The beach boasts clean shores and clear waters, perfect for nature lovers seeking relaxation. It is renowned for its stunning views and crystal-clear water that allows visibility of the seabed. Madhavpur Ghed, a culturally significant village nearby, is believed to be where Lord Krishna married Rukmini according to folklore.
So far one of the best beach I have visited in Gujarat. Very neat and clean - less crowded as well. Visited during high tide so waves were dangerous, couldn’t go into the sea. Kids played nicely on the beach, clean sand. It’s still developing and not too many food options so would suggest you take water, Food along.

Madhavpur Beach: The Best Tourist Place to Visit! 🌊🏝️ If you’re looking for a perfect blend of natural beauty and serenity, Madhavpur Beach is an absolute gem. 💙✨ Located along the stunning coastline of Gujarat, this beach offers pristine golden sand, gentle waves, and an atmosphere that’s both peaceful and rejuvenating. One of the best parts of visiting Madhavpur Beach is its less-crowded vibe, making it ideal for families, solo travelers, and couples looking to spend quality time by the sea. 🌞🏖️ The beach is clean, safe, and lined with coconut trees, giving it a truly tropical feel. Apart from relaxing walks and picnics, the sunset views here are breathtaking — a picture-perfect moment you’ll cherish forever. 🌅📸 The beach is also steeped in mythological significance, as it’s believed to be the place where Lord Krishna married Rukmini. 🕉️🌺 I highly recommend adding Madhavpur Beach to your travel plans — it’s the best spot to unwind, soak in nature’s beauty, and connect with the cultural heritage of Gujarat. 🏖️✨🌼

Madhavpur beach is one of the craziest beach anyone would ever witness. Ocean waves here can sometimes be very scary, powerful and huge. Very beautiful place, a good break spot when you’re on the way to Somanath temple. BUT BE VERY CAREFUL ON THE SEA SHORE.

Madhavpur Beach, located on Gujarat’s Arabian Sea coast near Porbandar, is renowned for its clean sands, turquoise waters, and tranquil surroundings, with swaying coconut palms lining the shore. The beach holds mythological significance as the believed site of Lord Krishna’s marriage to Rukmini, and visitors can enjoy activities like camel rides, boating, and beach scootering, though swimming is generally discouraged due to strong tides. With its serene ambiance, natural beauty, and minimal commercialization, Madhavpur Beach offers a peaceful and picturesque getaway, especially between November and March for the safest experience

This beach is one of the most peaceful and well-maintained spots I’ve visited. The moment you step onto the sand, there’s a calming vibe that instantly makes you feel relaxed. The beach is clean and inviting, making it perfect for families, solo travelers, or couples looking to unwind. The sand is soft and well-kept, great for barefoot walks or just lying down and soaking up the sun. The water is clear and beautiful, with gentle waves that are ideal for swimming or simply splashing around near the shore. Whether you're looking to enjoy a morning walk along the coast or just sit back and watch the sunset, this beach offers a naturally calming atmosphere. There’s enough space to enjoy without feeling crowded. People around are generally respectful and keep the vibe quiet and pleasant. I noticed the beach was being maintained regularly, which really enhances the overall experience. There are basic facilities nearby like seating areas, clean public restrooms, and a few stalls selling refreshments like coconut water, tea, and snacks. Nothing feels over-commercialized, and that’s what keeps the charm of this place alive. The best part? You can just sit for hours doing nothing—and it still feels like time well spent. The combination of natural beauty, peaceful surroundings, and proper upkeep makes this beach a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back whenever I need a break from the busy city life.

The GIR LION safari Devariya was an unforgettable experience. The morning safari offered the best chance to spot the majestic Asiatic lions in their natural habitat. We were fortunate to see several prides lounging amidst the dry deciduous forests. Besides the lions, we also encountered other fascinating creatures like leopards, hyenas, deer, and even a playful fox. The dense vegetation and rugged terrain added to the thrill of the adventure. While the safari can be bumpy, the excitement of witnessing these magnificent animals in the wild makes it all worthwhile.

Not very great experience. Firstly, website to book tickets is quite confusing. What appears to be a official government site turned out to be an agent. Full payment was made online, however at the check in counter they were insisting for a partial payment. Only when the so called agent turned up everything got sorted. Counter service wasn't friendly and the guide wasn't very polite. Devalia Safari Park is a large fenced area where animals are kept. If you are lucky you could see lions. We were in the last morning slot so we only managed to see lions at a distance resting under the tree. To the best of my understanding there are 3 different safari parks in the Gir region. 1) Devalia 2) Gir 3) Ambardi If I have to visit again, I would give Devalia a miss and try the others.

Have gone to Devaliya park. Gir is closed during monsoon season. We started our journey from Junagadh and our auto driver took us through a nice village side road . Weather was good and cloudy. Map showed 1.5 hrs but road conditions are not good . It took us almost 2.5hrs . We had a online ticket done so didnt have to wait much in counter line. Though my ticket was for 4 to 4.30 i didnt have to wait and got seat at 3.15 wala bus. It was suppose to be a 30 mins ride in bus for which we paid 150 rs per person. For jeep u need to pay around 4k. We saw 4 lioness, peacock, leopard in captivity, black buck deer. It felt The trip ended as soon as it started . If u r taking the bus may be buy 2 to 3 slots over the day. The park has food area , super expensive souvenirs shops.

Gir Safari has it's own name in wild life safari. We my family i visited there, it was awesome. First, you don't need to book online tickets as it was available offline without any waiting period. Mode:-( Bus/Jeep) With my opinion Bus is much better than Jeep safari as AC is available in bus and cost in Bus per person was 190/- where Jeep safari price was 3,000/- approx. We choosed Bus. Because they ensured for 100% lion sighting and we saw. Food:- Food options are available inside it. Staff behaviour:- The driver assigned to us was a local of Sasan village. His behaviour was really good. We cooperated him and in return he allow us to watch more than the time limit. Really salute for good staff of Gujarat Tourism. Conclusion. Hard recommend place.

A sort of protected sanctuary where you will be guaranteed a lion or a leopard sighting along with other animals. Very well coordinated. Bus services are good. U will although miss the feeling of watching the big cat in proper Jungle. The facilities like souvenir shop and kids play area along with canteen are good.

Gir National Park

National park
Nature & Parks
Nature & Wildlife Areas
Nestled in the heart of Gujarat, Gir National Park is a breathtaking wildlife sanctuary that spans approximately 1,412 square kilometers. This park is famously known as the last bastion for the Asiatic lion, making it an essential destination for wildlife enthusiasts and conservationists alike. As you embark on a safari through this stunning landscape, you'll be greeted by early morning sunlight filtering through lush foliage while the sounds of nature surround you.
Visiting Gir National Park was an experience I’ll never forget. It’s the only place in the world where you can see Asiatic lions in the wild, and that in itself makes it incredibly special. The park is huge, with dry deciduous forests, grasslands, and water bodies that make it feel like a true wildlife kingdom. The safari is well organized. There are two main regions: the Devalia Safari Park (Interpretation Zone), which is the outer region, and the core/inner Gir forest area. Devalia is a shorter, budget-friendly option if you just want a quick chance to spot lions and other wildlife, while the core safari is longer and takes you deep inside the park for a real jungle experience. I’d suggest doing both if you have the time. The timings are usually early morning (around 6:00–9:00 am) and afternoon (around 3:00–6:00 pm), since that’s when animals are most active. Morning safaris are magical – the jungle looks fresh, the light is perfect, and chances of spotting lions are higher. Prices depend on the zone and vehicle type, but roughly expect ₹800–₹1000 for Devalia per person and ₹4500–₹6000 per jeep for the core area, excluding camera charges. It’s best to book online in advance as permits sell out quickly. During my visit, we were lucky to spot a lioness with her cubs, along with spotted deer, blue bulls, jackals, and lots of birds. The thrill of seeing a lion walking in its natural home is unmatched. Overall, Gir is a must-visit for any wildlife lover. It’s not just a safari, it’s witnessing nature in its raw, powerful form.

