Tomb
Sights & Landmarks
Hoshang Shah’s Tomb is a significant part of the 6th-century fort complex in Mandu. The tomb features a marble dome, ornamental tiles, and arches.
Like Golgumbaz in Bijapur this tomb is for Hoshang Shah who was burried here with his wife. The place is well maintained. The attraction is the perfetly aligned three rows of pillars in the hall to the right side of the tomb. The geometrical symmetry is something spectacular. worth visiting once.

One of the Best Islamic architecture in India. I request to ASI team to protect it from chhapris.

Beutifully carved and well maintained. It's just behind jami masjid and only small steps are provided through jami masjid for this place. So I have to look carefully otherwise I may miss this place. It resembles tajmahal. Architecture is like mixed hindu and Persian type. There are many small tombs inside.
Jayeshbhoomi V — Google review
Hoshang Shah’s Tomb is mainly known as the inspiration for the Taj Mahal, but beyond that there isn’t much to see. We ended up spending more time at the registration counter filling out the form and making the payment than inside the monument itself, where we were the only visitors.
Krunal M — Google review
The tomb of Hoshang Shah in Mandu, built in the 15th century, is widely regarded as the earliest marble mausoleum in India. A notable landmark of Afghan architectural style, it later influenced the design of the Taj Mahal, with Emperor Shah Jahan reportedly sending his architects to examine its structure. The monument stands out for its gleaming white marble, impressive domes, and detailed ornamental work, showcasing a harmonious blend of Afghan and local Hindu architectural traditions.
Aditya G — Google review
A tomb which actually doesn't have any tomb. First structure made in marble, in India
Sandeep S — Google review
Hoshang Shah's tomb is situated in the middle of the courtyard of the majestic mausoleum, surrounded by square-shaped walls. One can enter the mausoleum from the entrance gate, (which is built on a square plan with a marble dome) in the middle of the northern wall. The tomb of Hoshang shah is a grand construction, having a square plan and a dome. It is built on a basement of remarkable width and height. The entire building including the dome is covered in marble, providing majestic atmosphere. It is interesting to note that the main entrance and stairs are situated in the south side, the other side of the entrance to the courtyard. In the four corners of the domed roof, there are constructions with battlements and small domes. They are above the basements, which are built along with a dome. There are plant decorations extending from the edge of the roof and the eaves. They are coloured in red and black, accenting the marble building. Hindu patterns can be observed in the decorations. Considering these and other patterns inside the tomb chamber, we can assume there was involvement of Hindu workmen from the neighbouring towns.

Jahaz Mahal

Mentioned on 
+55 other lists 
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Jahaz Mahal, also known as the Ship Palace, is a fascinating architectural wonder located in Mandu, India. Constructed during the 15th century under the rule of Sultan Ghiyas-ud-din Khilji, this palace is renowned for its unique design that gives it the appearance of a floating ship between two artificial lakes. The name "Jahaz Mahal" reflects this distinctive feature.
Built in the 15th century by Sultan Ghiyasuddin Khilji, this palace once housed thousands of royal women, and its layout reflects both privacy and elegance. The fusion of Afghan, Mughal, Hindu, and Mesopotamian styles is breathtaking—from domed chhatris and carved jalis to the intricate water systems that still whisper tales of sustainability and climate-conscious design. ✨ Highlights: - The lotus-shaped pools and stepwell-inspired bathing areas are stunning. - The sound and light show brings history alive—don’t miss it. - Best visited during the Mandu Festival or winter months (Oct–Mar) for a magical experience.

Mandav (Mandu), near Indore Mandav is a beautiful historical village near Indore, filled with monuments from the Raja-Maharaja and Mughal eras. The entire village is dotted with ancient structures, each carrying its own story and charm — you’ll find something interesting almost everywhere you walk. The highlight of Mandav is definitely the Jahaz Mahal, a magnificent palace surrounded by water, giving it the look of a floating ship. Inside, there’s a small museum displaying ancient stone idols of Hindu gods, Mughal artifacts, and even Chinese (Chini) ceramics — all beautifully preserved. The Jahaz Mahal area is especially stunning during the monsoon or winter seasons, when everything is lush green and the water bodies are full. The surroundings — dense forests, hills, and open landscapes — make it a place that’s hard to describe in words. Everyone experiences its beauty differently. There are also many other attractions like the Jama Masjid, tombs from the Mughal period, and several smaller historical spots scattered across the village. If you’re planning a visit, start early around 8–9 AM so you can comfortably explore the entire area by evening. It’s a perfect trip for history lovers, nature enthusiasts, and anyone who enjoys peaceful, scenic places. Do not forget to visit Sunset Point — it’s one of the most beautiful sights near Indore. surrounded by greenery, mountains, and forest. Watching the sun go down from there feels truly magical. However, remember to prioritize safety — keep a safe distance from the edges and avoid going into unsafe or restricted forest areas. The terrain can be tricky, so enjoy the view responsibly and make the most of the moment.

