Marine National Park is the indiaТs first national park which spread over an area of 458 sq. kms. in the Gulf of Kutch , it is situate at 30 km from Jamnagar . Here corals create fantasies in stone and are the master builders of the park. Their limestone fortresses - each one the work of a colony of countless tiny animals - come in an amazing variety of shapes and sizes.
The Lakhota Palace is a small palace that once belonged to the Maharaja of Nawanagar. Today it houses a small museum with displays from archaeological sites in the area. Located in the center of Old Jamnagar on an island in the middle of a lake, two old structures namely Lakhota Fort and Kotha Bastion are sure to captivate the visitors.
Bhujio Kotho is an distinct place among the tourists due to its height and circumference. It is believed that the monument was constructed for protection during the invasions. It has five floors and on the first floor there are guns placed in each direction. On the upper floor a tank is constructed to store water and on its peak a dancing peacock is placed.
The Bala Hanuman Temple is on the south eastern side of Ranmal Lake, and here, 24 hours a day since 1 August 1964, there's been continuous chanting of the invocation Shri Ram, Jai Ram, Jai Jai Ram'. This devotion has earned the temple a place in the Guinness Book of Records.