Our jungle safari was truly one of the best experiences of a lifetime! Nature was at its absolute best — lush greenery, fresh air, and the thrilling sounds of the wild made the whole journey magical. The guide and driver provided were extremely knowledgeable and experienced; they shared fascinating insights about the wildlife and made sure we didn’t miss any moment of excitement. The highlight of our trip was the lion spotting — it was breathtaking and left us completely amazed! Watching the king of the jungle in its natural habitat was an unforgettable sight. Overall, everything was perfectly organized, safe, and filled with adventure. Highly recommend this safari to anyone who loves nature and wildlife. 🌳🦁✨

🌅 1. Wonderful Wildlife Experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Gir Safari was an unforgettable experience! We were lucky enough to spot three Asiatic lions early in the morning along with deer, peacocks, and many birds. The forest has a raw beauty that makes you feel close to nature. The guide was well-informed and ensured we followed all safety and conservation rules. Definitely a must-visit for anyone who loves wildlife and peaceful natural surroundings. 🌿🦁 --- 🚙 2. Very Well-Managed Safari ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The safari at Gir National Park is extremely well-organized — from ticket booking to the actual forest ride. The entry gate and vehicle arrangements were smooth, and our driver made the experience comfortable. Morning safaris are highly recommended for better lion sightings and cooler weather. It’s an amazing way to experience India’s only home of the Asiatic Lion! 🌞🦁 --- 🌳 3. Peaceful Morning Amidst Nature ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Loved the early morning safari — the jungle atmosphere was calm, filled with the sound of birds and the rising sun over the forest. Even if you don’t spot a lion, the natural beauty and serenity make the visit worth it. Kudos to the forest department for maintaining the area so beautifully and ensuring eco-friendly practices. 🌿✨ --- 📸 4. Photographer’s Delight! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you love photography, Gir Safari is a paradise! The early light, dense forest, and animal activity make every moment picture-perfect. Spotted lions, sambar deer, blue bulls, and some rare birds — a perfect mix of thrill and tranquility. The staff was courteous and patient, allowing us enough time to capture some great shots! 📷🦁 --- 🦁 5. A Must-Do Experience in Gujarat ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Gir Safari is one of the best-managed wildlife experiences in India. The entire process — from online booking, entry formalities, to the safari ride — was seamless. Our guide shared great insights about the wildlife and Gir’s conservation efforts. Seeing the Majestic Asiatic Lion in its natural habitat was truly a goosebump moment! 💛🌳

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gir National Park is a truly majestic place and a must-visit for anyone who loves nature and wildlife. The moment you enter the forest, you feel the fresh air, the peace, and the thrill of knowing this is the only natural home of the Asiatic lion in the world. The landscape is stunning with thick forests, rivers, and open grasslands that make the safari feel like a real adventure. Even though we did not get to see the lion during our visit, the entire experience was still amazing. We saw plenty of deer, peacocks, monkeys, wild boars, and many beautiful birds. Watching these animals in their natural habitat makes you appreciate how well the forest is protected. The guides and staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, always explaining interesting facts about the wildlife and the history of Gir. I would strongly recommend taking the early morning safari. The forest looks magical during sunrise and the chances of spotting a lion are much higher. It is also less hot, so the animals move around more freely. We left with great memories and a strong desire to come back again, because seeing the King of the Jungle is still on our list! Gir National Park is a place that reminds you how important wildlife conservation is. Even if you are unlucky with sightings, the beauty of the nature itself makes the trip totally worth it. A solid 5 stars and definitely a destination everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime.

Park has online and offline bookings for two types of gypsy safaris (max. 6-8 people) - a 3hr safari in Gir Sasan and 1 hr in Gir interpretation (Devaliya). There is also a safari in bus booking for 190 per person where lots of people travel together. This bus booking tour is of half n hour. The park doesn't operate full day. Mainly the timings are 6 am -11 am and then 3 pm - 6 pm. Thus there are 3 3hr safaris daily and close to 7-8 1hr safaris. We chose the 1 hr safari in Gir interpretation and shared our ride with 3 others. We saw lions, cheetah, peacock, black buck, Nil gaay, eagle, random birds, mongoose, deers. The staff says the best time to visit is early morning or late evening and there are close to 820 lions and 1200 cheetahs in the whole forest! Overall it was a good trip. Hoping to someday do the 3hr safari :)

Had an amazing experience at Gir Forest Safari! The moment we entered, we were lucky enough to spot two majestic lions almost instantly — such a thrilling and unforgettable sight! 🦁 After that, we also saw a leopard, many deer, monkeys, and beautiful birds all around.

Overall, it was an incredible adventure close to nature — a must-visit for every wildlife lover! 🌿🚙✨

It has online and offline bookings for two types of gypsy safaris (max. 6-8 people) - a 3hr safari in Gir Sasan. The park timings are 6 am -11 am and 3 pm - 6 pm. So total 3 slot per day and each safari of 3hr daily. No plastic is allowed. No water bottles allowed. There is a place where ur guide can buy water bottles which need to be returned back. Once a lifetime opportunity.. Go in morning 6-9 and evening 3-6 which is best possible time to see lion.

The Great preserved national park of asiatic lion.lions found only in India and Africa.The forest is about 1000 square km It is spread in four district of Gujarat . There is no tiger there the guide told us that the territory of lion tiger never exist because both are king of the forest .There are so many leopards. the territory of one line is about 40 square kilometres. Last 20 years number of lions increase from 600 to about 1000. In one territory two liones never leave together. When we saw two lions together the guide told us that their brothers and their age was about 10 to 12 years. After hunting deer or nilgai (blue colour cow) and eating about 25 kg of meat lion never eat for one weak. Dera robot 1000 lion 92000 deer and about70,000 nilgai. The forest is Savannah type forest having very tall grasses which we saw first time. For jungle safari always book your slot online. The total charges for 6 person of one Gypsy was about 4700Rs. The Safari starts from devaliya Park. But for Gypsy you have to go to Sasan head office of forest Department which is about 11 km from devaliya Park. Very thrilling experience. Booking of buses is available available in Devaliya park. There are two Safari one is about 1 hour anadar is about 3 hours in open jeep. We found leopards ,lions, dear nilgai in 1 hour Safari. Many people we meet not found lion, leopards in three hr Safari also bad luck. .