Nothing less than fascinating. The palace is in great condition, one can get transported back in time. The best part is superb maintenance of the monument - top notch cleanliness, manicured lawns, trimmed hedges, clean water bodies, beautiful trees, clean facilities. Reasonably priced good food is available in well maintained stalls outside the main gate. Parking is available.

Jahaj Mahal in Mandu is a very beautiful and well maintained site to visit over. Along with old forts and ponds...it has multiple locations to click lovely photos and frame. It is believed to be build for entertainment by the king to have good time in his haram. This is around 60 km from Indore in Mandu town. There are other monuments in town as well. It is maintained by ASI and have a fee of Rs 25 per person.

Such rich history and heritage. This place is underrated, a lot of great things in history come because of Mandu 1. Taj Mahal was inspired by tomb of Hoshang Shah here 2. This place boasts one of the best water management systems in historical buildings, it is literally amazing 3. Got to see steam bath set up from 14th-15th century 4. Has a Swing palace with three types of architecture in the same structure 5. Has a working fountain from that era (Imagine how that would have been done without pressure pumps)

Architectural Buildings
Hindola Mahal, also known as the Swing Palace, is an ancient palace located within the Mandu Fort in Madhya Pradesh. It is part of a royal palace complex that includes Jahaz Mahal, Taveli Mahal, and Nahar Jharokha. The construction of Hindola Mahal is believed to have taken place during the reigns of Hoshang Shah or Ghiyas-ud-din.
If you’re visiting Mandu, Hindola Mahal is a must-see! This historical marvel left me in awe with its stunning architecture and rich history. The unique, swing-like arches (which give the Mahal its name) are truly a sight to behold. It’s peaceful, well-maintained, and offers a glimpse into the grandeur of the past. Great spot for photography and to take in the beauty of Mandu. I highly recommend taking your time here, as the intricate details really deserve attention. A true gem in the heart of the city!

Hindola Mahal is one of the beautiful structure on the madav fort. It's a example for the people who study ancient structures and the people who like ancient structures. From inside it is so beautiful that i recently seen that some big banner bollywood movies like Jara hatke jara backe, who cast Sara ali khan & viky koushal have their song shooting here. Beautiful structure. Thanks 🙏
Raj R — Google review
The Hindola Mahal, or ‘Swinging Palace,’ is a striking architectural jewel within Mandu’s Royal Enclave, dating to the 15th-century Malwa Sultanate. Constructed perhaps under Hoshang Shah, it served as the kingdom's primary royal audience hall, or durbar. ​Its defining feature is the immense, theatrical incline of its buttress walls . Sloping at a dramatic 77-degree angle, these supports create the palace’s characteristic optical illusion of being in perpetual, gentle motion—a masterful feat of engineering. ​The Mahal exemplifies a bold, minimalist Indo-Islamic style, where stark visual impact outweighs excessive ornamentation. The simple T-shaped plan and towering ogee arches demonstrate an elegant fusion of Afghan structural strength and indigenous functional clarity. ​As the epicenter of power, the colossal hall witnessed countless royal ceremonies and major state assemblies. Its imposing structure clearly underscored the authority and prosperity of the Malwa rulers, who called their capital 'The City of Joy' (Shadibad). ​Today, this engineering marvel endures as a vital cultural artifact, narrating a story of medieval ingenuity and regional heritage. Its unique design and dramatic presence continue to inspire awe, securing its place as an indispensable Indian landmark.

It is a must visit. Light show is awesome. I don't think you can buy the ticket beforehand and even if you can, don't buy as there are chances that the show may get cancelled for various reasons.
Bharti M — Google review
Adjoining the famous Jahaj Mahal, Hindola Mahal forms Parrt of the heritage royal buildings complex in Mandu.This historical building has slanting outer walls at an angle of 77° and thus it presumably gives the look of a swing. Frankly I could not visualize it as a swing. That apart, the building looks beautiful. There are other buildings. The surrounding are very well maintained. Adjascent to Hindola Mahal, there are other smaller monuments worth seeing.
Arun G — Google review
Hindola Mahal – meaning Swing palace is so named due to its sloping side walls. The Hindola Mahal might have been constructed during the reign of Hushang Shah about 1425 C.E. but may date to the end of the 15th century during the reign of Ghiyas al-Din. It is one of a set buildings making up the royal palace complex at Mandu, which consists of the Jahaz Mahal, the Hindola Mahal, the Taveli Mahal, and the Nahar Jharokha. The Hindola Mahal may have been used as an audience chamber.The plan of the Hindola Mahal is a T-shape, though examination of the exterior walls leads to the conclusion that the crossbar was added later. The vertical mast of the plan consists of one main hall measuring 30 by 18 metres (98 by 59 feet) and 12 metres (39 feet) high. Its lateral walls are 3 metres (9.8 feet) thick and further reinforced by massive inclined buttresses that angle over 77 degrees. These highly inclined buttresses give the Hindola Mahal (Swinging Palace) its name. They also neutralize the outward force of five massive arches that once supported the large flat roof of the main hall. On each exterior of the long sides of the main hall are six recessed arches which hold doors in their lower sections and three slabs of open-work stone windows to let in air and light. A high wall holds battlements on the roof of the building.

