Restless 28 hour road trip to Junagadh and Gir Forest
On a forced rest day in Rajkot I joined two local journalists and friends on a 70 mile dawn to Junagadh trip by a cramped Fiat. We saw a mosque, princely palaces, and a hill fortress with a 10 mile tunnel, then endured a rough 40 mile dirt road to Gir Forest, with dust, bumps, and a lone tractor and camel in a village stop.