Uparkot Fort

Mentioned on 
+28 other lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Uparkot Fort, a magnificent relic of history dating back to around 319 BC, stands as a testament to the architectural prowess of its time. Originally constructed by the Mauryan emperor Chandragupta, this fort has been expanded over centuries and features impressive ramparts that soar up to 20 meters high. It has withstood numerous sieges—legend even tells of a remarkable 12-year siege!
Very beautifully renovated. The famous place of Junagadh. A historically important place in the history of Junagadh. Newly renovated fort is now equipped with modern amenities like e scooter, e cart, etc. Renovated with Audio guide, many information boards, etc. Location is perfect for any visitor who can easily view panoramic view of Girnar and mountain range.
Aditya D — Google review
When I look at these ancient structures on the map — the palaces, houses, deep stepwells carved by hand into the mountains without any modern materials like cement — I am filled with awe. Our ancestors built such magnificent architecture with sheer intelligence, effort, and vision. The forts standing tall on hilltops, with their perfect security systems, showcase brilliant planning and craftsmanship. It’s a salute to that era, to the people who built such wonders. Their legacy is not just beautiful — it’s something today’s world should learn from. We must respect and preserve our rich culture and history, and carry its essence forward with pride."
Shailesh R — Google review
While Uparkot Fort is undeniably a significant historical landmark with a rich past, a visit here offers a mixed experience. The fort's sheer size and its impressive structures, such as the ancient Buddhist caves and the remarkable step-wells, are a testament to its long history. The breathtaking views from the top are a major highlight. However, despite recent renovations, some areas still show a lack of maintenance, and the overall experience could be improved with more detailed information boards and better directional signage. The entry fee might seem a bit high to some for a government-run monument, and the lack of proper parking for four-wheelers can be an inconvenience. It's a place that holds immense historical value, but visitors should manage their expectations regarding the facilities and upkeep.
Parth B — Google review
Uparkot Fort is truly a gem of Junagadh! The fort is full of history, with ancient walls, beautiful stepwells like Adi Kadi Vav and Navghan Kuvo, and old Buddhist caves that show the rich culture of the past. The view from the top is breathtaking and gives a great look over the whole city. The place is peaceful and perfect for anyone who loves history, architecture, and photography. It’s a great spot to explore with family or friends. Only suggestion — the management could improve cleanliness and provide more information boards about the monuments. But overall, it’s a must-visit attraction in Junagadh! If you want to go there to see the fort , start at 7 in the morning If you go there, take a car because there is a lot of walking here. The facilities there are good, there is a water machine everywhere, there is a toilet and bathroom, and if you have difficulty walking, you can go there safely.
Raj S — Google review
This historical site is a must-visit. The explanations at each point are informative. Allocate 2-3 hours to explore the entire fort. Note that outside food is not allowed, but there's an on-site restaurant, albeit with slightly higher rates. Visitors can opt for a cycle ride or EV car to navigate the points within the fort. Additionally, the Buddhist cave requires a separate ticket, which can only be purchased online. Overall, a good experience.
Manish J — Google review
A truly remarkable fort with over 2000 years of history. Uparkot was first built by Chandragupta Maurya around 319 BC and later ruled by the Chudasamas, Mughals and the Nawabs of Junagadh. The fort has witnessed many battles and long sieges, which shows its great strategic importance in Saurashtra’s history. Inside the fort, you can explore the ancient Adi Kadi Vav and Navghan Kuvo stepwells, both carved deep into solid rock, and the Buddhist caves dating back to the 2nd–3rd century. The huge old cannons on the walls and the Nawabi Pond with its waterworks also reflect the engineering brilliance of that era. What makes Uparkot special is not just the structures but the stories they hold. From the top of the fort, the panoramic view of Junagadh is stunning. It’s a perfect place for history lovers, explorers and anyone who enjoys heritage sites. A must visit that brings alive the glorious past of Junagadh.

Nestled in the heart of Junagadh, Gujarat, Sakkarbaug Zoological Park is a historical gem that has been captivating visitors since its inception in 1863. Originally established as a small menagerie for the Nawab of Junagadh, this sprawling 200-hectare wildlife sanctuary has evolved into one of the region's most cherished attractions.
We recently visited Junagadh Zoo, and it was a great experience. There is a golf cart facility available, so we toured the entire zoo in about half an hour and saw all the animals comfortably. If you want to visit the zoo quickly and comfortably, then taking a golf cart is a very convenient option. However, if you want to visit the zoo on foot, it will take you about one and a half hours, but the good thing is that most of the animals can be seen in one area. It is a different fun to visit Junagadh Zoo with children and family

I was impressed by the variety of animals at this zoo. Some exhibits seemed a little less maintained than others, but generally it was consistent. The lions and tigers are definitely the star attractions. The only thing that was fairly appalling was just how much more expensive it is for foreigners. I understand that tourists can pay more, but it was about an 8x-10x difference in price. AND they also charge if you happen to have a good camera, which I did, so I had to go back to the car to leave it there. 😒
Felipe L — Google review
The oldest zoo in India. Spread over 200 acres. Tickets cost quite less. 20 for adult and 10 for kids up to 12. Has a lot of animals & birds. Their stars are the Lion, Lioness and Tiger. They also have bison, zebras, deer, hyenas, hippos. Birds range from small parrots and parakeets to eagles, owls, to flamingos, ostriches and emus. For another 100 you can take a golf cart, but it's better to walk and see the animals at your speed. Golf cart just zips thru and back in 25 min, not worth the money. They have a small safari inside the zoo. It costs 100 separately. Some Lions, Tigers (esp white tiger), bears are moved there and not available to view in the zoo. The landscaping is really good, need to appreciate the effort. Warning: DO NOT ENTER THE TOILET. It is so bad that it's like it had never been been cleaned since inauguration. I was almost fainting when I got out. So much for the oldest zoo. They can make it chargeable or increase ticket cost by 5rs and clean it.
Sreeganesh ( — Google review
Multiple varieties of Animal species are present. The numbers are huge and very satisfying. However, the cleanliness and maintenance of the Zoo is not up to the mark. Especially the living conditions of the animals, it's really painful to watch them stay in very dirty cages which are not maintained from the inside.

Nature & Parks
Mountains
Nestled amidst lush greenery, Girnar is a revered mountain that serves as a significant pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Jains. This sacred destination boasts an impressive array of temples scattered throughout its forested slopes. The journey to the summit is not for the faint-hearted; it involves ascending approximately 10,000 stone steps, which can take around 5-6 hours to conquer.
Har har mahadev 🚩🚩🚩 This is one of the best trekking experiences I have mixed with a religious experience. Around 6 am in the morning , this temple is covered in fog and it feels something out of this world. Carry some energy powder and warm clothes. Warm up your body well and then start to climb. Also please help in keeping the place clean ❤️🚩

Girnar Hill, also known as Mount Girnar, is a prominent pilgrimage site and a beautiful mountain range in Gujarat, India, attracting both religious devotees and nature enthusiasts. It's known for its numerous temples, including Jain temples like the Neminath Temple, and Hindu shrines like the Dattatreya Temple. The hill offers a challenging climb of over 10,000 steps, but also features a ropeway for a more relaxed experience.
Lakhan ( — Google review
Best place for tourism. There are 10,000 steps for go up & 10,000 step for come to the base. If you are a hill and forest lover, you will love it. Because the greenery of the hill is next level. You can see thousands of trees, flowers and various plants from the hill. When reached to the top of the mountain, it feel like you are above the clouds. In some areas of the heels, It feels like you are between clouds. That was wonderful experience for me and I got precious memories of my life.