The entire fort complex within the Jahaj Mahal of mandu is steeped in history, it's not only absolutely stunning but also such an experience. Hindola Mahal is undergoing certain upkeep work and that's great, but the place itself is very beautiful, the architecture is to die for and the light and sound show at night is also projected here, such a great experience.
Dr. G — Google review
Hindola Mahal is Artistic, Beautiful Unique Structure ! Hindola Mahal Built by Hushang Shah, probably around A.D. 1425 as a Durbar hall. The walls are inordinately thick and slope like those of a castle. The slope of over 77 degrees gives a swinging appearance to the building, hence the name. The plan is 'T' shaped. The upright stem being the main hall (which was built first), and the cross bar is a transverse portion added later. The structure was probably supposed to have the zenana place as another storey above the main hall, which would explain the bulk and strength of the walls.

Jal Mahal

Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled in the enchanting landscape of Mandu, Jal Mahal, also known as "The Water Palace," is a stunning testament to Mughal architecture. Constructed by Bahadur Shah Gujarati in 1534 A.D., this unique monument boasts intricate stone carvings and elegant arches that reflect the artistry of its time. The palace is beautifully situated between Kapoor and Munj Sagar Talab, resembling a majestic ship anchored amidst serene waters.
It's construction was done by Bahadur shah is also confirmed by the stone inscription found here on which his name can be clearly seen. Jal Mahal also known as "The Water Palace" was built by Bahadurshah Gujarati in 1534 A.D. Sultan Jahangir stayed here for 6 months during his visit to Mandu. It is situated around Munj Talao and to the south of Shahi Mahal. It encompasses a fountain, elegant arches and marvelous cuttings done on stones which is a good evidence of high end art. It is built using Roman, Afghani and Mughal arts.
Sumana B — Google review
It is among the most unique monuments of India. When you look at the palace, it looks like a beautifully painted picture on Mandav’s canvas. A palace like this cannot be seen anywhere else. Situated between Kapoor and Munj Sagar Talab,it seems like a grand ship anchored in deep seas. On a rainy day, the beauty and artistry here is its prime.This palace is believed to have been built under Ghiyasuddin Khilji in the 15th century for his 15,000 queens. The architecture is apparently inspired by Hindu style.

Jal mahal is the last monument in the Jahaj Mahal complex. You will need to walk all the way to the end to reach there. It is almost surrounded by the water body, may be that is why its named Jal Mahal. Thought it is not as impressive as the towering Jahaj Mahal, but its a fine piece of architecture.

Situated in Mandu, MP, this ruins of a historical building can be found in the same complex as Jahaz mahal.
Debaleena S — Google review
Jal mahal or the water villa/ palace is a short walk from the Jahaz Mahal. One could take the flight of stairs down from Jahaz and walk your way through to Jal mahal. The walkway is apparently run down and needs maintenance. We could see broken stairs, uneven surface and lack of signages to reach the mahal. As we were already exhausted, we did not venture into Jal mahal, but had a glimpse from atop the Jahaz mahal and it was fabulous. Your ticket to Jahaz mahal includes a visit to Jal mahal as well and the place is closed on Mondays.

Monsoon bliss at its best with gushing waterfall and trek by the river on the hill made my weekend amazing. The pathway is quite rocky and tough for beginners but the waterfall at the tops makes it worth the efforts. Don't miss out taking a dip in the pool of the waterfall. the rocks might be slippery due to algae so be very careful. Don't carry any plastic as its a plastic prohibited zone.

Ratanmahaal is really a very beautiful place. Best time to visit is monsoon.( August-Sept).The Sanctuary is open from around 8AM to 6PM. Waterfall is in the Jungle. You'll have to walk for 2-3km. You should wear good trekking shoes for the Jungle walk. You should Carry food and water with you (from home).No proper Shops nearby this area. Enjoy your trip.

Hathni Mata Temple

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Hindu temple
Nature & Parks
Waterfalls
Hathni Mata Temple is a serene and picturesque destination, especially during the monsoon season. It's an ideal spot for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts, offering a tranquil retreat from the fast-paced urban life. The temple of Lord Shiva nearby adds to the spiritual ambiance. While it may not be advisable to visit during the monsoon due to lack of waterfalls, visiting in other seasons offers a quiet and peaceful experience. The friendly locals add to the welcoming atmosphere.
Totally recommended place for hiking lovers. But never go there as a single person, always go with a group, or minimum 3 people. The reason for not going alone is, the place is very spooky, initially during the day I am very sure you would not feel it, but as the evening hours start you would feel it, and trust me when I say that. Also the rocks might hurt you when you go in the waterfall beside the temple, so always wear your footwear while going in the water. BRIEF OF THE TEMPLE: The temple stone is in the shape of an elephant, and therefore it is called hathni mata. Beside the holy stone is another stone in the shape of a turtle, all of it is made from a single stone. NOTE: The waterfall is not available for 12 months, only in the monsoon season you will be able to see the rushing flow of water and green land else it's just rocks and trees, good for mountaineers

During monsoon plan trip to start your journey back home by 2pm as narrow roads and soft land could cause issues for car getting stuck. 2 hrs is good enough time! Must go but with group

I think off monsoon season is not the beat choice to visit this place. I visited this place in feb 2021, there id no waterfall but he place was very quiet and peacefull. Also got the chance to see mataji very closely and to click a lot of pics. Local peoples are also very friendly and helpful. Our route was started from pavagarh , so the road was passing through a jungle , which scared my wife but i was having too much fun.We are planning ti visit again in monsoon season, then i will update you again.

