Networking question regarding destination IPs

I’m relatively new to networking and I’ve got a question regarding destination IP addresses. I was analysing some network traffic on a network and noticed some packets having a destination IP address that is the default gateway for that particular device. I was under the impression that the packets will be routed through a default gateway if the destination IP address is outside it’s local network but the destination IP does not change.

I’m wondering if anyone could give any examples of what would cause a packet to have the default gateway as the destination IP.