A journey to Girnar Hill is more than just a trek — it’s an experience. The winding paths, lush greenery, and panoramic views from the summit fill you with awe. Watching the clouds drift below you from the top is the best feeling. Perfect for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.

Breathtaking Experience – Must Visit! Girnar is truly a divine and adventurous destination. The climb is challenging but rewarding, with over 9999+ steps leading to ancient temples and breathtaking views. The atmosphere is peaceful, and the spiritual energy is strong throughout the journey. The path is well-maintained, and there are resting spots, food stalls, and drinking water along the way. Whether you're visiting for religious reasons or trekking, Girnar offers a unique and memorable experience. Highly recommend starting early morning to enjoy sunrise and avoid the heat!

This place has potential to be developed as a major tourist attraction for it’s historical significance and Gujarat tourism must make efforts to publicize it on their web site and also transport arrangements from Rajkot airport. It is so great to see the history of old Tibetan / Jain monks from 4th century making this place for meditation.

too long journey, to see just ruins of ancient heritage site very pity for the archaeological dept, govt of India and local people.. who are happy by not conserving, this very much important part of our rich history.. still its aura is amazing, nearby river and jungle is serene to feel the aura roads are good to reach till the gate, ample parking space, not maintained toilets are rusted n not cleaned. tickets or entry pass not needed, it's free. 15 to 20 minutes enough to see the site no food or water available in and around some lovebirds wandering around, as it is a lonely place..

10minutes from Khambhalida Temple these Buddhist caves are a hidden gem. This is a very small part of what could have been a bigger residence or meditation cave for Buddhist Monks in the ancient era. The cave is not open for exploration but this is a must visit if you are a history buff. Also, the natural environment makes a perfect opt for a photoshooot. The place is secluded and in the middle of a jungle, many locals can be spotted however avoid wandering off the trek one can easily gets lost in the Jungle.

It is a must visit and best place for kids to see different cultures around the world and that too under one roof. The Dolls Museum is one of it's kind with amazing dolls from around the world. A must visit place in Rajkot. The cultures of different countries are being reflected with the eye catchy doll setups. The place reflects different cultures from around 102+ country with 1600+ Dolls in museum. It's on 2nd and 3rd floor. There is a lift available. Monday is closed. The staff is also very well informed and they narrated us the complete story behind the set up of this museum. The main thing is no doll being purchased, but all dolls are being gifted by all rotary clubs around the world… The entry fee is Rs. 30 per person. There is extra Rs. 30 charge per camera if you want to take photographs. Cool place....

A unique museum!! It's a rare opportunity to see a Dolls museum, here in Rajkot. Good to visit with children. The museum is situated on 2&3 rd floors. The lift was not working when we reached there. We had to climb steps. It was built by an ex Rotary president of Rajkot for his daughter. He wrote mails to Rotary branches of the world and hence many international branches sent dolls representing their country and regions. It takes around 1 hour to see all the exhibits. The rooms are air conditioned. The tickets cost ₹30 per adult and ₹15 per child. It costs another ₹125 if you want to click photos. The dolls represent their country's costume and culture. Children can spend good time there. However make sure they have emptied their bladder before. Because the toilet here is a medieval era one, on the ground floor. I wish the Rotary club would pay attention and renovate the toilet as kids come to this place.

In one word it is simply A Magical Journey Through Cultures! The Rotary International Dolls Museum in Rajkot is a fascinating wonderland for children of all ages: Over 1,600 dolls from 102+ countries, each showcased in traditional attire and set up with miniature scenes that let kids explore global cultures at a glance. Recognized in the Limca Book of Records for its unique and expansive collection. The displays include everything from folk dance dolls (like Bhangra and Dandiya) to Barbie and Einstein figurines, string/glove puppets, and even a rare Rocking Zebra—only one of five in the world! The themed showcases are beautifully lit and educational, with info about the country, culture, music, and costumes for each doll. Friendly and helpful staff guide visitors through the exhibits and share the fascinating stories behind many dolls. Includes interactive spaces like a cinema hall showing documentaries and cultural films, a Foreign Language Learning Centre, and a souvenir shop with stickers, postcards, and miniature flags. The Rotary International Dolls Museum is a safe, clean, and well‑maintained spot with plenty of visual stimulation and educational value. It’s perfect for a fun and cultural outing with kids. Every visit feels like a mini‑world tour where curious children can learn about cultures around the globe through beautiful doll displays. Note: Highly recommended Mainly for Kids.

A total different experience. Must visit, just 30₹ pp entry fees. This museum is surely made due to low and attraction towards dolls by rotary club. Definitely not a commercial thought process. Much appreciate the concept. They have 2 floors of museum, soveniour shop inside and collection of 1800+ different dolls from approx. 108 countries. Totally different and unique experience. Worth visiting. Please note its closed on Monday.

It’s been great to see a father’s commitment to her daughter for building such a dolls museum because he wasn’t able to make her daughter saw museum in Delhi.

The place is majorly clean and toilet and water facility are available. Some options for Snacks icecreams etc are also available. One can find free Parking on main road outside.

Shree Ghela Somnath Mahadev Mandir is a less popular but historically significant temple in Gujarat. It holds the Shiva Linga that was brought here from Somnath during an attack by Ghori, with Minaldevi and Ghelo Vanoyo risking their lives to protect it. The temple is about 40 minutes away from Gadhada and offers food, stay facilities, and parking for devotees.
Which we know by the name of Mahadev, that is Bholiyanath, that is Ghela Somnath Mahadev, which is located in Jasdan taluka. This is the Shankar Bhagwan temple, which we know by the name of Ghela Somnath. On the circumambulation path of Ghela Somnath temple, the names of the twelve Jyotirlingas and information about them are given. When you enter the temple, a garden has also been made on its left side in the name of the martyred soldier.

I went to Sabarmati Riverfront early in the morning during my exam days, and it turned out to be a very relaxing experience. The place is calm, the sound of the river waves is very soothing, and the cool morning breeze makes it even better. Ahmedabad can be quite hot, so visiting this place in the morning felt really peaceful. There’s a metro station around 2 km away, so it’s also easy to reach. The main riverfront area is open 24/7, but if you want to visit the Atal Bridge or garden area, they open after 9 AM. There are trees all around, and you can even find bicycles nearby to ride, though they are a bit costly. Still, it’s a good experience, especially for visitors from outside the city. Overall, a great spot for a quiet walk or just to sit and relax in the fresh air.

The riverfront is very beautiful and it is very peaceful during non-peak hours. I visited during early morning hours and I saw people cycling and jogging on the promenade. The river was very calm and greenery was lush. The infrastructure developed by the government there is very well maintained. The walking space is huge and very picturesque. The long riverfront offers ample space to exercise, cycle, run and walk. The place is also clean and not littered by plastic. I also saw a river cleaning boat gathering trash that was thrown in river during early hours.

e Sabarmati Riverfront is a major urban revitalization project in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, that transformed a neglected riverfront into a public recreational space with parks, gardens, promenades, event venues, and improved infrastructure. The project, which began in 2005, created public riverfront land by channeling the river, enabling year-round water management, reducing pollution, and providing a space for recreation, public events, and improved traffic flow. It features a two-level promenade, cycling paths, and public seating, and has become a venue for events like the International Kite Festival.