Hii...Hathini Mata waterfall is not as good as shown in many pictures or videos yes you can see that views when there is heavy rainfall but worthy visiting place. One route is through the forest where you can see many signboard with pictures including hyena and cheeta..but overall place is just ok not as good as should be. This place has a temple known as hathini mata temple and is good place for religious people...Thank you very much🙂

It is a peaceful trail and a must visit place in early monsoon or winters. It is difficult to find any animals there but can be considered as a place of refreshing break. The lake at the centre and Hanuman temple are the main attractions here, apart from few birds that you can spot.

“I love trees. They are like us. Roots on the ground and head to the sky.” These are the words of the writer Erri de Luca. How could one fail to agree with him? Think about it: trees, besides allowing life, are also the perfect metaphor for it. The need for solidity, the desire for freedom and lightness, the will to grow and expand, and the momentum for new experiences, are the essence of the human being, which the plant world embodies extraordinarily. Perhaps, it is also for this reason that we have decided to celebrate the Earth’s green lungs. Love to nature Save nature Save tree Save our soul Save the nature

There wasn't too much of a thing to see. It's just 1 and half km path and a small lake where you can take pics . And if you are lucky , you could see wild animals . Else you can enjoy small tracking.

The Jami Masjid is a powerful reminder of Champaner's rich history. The multiple mihrabs, the beautifully carved domes, and the overall symmetry of the structure are truly impressive. The surrounding landscape adds to the serene atmosphere. It's a must-visit for anyone interested in architecture, history, or simply experiencing a beautiful and peaceful place.

Good architecture which has been conserved very well. Not so huge but worth to visit the place. It is historical and well constructed. Important to note is that it is the part of archeological park in Champaner, and thus if you buy a ticket at any of the locations of this park, it is valid at all other historical places.

Jami Masjid was constructed in 1513 by Sultan Mahmud Begada, it is center of attraction of Champaner Pavagadh UNESCO World Heritage Site. Jami Masjid is a stunning example of Indo-Islamic architecture, featuring intricate carvings, two towering minarets, and a blend of Hindu and Muslim design elements like jali screens and ornate pillars, serving as a key congregational mosque until Champaner’s decline due the Mughal conquest in 1535. Now a days it is one of the best-preserved structures in Champaner Pavagadh Archaeological Park.

This is a UNESCO World Heritage site located near Baroda. The place is well maintained and nice to visit with family. The place has a rich history from Champaner. The lawns surrounding the mosque are green and add to the ambience. This is a must visit place if you are visiting Champaner and Pavagarh.

We visited the Jami Masjid, which is part of the Champaner-Pavagadh archeological park. This Masjid is located about 5 kilometers from Pavagadh and it still has most of its structures intact. The Jami Masjid is unique because it is one of the few mosques in India where both men and women were allowed to pray. This was built in the 16th century and has elements of the Mughal, Hindu and Jain architecture. We also found a guide here who explained all the details of the architecture and the history of this Masjid, which was fascinating. This is a hidden gem located very close to both Pavagadh and Champaner and a must visit for history lovers.

Sights & Landmarks
UNESCO-listed remains of a 16th century Hindu city with fortresses, temples, mosques & palaces.
🏞️ UNESCO Heritage & Historical Significance Champaner–Pavagadh Archaeological Park is a vast 1,329-hectare landscape that preserves nearly two millennia of history—from Chalcolithic settlements to a 16th-century Sultanate capital. It's the only fully intact Islamic pre‑Mughal city in existence today. Pavagadh Hill, reaching about 800 m above the plains, served as an ancient Hindu fortress and today hosts the sacred Kalika Mata Temple, drawing pilgrims year-round. 🕌 Architecture & Key Monuments Jami Masjid (Jama Masjid) Built under Sultan Mahmud Begada (completed ~1513), this grand mosque is a prime example of Indo-Islamic architecture. Boasts two 30 m minarets, 172 pillars, seven mihrabs, multiple domes, and intricate carvings blending Hindu and Islamic motifs. Other Notable Mosques Saher ki Masjid (Bohrani) – Former royal mosque with elegant arches and garden setting. Kevada Mosque – Five domes and twin minarets with nature-inspired carvings. Nagina Mosque – ‘Jewel Mosque’ in white stone, exquisite geometric latticework. Lila Gumbaj Ki Masjid – Elevated platform with a fluted central dome. Pre-Medieval Heritage The Lakulisa Temple (10th–11th century) on Pavagadh Hill is one of the oldest, showcasing Nagara-style sculpture and Shaiva iconography. Jain temples (13th–14th century) dedicated to Suparshwanath, Chandraprabha, and Parshwanath also dot the hilltop complex. A total of 114 monuments are listed by the Baroda Heritage Trust, with 39 maintained by ASI. 🧗 Visiting Info & Experience Champaner town lies at the foot of Pavagadh and showcases remains of its short-lived 15th-century sultanate rule, fortified walls, palace ruins, stepwells, and water systems. Pavagadh Hill ascent is accessible via walking trails and a ropeway leading to the Kalika Mata Temple. The climb offers scenic views and ancient fort gates (Atak, Moti, Budhiya, etc.). Best time to visit: Early daylight hours or late afternoon; especially lively during Navratri when tens of thousands visit the hill shrine. ⭐ Why It Matters 1. Unique Historical Testimony – Offers both Hindu and early Sultanate heritage in astonishing original form. 2.

