union of India. Apart from being historically significant, Junagadh is also important for being the connecting spot for the famous Gir National Park, home to the rare breed of Asiatic Lions.
Junagadh might not have any lavish or fine dining restaurants but it does have quiet some options for some lip-smacking street food and good quality Indian and local Gujarati cuisine. Do try out the popular Gol-Gappe, Dahi Vada, Aloo Puri as well as delicacies of Punjabi and Chinese cuisine. Some Gujarati snacks and sweets that you might find here are Dhokla, Khandvi, Thepala, Ghevar, Basundi and probably a few more.

Day 1 - Reach Junagadh, preferably by noon, and take some rest. In the evening, you can take a stroll in the old markets of Junagadh, which are famous for their handicrafts. 
Day 2 - The next day should be earmarked for a visit to the charming Gir Reserve, which has an exquisite range of flora and fauna. Since the day might prove to be taxing in visiting the Gir National Reserve, you can avoid a visit anywhere.
Day 3 - The final day can start with a trek to the Girnar Hills, which is a famous hotspot in Junagadh. Not very far away from the same are Uperkot Fort and Ashoka Edicts, which add a touch of glorious Indian history to the city of Junagadh.