Manek Chowk Rd, located in the heart of Old Ahmedabad, is a bustling market that offers a unique experience throughout the day. In the morning, it serves as a lively vegetable market with an array of colorful produce. As the day unfolds, it transforms into a vibrant jewelry market where visitors can explore exquisite treasures. By nightfall, the street comes alive with an enticing array of street food stalls offering delicious local cuisine.
An amazing experience! The 9898 Jamun shot and Ghughra sandwich are a must-try.

I visited Manek Chowk in Ahmedabad during a corporate trip. It’s near Jama Masjid and Delhi Gate and famous as a late-night food market open until 1 or 2 a.m. We went there because most of Ahmedabad closes by 8–9 p.m., unlike Delhi which stays lively late. Honestly, the experience was underwhelming. The area is crowded, but there are only 8–10 food carts, mostly selling the same items like bhaji pav, pulao, kaju pulao, small pizzas, and some South Indian snacks. Everything is served on plastic chairs and tables in open air, and hygiene seemed low. The only highlight for us was the jamun fruit shots they were really fresh and tasty. Overall, if you want a full dining experience, I wouldn’t recommend it. But if you just want to experience the local late-night food vibe in Ahmedabad, it’s worth a quick visit.

Rating: 1/5(As can't give zero stars) Tried Mysore Masala Dosa, Manchurian Noodles, and Cold Coco — would rate them 1/5, 1/5, and 3/5 respectively. The dosa was a disaster — dripping with oil, almost fried. Someone, a decade ago, probably decided to fuse sweet curd/lassi with masala dosa, and people just went along. It’s honestly the murder of authentic South Indian food. Sambhar was just average. The noodles tasted like ₹10 roadside fare — overly salty, with small-length noodles. The Manchurian was extremely dry, halved pieces resembling soy chunks. Every food outlet seemed to serve the same mediocre stuff, just under different names. And the crowd — chaotic, overcrowded, barely space to stand.Even Fish Market is less noisy then this place. Prices are also overhyped and unjustified for the quality offered. For a tourist, I’d strongly recommend skipping this so-called “iconic” Manek Chowk. Ahmedabad has better and cleaner places to enjoy local flavours.

Sabarmati Ashram

Ashram
Sights & Landmarks
Sabarmati Ashram, also known as Gandhi Ashram or Satyagraha Ashram, is a significant site of Hindu spirituality located in the Sabarmati suburb of Ahmedabad, Gujarat. It served as the residence for Mahatma Gandhi and his wife Kasturba Gandhi. The ashram is renowned for being the starting point of Gandhi's famous Dandi March.
I really don’t know whether to put a 4star or 1star, anyway, as a place known by one of the most influenced personality ever, providing 5 star. The place, you will feel like an old clean compound, where the great asabarmati pass by. I reached whe it was quiet calm, very less crowded, neat surroundings. But the government could do more. They can put a Khadi store there for outsiders, can have a stall of fresh juice, can have a ‘Goshaala’ where you get pure ghee.. government could do much more, but presently it is at outskirts of a big city with less development reached. Anyway worth of a single visit.

I recently visited Sabarmati Gandhi Ashram and it was a very peaceful and meaningful experience. The place has a calm atmosphere and you can actually feel the simplicity with which Mahatma Gandhi lived. The museum inside is well maintained and displays his personal belongings, letters, photographs and important moments from India’s freedom struggle. Walking around the ashram gives a sense of history and inspiration at the same time. The view of the Sabarmati River adds to the serenity of the place. It is not just a tourist spot, but a place that reminds us of Gandhiji’s values and way of life. Definitely worth visiting.

Gandhiji's Sabarmati Ashram, located on the banks of the Sabarmati River, is a must-visit for anyone interested in India's independence movement. This serene was Gandhi's home from 1917 to 1930, and it's where he planned the Dandi March. The ashram's museum showcases his life, with exhibits on his philosophy, letters, and personal belongings. The peaceful gardens and tranquil atmosphere make it a perfect spot for reflection. A visit here inspires and educates. This place was really helpful for the students and the people who are interested in the history of India. Inside the ashram there is art gallery of the independence movement. There is a small museum there which exhibits the different verities of charkas. The ashram was well maintained and clean.

I recently had the chance to visit Gandhi Ashram with my fellow Local Guides, and it was a truly memorable experience. The moment you step into the premises, there’s a deep sense of peace that surrounds you — it feels like stepping back in time to the era of Mahatma Gandhi. The museum is incredibly well-maintained, and walking through it while reading the display boards and admiring the oil paintings really gives you a glimpse into Bapu’s life, values, and struggles. Every corner of the Ashram carries a sense of calm and inspiration. It’s not just a historical place, but a space where you can reflect, learn, and feel connected to something much bigger than yourself. If you’re in Ahmedabad or anywhere nearby, this is a must-visit spot — not just for history lovers, but for anyone seeking a peaceful and meaningful experience.

Nestled on the banks of the Sabarmati River in Ahmedabad (with a wide access now created from the Sabarmati Riverfront project), the Sabarmati Ashram stands as a pillar of India’s freedom movement and the personal abode of Mahatma Gandhi from 1917 to 1930. Founded by Gandhi, the ashram served not only as his residence but as the nerve-centre of the Non-Violent Civil Disobedience Campaigns, including the 1930 Salt March. The simple, humble buildings and open spaces reflect Gandhi’s ideals of truth, simplicity, self-reliance and community life. A standout architectural element of the ashram is its museum complex – the Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya – designed by legendary architect Charles Correa and completed in 1963. Correa imbued the museum with a vernacular modernism: modular 6 m × 6 m units arranged around courtyards and water-bodies, brick piers, stone floors, tiled roofs and wooden louvre screens all deliberate to reflect ‘swadeshi’ materials and climatic responsiveness. The museum architecture draws inspiration from the layout of village houses in Gujarat’s Banni region and is designed for incremental growth, symbolic of a ‘living institution’. In recent years, the ashram has entered a major new phase: the central and Gujarat governments have rolled out a masterplan for a ₹1,200 crore redevelopment project that will expand the ashram precinct from the current 5 acres to around 55 acres, encompassing 36 existing buildings for conservation, restoration or redevelopment. The plan includes new visitor-orientated amenities such as an orientation centre, interactive workshops on charkha spinning, handmade paper, cotton weaving, a library and archives, and multilingual interpretive exhibits. Together, the ashram’s historic legacy, Correa’s architecture and the sweeping redevelopment project combine to make Sabarmati Ashram not just a preserved heritage site but an evolving memorial that aims to communicate Gandhi’s values to future generations in a holistic, immersive way.

This is my second visit after fifteen years. During my first visit I spent about three hours at the place going through each and every display. On the River front things were not so well organised. Now the place looks aged and lacks maintenance. The river front is now totally revamped and looks very inviting. Construction work for the new museum has started and may be, after couple of years it will again be a place to visit.