My visit to Pavagadh was truly an unforgettable experience — a perfect blend of spirituality, nature, and history. Rising majestically near Champaner, the hill offers breathtaking views and holds immense religious importance as the sacred abode of Maa Kalika, one of the 51 Shakti Peeths of India. The moment I stepped onto the path leading to the temple, I could feel a divine energy in the air, surrounded by chants and the sound of temple bells echoing through the hills. The journey itself is part of the joy. You can either trek up the ancient stone steps or take the ropeway (Udankhatola) that gives a spectacular aerial view of the lush green valley below. The ropeway is well-maintained, safe, and adds a sense of adventure to the pilgrimage. Once at the top, the view of the Kalika Mata Temple against the backdrop of clouds and cliffs is simply mesmerizing. The temple is beautifully preserved, and the devotees’ devotion adds to the spiritual aura of the place. Beyond its religious value, Pavagadh is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, forming part of the Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park. The ancient forts, Jain temples, and historic ruins scattered around make it a paradise for history lovers and photographers alike. Clean surroundings, improving facilities, and the welcoming nature of local people make the trip even more pleasant. Watching the sunset from the hilltop after offering prayers was the perfect end to my day — peaceful, powerful, and deeply satisfying. Overall, Pavagadh is not just a destination; it’s a divine journey that connects you with Gujarat’s rich culture, faith, and natural beauty. A must-visit for anyone seeking a mix of adventure, devotion, and serenity.

Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park is A UNESCO World Heritage. It is a unique blend of Hindu, Jain, and Islamic heritage, centered around the 8th-century city of Champaner and Pavagadh Hill. It was founded by Vanraj Chavda, and later ruled by Rajput Chauhans until 1484, when Sultan Mahmud Begada captured it, and renamed Muhammadabad. He built mosques, palaces, and water systems here. He made it capital of Gujarat until it's decline due to Mughal attack in 1536. This site was recognized in 2004 which features 114 monuments, including the Kalika Mata Temple, a major hindu pilgrimage center, the architecturally significant Jama Masjid, and innovative stepwells, showcasing a rare pre-Mughal Islamic city. Its cultural synthesis, historical significance, and intact landscape turn it into a vital archaeological and spiritual site, though it is partly unexcavated and less tourist-friendly due to limited infrastructure you should definitely visit if you want to explore somewhere less crowded.

This site is mainly having two parts: one is Jami masjid and another is Saher ki masjid. Both were built by mahmud begada in between 1484-1536. However later Humayun (Moughal Emperor) looted and invaded the place. One can visit the site to see old archeology and some photoshoots too.

A Hidden Gem Near Pavagadh – Champaner I recently visited Champaner near Pavagadh, Vadodara – and what an incredible experience it was! This place truly feels like a step back in time. It's peaceful, serene, and full of ancient charm. The craftsmanship of the old workers is nothing short of extraordinary. Every stone, pillar, and arch tells a story of skill and dedication. Walking through the site, we could feel the royal vibes – like stepping into the shoes of a prince wandering through his grand kingdom. The atmosphere is calm and filled with positive energy. It’s a perfect getaway for anyone who appreciates history, architecture, and tranquil surroundings. We left feeling refreshed, inspired, and deeply connected to the past. Highly recommended if you're anywhere near Vadodara!

