Nestled on the Girnar hills in Gujarat, Leo Resort spreads its buildings across an expansive 15,000 m² estate of verdant grounds. The region, also known as Sorath, is an inland landscape shaped by Jain and Hindu pilgrimages leading to nearby sacred peaks. The property caters to travellers seeking a comfortable base at the foot of the hills, away from urban bustle.

Why choose Leo Resort

Leo Resort answers a specific need: finding quality accommodation within immediate reach of Mount Girnar and Junagadh, two stops that remain underequipped with modern hotel infrastructure. The resort format with outdoor spaces suits travellers who extend their stay one or two nights after tackling Girnar's ascent (some 10,000 steps) or exploring Uparkot Caves.

The 15,000 m² grounds allow spacious circulation between buildings, with green areas rather rare in the region. The property serves as a logical base for exploring Gir National Park, sanctuary of Asia's last lions, located roughly two hours' drive south.

Atmosphere and setting

The resort sits within a wooded hill landscape rather than a city centre. The estate's orientation, opening onto the sacred reliefs of Girnar, imbues the place with a contemplative quality that contrasts sharply with Junagadh's bustling streets. The architecture remains functional, unpretentious, relying primarily on space and vegetation.

Rooms

Leo Resort offers three room categories, with possible views of the city, gardens, or pool depending on availability at the time of booking.

Luxury Room

The resort's entry-level category, suited to short stays. Luxury rooms provide the basic amenities expected in upper-mid-range Indian hospitality.

Super Deluxe Room

The intermediate category, offering more generous space and contemporary layout. Ideal for travellers staying several nights on site.

Suite

Suites feature multiple rooms with greater space and furnishings than a standard room. The right format for families or longer stays combining Girnar, Junagadh, and Gir National Park.

On-site services

• On-site dining with Indian cuisine (vegetarian Gujarati specialities predominate in the region)
• Outdoor spaces across the 15,000 m² grounds
• Reception and standard hotel services
• On-site parking

For precise details on facilities (pool, spa, meeting rooms), we recommend confirming with the property at the time of booking, as services may change.

Location

The resort sits on the Girnar hills, near Junagadh, a historic city in western Gujarat. The most convenient airport remains Rajkot, accessible in roughly 2 to 3 hours' drive. A rail link also connects Junagadh to Ahmedabad.