I recently visited Adalaj Ni Vav ( Adalaj Stepwell), and it was truly an unforgettable experience! This stepwell is an absolute marvel of architecture, with its intricate carvings, deep history, and serene atmosphere. It’s so much more than just a tourist spot—it’s a beautiful glimpse into Gujarat’s rich heritage. The architecture is mesmerizing, with detailed stonework and patterns that tell stories of ancient craftsmanship. The peaceful ambiance and cool, shaded corridors make it a perfect escape from the heat. The stepwell’s design is not only functional but also stunning, with layers that create an almost surreal vibe. I spent hours exploring and learning about its history - it’s amazing to think about how it was constructed so many centuries ago! Definitely a must-visit if you're in the Gandhinagar area. Whether you're a history buff or just someone who appreciates beautiful architecture, Adalaj Ni Vav is a place you can’t miss. Would love to return again soon!

A stunning slice of history! The architecture is absolutely mesmerising with intricate carvings and a peaceful vibe that transports you back in time. The site is clean and well maintained which makes the experience even more enjoyable. However, be prepared for crowds, especially during weekends or holidays—it’s clearly a popular spot for both tourists and locals. Despite that, it’s totally worth the visit for the beauty and heritage it offers. Tip: Go early in the morning for a quieter experience and better photos!

A very fine example of craftsmanship in stone and the art of building Step wells. Structure is well preserved and offers a glimpse of architectural mastery of the age. It is a five storied structure with intricate carvings adoring the walls and ceilings. At the ground level structure is protected by a thick boundary wall and there are steps in multiple directions to get into the well.

The Adalaj Stepwell (Rudabai Stepwell) is a magnificent five-story architectural marvel built in 1499, which holds the poignant history of Queen Rudabai who ensured its completion after her husband's death before tragically ending her own life. The well's intricate carvings, including detailed ornamentation and mythological scenes across its galleries, showcase exquisite craftsmanship and create a truly atmospheric subterranean space. Its stunning geometry and interplay of light and shadow make it a perfect, visually rich location for heritage photography.

Modhera Sun Temple

Mentioned on

Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
The Modhera Sun Temple, built in 1027 by Bhimdev of the Solanki dynasty, is a monumental Hindu temple known for its intricate sculptures and sacred reservoir. Similar to the famous Sun Temple at Konark, it was designed for the dawn sun to shine on the image of Surya during the equinox. The temple complex also features Surya Kund, a remarkable step-well with over 100 shrines.
The Modhera Sun Temple in Gujarat is an architectural masterpiece that transports you back to the grandeur of the 11th century. Built by King Bhima I of the Solanki dynasty, this temple is dedicated to Surya, the Sun God, and stands as a stunning example of India’s rich heritage and advanced craftsmanship. The moment you enter, the sight of the magnificent stepwell (Surya Kund) instantly captivates you. The symmetrical steps, intricately carved shrines, and reflections of the temple in the water create a truly divine atmosphere. As you move towards the main temple complex, the carvings on the walls come alive with stories from Hindu mythology—every sculpture has a tale to tell, depicting gods, celestial beings, and scenes from the Ramayana and Mahabharata. The temple’s design is ingeniously aligned with the solar movement—during equinoxes, the first rays of the sun illuminate the sanctum, symbolizing divine energy. Even though the idol no longer remains, the spiritual essence of the place is palpable. The Archaeological Survey of India has done an excellent job in maintaining the site. The lawns are well-kept, signage is clear, and the surroundings are peaceful. The nearby museum offers deeper insights into the temple’s history and Solanki architecture. Modhera is a must-visit for history buffs, architecture lovers, and anyone seeking serenity beyond the usual tourist circuits. Visit early in the morning or during sunset for the most enchanting views. Tip: Don’t miss the evening light and sound show—it beautifully brings the temple’s history to life.

My recent visit to the Modhera Sun Temple in Gujarat was nothing short of mesmerizing — a journey through time and artistry. Dedicated to Surya, the Sun God, this 11th-century masterpiece was built by King Bhima I of the Solanki dynasty and stands as a testament to India’s architectural brilliance. As I walked through the temple complex, the symmetry of the grand Surya Kund (stepwell), the intricate carvings on every pillar and wall, and the play of sunlight illuminating the sanctum left me in awe. The temple, aligned perfectly so that the first rays of the sun touch the idol of Surya during equinoxes, reflects the advanced astronomical understanding of that era. Even without the deity now, the spiritual energy of the place is palpable. Surrounded by serene landscapes and the gentle hum of history, Modhera Sun Temple is not just a monument — it’s a poetic fusion of science, devotion, and stone craftsmanship that every traveller should experience. Unfortunately, I could not wait for the late evening light-and-sound show as there was just too much time to wait, too much crowd and too much distance to cover back to Ahmedabad. Also, the weather was super hot! But the show, shot by a tourist is available on YouTube. It is one of the best shows at heritage sites. So, if you plan to visit Modhera, it will be beneficial to visit it around 5 pm giving you enough time to see the temple till the 7pm show. The Sarkari Archaeological Museum here is super sad though!

A truly mesmerizing and peaceful place to visit! The temple stands as a reminder of how advanced and artistic our ancestors were. The carvings are detailed, every pillar and wall tells a story — it’s hard to believe something built over 1,000 years ago can still look this stunning 🤯. The highlight here is the Surya Kund (stepwell) 💧— beautifully designed with hundreds of small shrines all around. The reflection of the temple in the water during sunrise or sunset looks magical 🌅. You can sit near the steps and just soak in the calmness; it feels timeless. The whole area is clean and well maintained 🌿, with greenery around and benches to rest. It’s quiet, peaceful, and perfect for photography 📸 or just a relaxing walk. 🚗 Parking is available nearby, and basic facilities like restrooms and drinking water are there, though could be improved a bit. ⭐ Overall, an amazing heritage site that makes you proud of Indian architecture and culture. A must-visit spot if you’re anywhere near Mehsana or Ahmedabad.

The Sun Temple at Modhera is truly one of Gujarat’s most breathtaking heritage sites. The stunning stepped tank and the incredibly detailed stone carvings create an atmosphere that feels like stepping into history. The architecture is precise, graceful, and filled with artistic stories that show the brilliance of ancient craftsmanship. The temple complex has a peaceful and calming vibe, with plenty of open space to walk around and admire its beauty from different angles. The sunlight beautifully highlights the carvings throughout the day, especially during early morning or late evening, making it a dream spot for photography and quiet reflection. Overall, the Sun Temple stands as a proud symbol of our culture and creativity. The area is well-maintained, staff members are polite, and the whole experience inspires curiosity and admiration for India’s rich past. A perfect place for history lovers, architecture enthusiasts, and anyone who enjoys serene and meaningful places!

After the Ranaki Vav in Patan, if you want to see another amazing piece of Solanki architecture, then the Modhera Sun Temple near Mehsana is a must-visit place. Built by King Bhimdev I in the 11th century, this temple is dedicated to Surya Narayana and you will be mesmerized by its carvings. ​✨ Temple Features: ​Stunning Architecture: The temple is divided into three main parts: the magnificent Surya Kund (Ramkund) with 108 deris, the 52-pillared Sabha Mandap and the main Sanctum. ​Historical Carvings: The exquisite carvings of Ramayana-Mahabharata episodes, gods and goddesses on the walls of this temple give it the glory of being the 'Khajuraho of Gujarat'. Nearby Attractions: The Modheshwari Mata Temple, located near the Sun Temple, is also worth a visit. Special Guide for Tourists: This temple is located in the inner part of Modhera village. Public transport may charge a higher fare to reach here. Kind Request: To avoid this hassle, tourists are requested to bring their own personal vehicle, so that the visit is easy and economically convenient. If you use public transport, then get the exact information about the correct fare from the locals before deciding on the fare. Conclusion: A wonderful blend of history, sculpture and religious faith is the Modhera Sun Temple. This is a place that showcases the beauty and culture of Gujarat.