Pavagadh Hills

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Mountain peak
Nature & Parks
Mountains
Pavagadh Hills is a rugged peak that may have been fortified in the 8th century. It boasts a circa-10th-century complex of Hindu temples, including the important Kalikamata Temple dedicated to Kali, the goddess of destruction. The summit offers stunning views and attracts throngs of pilgrims who can ascend via a two to three-hour trail or take a shuttle halfway up from along the Champaner citadel's south wall before catching a cable car.
Pavagadh Hills Shaktipeeth - Review Visiting Pavagadh Hills is truly a memorable experience for any spiritual traveler or adventure seeker. The journey combines spirituality, nature, and a touch of thrill with the ropeway ride. The ropeway facility is fairly good and earns a solid 4 out of 5. The cable cars are modern, safe, and offer a scenic ride over lush green forests and rocky hills. However, the waiting area at the ropeway station could be much better organized. During weekends or holidays, queues get long, and there’s hardly any proper waiting zone to relax while standing in line. So, patience is required! Important tip: Even if you take the ropeway, remember, you still have to climb around 500–600 steps to reach the main temple. So, come prepared with comfortable footwear and stay hydrated. But once you reach the top, the views are simply breathtaking. The panoramic sight of the surrounding hills and forests makes the entire climb worth it. And when you finally reach the sanctum for Mataji’s darshan, all your tiredness magically disappears. There’s an unexplainable peace and divine energy at the temple that refreshes you instantly. For food, the temple trust runs an Annakshatra dining hall near the temple, offering satvik Gujarati bhojan for just ₹20 per person. It’s simple, tasty, and feels heavenly after the tiring journey. If you have some extra time, you can visit Dudhiya Lake which is located near the temple. It’s a small, peaceful spot but frankly, it’s just okay compared to the stunning natural beauty you witness on the hills. Additional tips: • Ropeway tickets can be booked both online and offline, but if your plan is fixed, book online. Online booking allows direct access from the parking area, saving time and energy. • Parking charges for a car are ₹100 for the first 6 hours, which is reasonable given the facilities provided. ⸻ Pavagadh Shaktipeeth - A Brief History Pavagadh Hill is one of the 51 major Shaktipeethas across India and holds immense religious significance. According to mythology, it is believed that the right toe of Goddess Sati fell here, making it a sacred pilgrimage site for devotees of the Goddess. The temple atop the hill is known as the Mahakali Mata Temple, and it has been a revered spiritual center for centuries. The ancient architecture, combined with the raw energy of the place, reminds visitors of the temple’s timeless importance. It’s said that many kings and rulers of Gujarat and surrounding regions sought blessings here before major battles or important events. The blend of mythological importance, scenic beauty, and the challenging yet fulfilling journey to reach Mataji makes Pavagadh Shaktipeeth a must-visit destination.

The experience of seeing Mataji was very nice. There are about 2000 steps. If you don't want to climb the steps, there is also a ropeway. However, if it is a holiday, there is a long line for it. The rest is a very nice and religious place.

A prominent hill station and pilgrimage site, Pavagadh Hill Rises to about 800 meters, it is a part of the Aravalli Ranges and is known for the ancient Kalika Mata Temple one of the 51 sakhtipeethas at its summit, dedicated to Goddess Kali.

The area was once the capital of the Chauhan Rajputs and later ruled by the Solankis and Mughals.

You can reach the temple in two ways: 🚠 Cable Car Ride – Available for visitors, but tickets should be booked online at least one day in advance, especially during Navratri, as it gets very crowded. 🚶 On Foot – For those who enjoy trekking, you can also reach the temple by climbing on foot. 🚗 Reaching the Temple: On weekdays, you can drive your own vehicle directly up to the temple parking area. On weekends, private vehicles are not allowed beyond Pavagarh bus stop. You’ll need to take a bus from there to the temple base. It’s a blend of spiritual vibes and scenic beauty—perfect for a family outing! 🌸

Excellent experience - both spiritual and for the view. Current one has to climb about 300-400 steps to reach the temple despite taking the ropeway. But it appears that this ropeway is being extended to almost the top just near the temple and only a few steps will remain to be climbed. The darshan was easy, the view mesmerising and the experience elevating.

Ajwa garden is a nice breakout from the city with several rides to enjoy as well as being Instagram friendly. We went on a sunday and it wasnt much crowded ( may be because of monsoon). We paid rs 195 per ticket for entry that included 2 free rides. Waterpark and water rides were not included in that ticket. It was fun visiting the garden. There was electric cycle option that charged rs 100 for 10 mins and was good to get a roy d of the entire park. The food court is nice and cost reasonable. The rides stopped as soon as it started to rain. There were ample parking place at the entry.

Place is awesome to go with friends but there one thing I did feel good that there is low locker facility like out 1k people only 300 or 400 will get locker to store their luggage so that time we waited too much and feel awkward to wait too long and one more thing they allow only swimming suits so don't go with cotton or other material clothes

I’ve been to Essel World in Mumbai and a few other amusement parks, so personally, I didn’t find this one particularly impressive. That said, it’s still worth visiting once—especially if you’ve never been to an amusement park with rides before. It can be a decent experience for first-time visitors or families looking for something light and fun.

​I had a wonderful time at the Balasinor Dinosaur Fossil Park and Museum in Gujarat. It's a fantastic, highly informative place that's great for both kids and adults. Anyone who loves learning and discovering new things about dinosaurs should definitely visit. It's a must-see! My family and I really enjoyed our visit. We're very grateful to Gujarat Tourism and the Gujarat government for creating such a wonderful place.

