Statue of Unity in March

March at Mandvi: 20–33°C, last comfortable month for the palace and dhow-building yards. Kutch coast warming — morning yard visits, afternoon palace shade.

March at Velavadar: 20–35°C, last comfortable month for blackbuck sightings in open grassland. Forest dept safaris running — dawn slots before the sun flattens the grass.

March at Sasan Gir: 20–36°C, forest dept safaris still running with solid lion sightings at waterholes. Peak dry-season tracking — afternoon slots are hot, go at dawn.

March at Nalsarovar: 20–34°C, migratory birds largely departed but resident flamingos and pelicans hold. Shoulder month — fewer boats on the wetland, dawn light still strong.

Getting warm but good sightings

March equinox — sun hits inner sanctum

March at Marine NP: 22–33°C, low-tide reef walks still workable with forest dept permits. Jamnagar coast warming fast — pre-dawn starts are non-negotiable.