A stunning 11th-century Sun Temple built during the reign of Bhima I of the Chaulukya dynasty. Located about 100 km from Ahmedabad (approx. 2-hour drive), it's a beautifully preserved heritage site. Timings: 7:00 AM - 6:00 PM Tickets: Available at the entrance (nominal fee, cash preferred). The Surya Kund, intricate carvings, and temple layout are mesmerizing-especially during rains when the golden sandstone shines brilliantly. Tip: Visit early morning or late afternoon for the best experience. Comfortable shoes and water recommended.

Another thing do not take guide, that's waste of money, what you need to do is when you are at temple just open your Wikipedia, it has each and every information. And the guides are also speaking work to work from there only.

A historic site. Well maintained and very clean. Though they need to maintain the washrooms a lot. I loved the step well it was so scenic. The architecture and the carvings were so beautifully breathtaking. Sun temple is located 2 hours from Ahmedabad and is well connected by road.

Spacious rooms, good food, and recreational activities. Some resorts are praised for their ambiance, such as a royal or village theme, and for providing a peaceful atmosphere for relaxation. Friendly staff, cleanliness, and overall good value for money.

I recently spent a wonderful day and night at Aalloa Resort, and it was a truly refreshing experience. The staff were cooperative, friendly, and very attentive, making our stay comfortable and pleasant. The rooms were neat, clean, and well-maintained, and the amenities provided were quite good. The food was fresh, tasty, and of good quality — we really enjoyed every meal. The resort offers some unique experiences like camel rides and cycling, which added to the fun. The location is beautifully set with a view of the Sabarmati River, surrounded by nature, birds, and peaceful scenery — an ideal spot to relax your mind away from the rush of city life. Suggestions for improvement: The mattresses could be softer for better comfort. The swimming pool can be made larger and perhaps include a music system to enhance the ambience. The road from the highway to the resort could be widened for smoother access. The home theatre wasn’t working, so it would be great if that could be fixed, please ensure that all services are available during the full season time. Overall, it’s a beautiful place worth visiting for anyone looking to spend quality time in peace and natural surroundings. I will definitely recommend this resort who needs relax and peace.I’d love to visit again! 🌿✨

Bliss Aqua World Resort

Water park
Water & Amusement Parks
Colorful water-based theme park with twisting slides, a lazy river & a splash pool for young kids.
Had an absolutely amazing time at Bliss Water Park! The rides were thrilling, the atmosphere was lively, and it was a perfect day out with friends and family. Everything was well-maintained, safe, and super fun. Great experience overall — highly recommend for anyone looking for a day full of excitement and memories!
Pratik R — Google review
I recently visited Bliss Water Park in Mehsana, and it was a day filled with both excitement and disappointment. The park itself is well-maintained and offers a good variety of rides. The wave pool is one of the major highlights — it’s clean, spacious, and gives you the real thrill of ocean waves. Another attraction that stood out was the Crazy River ride, which was total fun and perfect for families and friends looking for an exciting splash. However, my experience was ruined by the food. I had a meal from one of their food stalls, and it was a big letdown. The quality and hygiene seemed questionable. Unfortunately, just a few hours after eating, I started feeling uneasy and later suffered from food poisoning, which spoiled the rest of my trip and the following day as well. While the rides and water attractions are top-notch and worth the visit, the management seriously needs to improve the food quality and hygiene standards. I would recommend bringing your own food if possible or eating outside the park. Overall, Bliss Water Park is great for fun and adventure but fails when it comes to food safety.
Akash C — Google review
The park can easily house 2500 to 3000 people. We went there on a day which was a public holiday, but since there was long weekend, the number of people rhat arrived was less. It is a good water park with around 9-10 rides. Crazy river was one of the best rides. They have a separate children's area. Parking is free. We went there when there was an offer and got food inclusive at 900/-. 200/- was locker charge. 30/- was the charge of 1 photo(soft copy). It has around 9 to 10 big rides. You can easily do all of them without the express ticket. They allow it regular people and one express person. 8:1 ratio. So no real use of express ticket. Also in express ticket only a few Tower rides and crazy river is covered. Children will love the experience.
Pratik P — Google review
Had a fantastic time at the water park! The ticket price was totally worth it, especially with lunch included — the food was delicious, fresh, and way better than expected. What truly impressed me was their focus on safety and comfort. The security guards were actively monitoring the gents-only area, ensuring that families could enjoy the pool without any discomfort. There was a well-managed separation between the family zone and the gents’ section, all within the same pool, which made it comfortable and enjoyable for everyone. Highly recommend this place for a fun, safe, and well-organized day out with family! 🌊🍽️👍

Nice water activities but there are no lift to climb the high towers that makes you tired soon. Overall great water park in terms of safety, security and enjoyment. Too much rush on weekends so it’s better if u can visit on weekdays. Including food is also of good quality and great taste. We were unable to do all the rides due to rush and towers without lift to climb and timings of river is also very tough to catch, so if you wish to go through the river you need to plan accordingly and wait for some time.
Pawan K — Google review
Better experience than other waterpark, specially food is too good and free cool drinking water arrangements everywhere in water park. Best place to get best experience for rides and swimming. Credit goes to good management. Everything is best, one business idea is there of photography in wave pool. Few photographer take photos in camera and ask to take photos from studio which charged INR 30 per photos and it's mandatory to take all photos which is drawback with loosing one star, there should be option to choose photos from taken photos and pay for only choosen photos, everything else is best. 👌🏻

Bliss Aqua Waterpark is a great stop if you're heading towards Ahmedabad from Jodhpur it’s located around 10 km before Mehsana city, right off the highway. Just note that it’s on the opposite side, so you’ll need to take a U-turn about 200 meters ahead. The park has free parking, but the parking area is a bit far (around 200 meters from the entrance), so it’s better to drop your family at the gate first and then park the car. Entry opens at 10 AM. Tickets are available right at the main gate ₹899 for adults and ₹600 for kids below 4 feet. The best part? All tickets include coupons for a free unlimited lunch buffet. The food was decent we had puri, chana masala, rice, dal, and aamras. Just a heads-up, the dal is quite sweet (classic Gujarat style), but everything was fresh and filling. Now coming to the main attraction the rides. There are tons of options for both kids and adults. Many of the adult slides are designed for 2 people, a few for 3–4 people, and some are for solo riders. I’d definitely recommend visiting in a group of at least 2 to make the most of the multi-person slides. The slides are thrilling and on par with what you'd expect in big parks like Imagica. The wave pool is also quite good and adds to the fun.