I recently visited the Dinosaur Fossil Park and Museum in Rayoli as part of a bike riding trip with friends. The park is a great destination for school trips and families with kids. It offers a decent educational experience, showcasing the history of dinosaurs through projector displays and exhibits. There’s also a 5D theatre that aims to give an immersive experience of the dinosaur era. While it was an interesting addition, it didn’t quite meet expectations in terms of quality and excitement. One major downside was the way the actual dinosaur fossils were stored — they seemed to be kept in a rather neglected and poorly maintained area, which was disappointing considering the importance of the artifacts. Overall, it's a nice spot for a quick visit, especially for children and school groups, but there’s definitely room for improvement in terms of presentation and maintenance. I’d rate it around 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Recently visited the Dinosaur Fossil Park and Museum in Balasinor, about 2.5 hours' drive from Ahmedabad, and it was an eye-opening experience. It’s incredible to see the actual fossil remains and dinosaur bones from what was once one of the largest dinosaur nesting sites in the world. The museum is well-curated, informative, and offers a great glimpse into prehistoric India. A must-visit for history buffs, families, or anyone curious about the ancient world, it’s not just educational, it’s truly awe-inspiring! 🦕✨

Kids who love dinosaurs really enjoy this place. It has amusements and a good number of statutes for various dinosaurs. It ads knowledge for those who want to learn the history. 5D show and VR were also good ( could have been better), but good considering economy ticket prices.. good for one time visit and you can spend 1.5 to 2 hours here with kids and family..

We visited the Balasinor Dinosaur Fossil Park just 2 days back with family, and it was an amazing experience — especially for kids! Located in Raiyoli village near Balasinor, Gujarat, this place is famously known as the "Jurassic Park of India." It is recognized as one of the world's largest dinosaur hatcheries, where over 10,000 fossilized dinosaur eggs have been discovered. Even now, excavations often uncover new fossils and remains. The park has several sections showcasing the history of dinosaurs through 3D presentations, information kiosks, and well-curated displays. The 5D show and VR experience were the best part of the visit — thoroughly enjoyable for both kids and adults! There are also food stalls, ample parking space, and souvenir shops with dinosaur-themed products for children. Entry Fee: ₹70 per person. (Other fees are there like 5D,VR etc, overall 400 rs) Overall, it's a perfect one-day outing spot for families — educational, fun, and unique. If you're visiting Gujarat, this place is definitely worth adding to your itinerary!

Nice place for one time visit. It's one of the three fossil parks in the world. But not maintained at all. No value of this precious fossils in open area. Museum is also very well made but not maintained like that. Washrooms are not very much cleaned. 5d theatre and chairs also not maintained. Waste of money in 5d & VR tickets.

Visited on 16-08-2025. Adult tickets is only 70 rupee. They have only 2 or 3 VR set and most of the time on charging and waiting period is approx 2-3 hour for that, 3D film quality is very low. In 5D theater combination of screen and seat movement have miss connection have 1-2 second delay.Tthey should improve maintenance factor.Staff need training regrade the place. They have shop at exit point, shop is okay okay type. Good place for children not for adults hang out

Galteswar Shiva Temple, Dakor, Gujarat Beautiful ambience! The rocks on the river Mahi is really a place where one can enjoy the flowing waters. Located 16 km from Dakor town. It is a Shiva temple of the Solanki period. Situated on the sangam of the rivers Mahi and Galati where it is said lived Galav Muni Chandrahaas of Puranic fame. At present the lovely rocky bank of Mahi and the beautiful old Shiva temple on it has one spring of the River Galati, that constantly sprinkling water on the Shiva linga.

The walls have carved figures of Gods, gandharvas, humans, rishis, horse riders, elephant riders, chariots, doli and the events of the human life, that is from birth to death, all are depicted in these carvings. The temple is the Monument of National Importance and protected by the Archaeological Survey of India. The shikhara as well as the mandapa of the temple collapsed in 1908. The restoration of shikhara was completed by ASI in September 2021. The Galteshwar is a Hindu temple dedicated to Shiva, located at Sarnal village near Dakor in Kheda district, Gujarat, India. The 12th century temple is unique in its style and of its period because it is built in central Indian Malwa style, bhumija, without influence of Paramara architecture and with influence of Gujarati Chaulukya architecture. It has a square garbhagriha (shrine proper) as well as an octagonal mandapa (dancing hall). Two fairs are held at Galteshwar every year, on Janmashtami and on Sharad Purnima. The temple is visited by a large number of devotees on Mahashivaratri. There are a lot of eateries available near the temple. Changing rooms are also built for convenience of the devotees. ****

Galteshwar is very important in the historic tourism and religious places of Gujarat in the Thasra taluka of Kheda district. This religious place is located at the sangam (confluence) of the Mahisagar and the Galti river. This Galteshwar Mahadev, situated 10 to 12 km away from the famous Dakor’s Thakorji, has more than 25 lakh devotees and tourists visits in the year. Despite the indecisive attempts to complete the incomplete summit many times, this temple is now without the peak.

One of the ancient structure built 500 years ago, later renovated and upgraded in 18th and 19th century, the tower assumes significance in the history of Vadodara city. The clock tower, with clocks affixed in all the four directions, is situated in the centre of old walled city, with four entrance gates built in four directions. It is one of the historical marvel of engineering having survived for five centuries, representing the cultural development of the region. It is built in such a way that clock is visible from all the four gates built in four sides of the city. The tower also has a small temple at its base and also housed a police camp therein. Now the condition of structure is dilapidated requiring immediate renovation and so has been vacated. The area around mandvi tower is highly populated and also is lined with shops resulting in regular traffic jams. Only experienced driver can drive through the city in evening time as also during holidays. There are numerous century old buildings. There are very less parking areas. Waiting time is shown only for traffic jams.

The temple is unique with main deity as Dakshineshwar Shiva in form of Shiv Murti (rather than linga). The temple is located within the premises maintained by Indian Army and hence entry is regulated where you need to carry an Identity Card (License, PAN, Aadhar or such). Needless to mention that being maintained by Army it is very clean and crowd is managed well.

Hence one of the groupember must submit Photo ID proof with number of person taking entry and vehicle details. After that they'll allow you to take your vehicle in. If you are riding 2 wheeler, helmet is cumpolsary for all travellers otherwise you need to park outside the entry point and go by walk. Temple timing: 5:30 am to 08:30 pm. Dress code: Modest clothing that covers the shoulders, chest, and knees.

The exhibits are well-curated and provide a fascinating glimpse into the region's rich history and culture. The museum's architecture itself is a work of art. A must-visit for history buffs and art enthusiasts.

Awesome Museum at very Reasonable Price of 100rs far better than Luskhmi Palace of Vadodra .One of the Biggest museum of India.Only Disappointing One Table Fan for public is also creating History by not getting Cleaned.

Amazing historic and prehistoric artifacts to see. A good place to visit and understand the history of mankind. Do not forget to see the skeleton of the whale in the basement. Must watch. Unfortunately, photos are not allowed inside.

Good Collection You need atleast an hour to see everything quickly. To have a detailed look reserve atleast 3 hrs. They should improve the basic toilet facilities. It's worst. Located inside the Sayaji bagh. Informative app is available which includes information of all the museum's of Baroda.

The development has happened in last ten 10 years to reduce the congestion in the road. However noting has changed much since it is opposite to RS, still traffic can't be managed. However infrastructure is better than old one. The bus station is very spacious with a large waiting area. Many small stalls & branded shop are available for shopping along with known food stalls. There are entertainment zones, shopping zones, exhibition zones, food zones available for passangers. The state owned public transport facilities provided by GSRTS. The parking area is good & well maintained.

Very nice Bus stand. Maintenance can be improved more but I will give it 5 stars as it is very well managed. Buses are running on time, very good sitting arrangement, lots of shops for eatries, washrooms are clean. However it could be made a world class station by making it more clean and organized.

Ravi P — Google review
I want to share a very positive experience we had yesterday, October 11th at the mall. My family and I visited Inorbit Mall Vadodara around 3 PM for shopping. When we got home, I realized my gold chain was missing. We were very worried and unsure if it had been lost or stolen. We first went back to Reliance Smartbazaar to check their CCTV. The store manager, staff, and security were helpful, but the video was not clear. We then approached the Inorbit Mall team. We spoke to Mr. Jaswant at the Ground Floor helpdesk. He quickly took the details of the chain and pendant and contacted the surveillance team right away. During the wait, Mr. Saleem Pathan from security stayed with us, explaining the process and assuring us that if any Inorbit team member found it, it would be safely returned. His support made a big difference. Within 15 minutes, we heard the wonderful news: the gold chain was found! The video surveillance confirmed that staff member Mohammad Zubair saw the chain during our entrance, picked it up immediately, and submitted it to the management. This incident is a true example of the excellent support from the Inorbit team and proves you have honest and trustworthy people like Mohammad Zubair, Jaswant, and Saleem Pathan. A big thank you to everyone who helped with the surveillance check and the quick process. Thank you, Inorbit team Vadodara! Roshni

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Tapovan Temple in Vadodara is a stunning place of worship that beautifully blends elements of north and south Indian design. The temple complex houses shrines dedicated to various gods and goddesses, including Karthik, Balaji, and the Nav-Graha (Nine planets). Surrounded by lush greenery and featuring a Gaushala for cows, the temple offers a serene atmosphere for visitors. The intricate carvings and vibrant paintings on the ceilings make for a unique architectural experience.
It was a very good experience. The surroundings of the temple are full of trees. There is also a park kind of area available inside the premises of temple which was used by children to play around. Anyone can go to this temple when they want to spend some alone time. Another great feature of this temple is its architecture. There are three kinds of temples the colourful style of south indian temple architecture is very beautiful.

Tapovan Temple is located on the Refinery Road. Go, visit and spend some peaceful time in the evening with your family members and loved ones. Enough parking space is available outside the mandir. You will get all idols whom we usually worship at our homes. Kids will love you roam and play in the garden area. Bring drinking water with you as the facility of water is not so okay. There are no shops outside the Temple.