Patan Patola Heritage is a museum run by the Salvi family, known for their expertise in double-ikat weaving since the 11th century. Visitors can witness the intricate process of Patola silk weaving and compare it with single-ikat textiles from around the world. The museum showcases a masterpiece elephant-motif sari and provides insights into the history of this craft and the family's journey from Maharashtra to Gujarat.
Visiting Patan Patola Heritage was a truly memorable experience. I had been wanting to visit for many years, and finally managed to make it this time. It was amazing to witness how beautifully they are preserving this ancient art form with such dedication and love. The team explained every detail patiently — from the weaving process to the cultural significance behind it. I left with deep admiration for their work, feeling grateful and proud to be from Gujarat, India. 🇮🇳

ஆங்கிலத்தில் எழுதுவதற்கு மன்னிக்கவும். Do Not Travel to Gujarat from March to July, the heat is very very very High. We were lucky enough to see this wonderful museum, in Patan, where they tell the history and how the world famous patola sari's are made. There is a small entrance fee, and they take you through each and every process of how the wonderful, famous and costly patola saris are made. Once you finish going around, one can understand how much effort goes into making one patola saree and how time consuming it is to make one patola saree. The only negative we found was the entire presentation is in Hindi and they didn't allow us to take any photographs inside.

Amit S — Google review
It’s like a small museum. Good to know history of Patan Patola sarees. The design of the saree is put on the threads, vertical and horizontal. As the saree is weaved the design emerges from the thread. Very laborious and time consuming. They also have a piece of malmal, famous fabric that used to be weaved earlier in India. Story that weavers hands were cut so that it cannot be made again. The saree of that can be folded in a matchbox.

### 🧵 Patola House, Patan (English, 70 words) Patola House in Patan is home to the ancient art of Double Ikat Patola weaving, practiced by the Salvi family for generations. Each silk saree takes months to create, with both warp and weft dyed before weaving, ensuring identical design on both sides. Renowned worldwide for its precision and beauty, Patola symbolizes Gujarat’s rich heritage, artistry, and timeless tradition of handloom excellence.

Known as one of the largest theme parks in Gujarat, it offers a unique blend of entertainment, adventure, and cultural experiences. The park is surrounded by lush greenery, making it a peaceful retreat from urban life. Tirupati Rushivan has a variety of attractions, including thrilling rides for kids and adults alike.

For those seeking adventure, there are options like ziplining, boating, and rope activities. These add a dash of excitement to the visit. Affordable entry tickets and activities. Suitable for all age groups. Clean and green environment. Ample parking space. Can get crowded on weekends and holidays. Tirupati Rushivan is a great choice for a day trip with family or friends. It combines fun, learning, and adventure, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re looking to relax in nature, enjoy thrilling rides, or explore cultural replicas, this theme park delivers a memorable experience. Some areas might require better maintenance. Would recommend visiting during weekdays for a more peaceful experience! One more suggestion, keep sufficient cash. They don’t accept online payment inside the park for activities. They just denied.

Tirupati Rushivan was, in one word, a ‘fine’ experience. It is definitely a good pick for children, offering a variety of activities to keep them entertained. However, the afternoon heat makes it quite difficult for them to play comfortably, as the scorching sun can be overwhelming. The rides, unfortunately, felt too basic for adults while at the same time appearing somewhat risky for children. A more balanced selection of attractions would greatly improve the experience, catering to both age groups in a safer and more engaging manner. One of the highlights, however, was the beautiful display of bougainvillaea. The vibrant, colourful flowers added a charming touch to the surroundings, making for a delightful visual treat. On the downside, the washroom facilities were absolutely dreadful. This is an area that certainly needs urgent improvement to enhance visitors' overall comfort.

Had an amazing time here! The place is packed with thrilling activities and fun for all ages. The adventure park had various activities (Go Karting, Dash Car, Mary Go Round, Roller Coaster, Frizbee, Garden Area etc which is perfect for anyone looking for a bit of adrenaline. The staff were friendly and made sure we felt safe and confident during every activity. The water park was just as fantastic. Donot expect it to be as big as other dedicated Water parks but a descent amount of rides that made it easy to spend the whole day here. Everything was clean and well-maintained, and there were plenty of shaded areas to relax when we needed a break. Food options were good — lots of variety and pretty reasonably priced for a park. The Food service was kind of less good but the food was actually good. Overall, an unforgettable experience. Will suggest visiting once ! Just keep in mind that this place is CASH ONLY. (They have option of online payment but only upto 50% of the cost)

Gabbar Hill, located near Ambaji Temple on the Rajasthan-Gujarat border, is a significant Hindu pilgrimage site. It is believed to be the original seat of Ambaji Mata, with a temple at its summit. The hill features 999 steps and a cable car for pilgrims to reach the temple. Visitors are advised to plan their visit during off-peak times for a more serene experience and to consider online booking for the rope-way facility to avoid long queues.
You can take a ropeway to the top or walk the stairs. The Ambaji Temple at the top is really peaceful, although it can get crowded. There is also an excellent view from here!

The pure energy and purity of divine experience. Suggest to visit in off-season and not in weekends as well. The place’s vibes are very positive and such an amazing experience to blessed of ma Ambe. If you do online booking you may avoid such a long queues as slot allotments are provided during online booking for rope-way facilities. Otherwise offline may affect you to await such long queue as the capacity is lower to reach at the Gabbar mountain. You can climb also. Jay Mataji.

Kumbhariya Jain Mandir, Ambaji is a serene complex with five ancient Jain temples and a modern touch. The main temple houses the idol of Lord Neminath Bhagwan and is surrounded by natural trees. The newly built Dharmshala offers clean and spacious rooms for rent at reasonable prices, while the Bhojanshala serves delicious and hygienic food. The entire staff is cooperative and well-mannered, ensuring a peaceful stay.
This is by far one of the best places I’ve stayed at. Our family loved the entire campus including the high cleanliness and scenic views.

The temple complex consists of five beautifully carved temples, each dedicated to a different Jain Tirthankara. The main temple is devoted to Lord Neminath (the 22nd Tirthankara). These temples are believed to be around 900–1000 years old, built during the Solanki era, and they still retain their original charm and intricate craftsmanship. The stone carvings inside and outside each temple are simply mesmerizing. Every wall, dome, and pillar is decorated with detailed sculptures of gods, goddesses, dancers, and floral designs that show the excellence of ancient artisans. The architecture resembles that of the famous Dilwara Temples of Mount Abu, but Kumbhariya has its own unique grace and tranquility. The temple complex is very well maintained — clean pathways, peaceful surroundings, and a pure spiritual atmosphere. It’s less crowded compared to Ambaji, which makes it an ideal place for devotees who want to meditate or spend some quiet time in prayer. The cool breeze and natural beauty around the area add to the divine feeling. There is a dharamshala (guesthouse) nearby for pilgrims and basic facilities like drinking water, restrooms, and shoe stands. Photography is usually allowed in the outer areas but restricted inside the sanctum, so it’s best to check before clicking pictures. Overall, Kumbhariya Jain Temple is not just a religious destination but also an architectural marvel that reflects the glorious heritage of ancient Gujarat. Whether you are spiritual, artistic, or just love peaceful places, this temple is absolutely worth visiting.

A place where you can live the history. The temples are magnificent. I visited this during evening time. The calmness, serenity and the dark yet so glorious idol of Lord Neminath magically transposed me to the era of 1100 -1200, the time when this temples were actually built.
