A Hidden Gem in South Gujarat – Perfect for Nature Lovers!
Visited Wilson Hills recently with my family, and it was truly a refreshing experience. If you're looking for a peaceful hill station getaway in Gujarat, this place is a must-visit. Surrounded by lush greenery, cool climate, and scenic viewpoints, Wilson Hills offers everything you need to relax and connect with nature.
One of the best hills to visit at this time of the year! The roads challenge both amateur & pro riders equally. The journey is just breathtaking! Luscious greenery all around, cool breeze, if you’re lucky it may rain too.
Best time to visit would probably be early morning hill climb & descent as the sun sets.
Just a humble request to all, don’t spoil the natural beauty of the place by littering the area. Carry a bag with you in which you can put all the trash & dispose it off once you get down from the hill in a nearby dustbin.
Other than that, enjoy the trip & the ride!
Amazing place for people who love to travel in mountains😍. The views are so mesmerising enjoyed whole day there.
The roads leading here could definitely use some improvement, but apart from that, this place is wonderful. You can enjoy stunning sunrise and sunset views from the viewpoint. However, don’t expect too many attractions—there’s mainly a viewpoint and a small dome-shaped structure that’s perfect for photos. The drive to this spot is quite scenic and enjoyable, making the journey itself worth it.
Great place for monsoon time
Very scenic view from top,special in monsoon season
Most beautiful place in South Gujarat. A perfect place for nature lovers. Best time to visit in June to September and December to February. The morning and evening views are exceptionally beautiful.

Bom Jesus Church
Mentioned on
Church
Sights & Landmarks
Churches & Cathedrals
The Bom Jesus Church, completed in 1603, is a long-standing church with an intricately carved doorway and altarpiece. Despite some opinions that it may not be very interesting, the church still attracts pilgrims from around the world due to its captivating interiors and images of Baby Jesus. The murals, deliberately designed niche, biblical teachings on the wall, and wooden doors intensify the spiritual atmosphere for pilgrims seeking solace and inner peace.
Tucked inside the historic walls of Moti Daman Fort, Bom Jesus Church is a serene and soulful reminder of Daman’s rich Portuguese heritage. As soon as you step inside, you're greeted by a quiet, reverent atmosphere that feels frozen in time. The architecture is stunning in its simplicity—wooden altars, arched ceilings, and intricate carvings that reflect centuries of devotion.
What’s truly special is how well-preserved the church is, despite its age. It’s still very much active, and if you’re lucky enough to catch a service, the choir and acoustics create a deeply moving experience. The play of light through the windows adds to the spiritual ambience, especially in the late afternoon.
This isn’t just a place to admire architecture—it's a space to reflect, breathe, and feel connected to something larger. A must-visit for anyone exploring Moti Daman Fort, whether you’re religious, spiritual, or simply curious about history.

Bom Jesus Church is an absolute must-visit in Daman. This ancient basilica is a stunning example of Portuguese architecture and offers a deeply peaceful and spiritual atmosphere.
The complex is very clean and well-kept, making it a pleasant place to walk around and reflect.
The entry is free
Historical and architectural Cathedral of Bom Jesus, an artistry engineered by Portuguese. Located inside the Daman Fort gives you a feel of Portugal era. Big entrance with lofty ceilings draws attention of tourists. The best time to visit is during Christmas or between December month which give you a spiritual feeling of that era.
On a rainy Sunday, we visited the Bom Jesus Church in Daman with colleagues, and the experience turned out to be both enriching and memorable. The church is one of the oldest and most iconic structures in Daman, carrying deep historical and heritage value. Built during the Portuguese era, it reflects the grandeur of old-world architecture with its detailed woodwork, ornamental altars, and serene ambiance. Stepping inside instantly transported us back in time, offering a sense of peace and reverence.
Outside the church, the environment had its own unique charm. The colorful houses, narrow lanes, and graffiti art walls added a vibrant touch to the heritage setting. The rains made the atmosphere even more picturesque, and the cool breeze was refreshing. Being a Sunday, there was a good crowd of tourists, yet the place retained its calm and spiritual vibe.
One of the most enjoyable parts of the visit was tasting Mithi Lassi, being served by a friendly Sardarji just outside the church. For someone belonging to North India, it brought back nostalgic memories of home and added a personal warmth to the trip. The combination of history, culture, and local flavors made the visit special.
After exploring the church, we headed towards the nearby Daman Fort, another landmark showcasing the region’s colonial past. The fort’s imposing walls and sea views gave us a deeper appreciation of Daman’s strategic and historical significance.
On our way back, the day ended on a refreshing note with a chilled Mint Mojito, much needed after a humid and busy Sunday of sightseeing. The mix of heritage, natural beauty, good weather, and simple joys of food and drink made the entire outing truly memorable.
Bom Jesus Church in Daman offers a picturesque and retro experience as church itself is one of the oldest as well as iconic dates to Portuguese era, very well architected and have a retro look almost on entering you feel like going back in time. And of course don't miss the outside garden, the incredibly colorful houses, lanes, graffiti and the nearby fort make this place worth visiting.
Visited this place with my friends.
Daman's Church of Bom Jesus will transport you into a world of lavish grandeur and spiritual magnificence. Marvel at its exquisite Baroque facade adorned with eye-catching carvings, delicate paintings, majestic pillars, fragrant incense wafting through the air... and as soon as you step inside, you see shimmering gold leaf motifs and striking stained glass windows paying homage to god's splendour.
The blesses sacrament is very eye catching....Saturday there n 🙏 prayed. The alter is breathtakingly beautiful with its eyecatching carvings.
It was raining so we had to take out our footware before entering. There are no entry tickets.
Sufficient parking available
If your history and architecture lover and your in daman then, visit the bom Jesus Church, it's beautiful and also comes in package of visiting portuguese colony as well as it's all in one place
Church is beautiful(a holy place is always beautiful )..
The street in front of the church is worth having a look n if u lov taking photos/ videos , this colourful street surely is the place..

Devka Beach
Mentioned on
Beach
Outdoor Activities
Devka Beach is a picturesque shoreline with numerous food stalls, bars, and options for camel or horse-riding. Visitors can also find shops and hotels in the vicinity. However, it's important to note that the area is currently undergoing significant construction work as part of a smart city project - leading to high pollution levels and dust that may not be suitable for tourists. As such, it may be better to avoid visiting Devka Beach until construction work is completed by June 22nd.
One of the most beautiful place in daman.
Must visit during night n evening
..Devka Beach in Daman is truly one of the best beaches in India! With its wide shoreline, cool breeze, and stunning sea views, it's a perfect destination for families, couples, or anyone looking to unwind by the ocean. The beach is clean, well-maintained, and has recently become even more exciting with the addition of the new toy train attraction..
Dr. S — Google review
Although I didn't go near the water as I found the sand and water dirty n water muddy. The jogging path has been developed beautifully with broad clean roads n street lights. There are many restaurants along the corniche area . At the weekends, there are DJ playing music.
Enjoyed our time there.
Ample free parking area . The corniche area has been developed at least for a good 3 to 4 kilometers.
Families drive down and come in the evenings to enjoy the cool sea breeze.
During our recent trip to Daman, we spent some time at Devka Beach, one of the most well-known spots in the area. The experience was a mix of natural beauty, leisure, and relaxation, perfectly suited for a laid-back Sunday.
The beach stretches wide with its rocky shoreline and greyish sand, giving it a unique character compared to the more commercial beaches elsewhere. On the day we visited, the weather was cloudy and slightly humid, with the sound of waves hitting the rocks creating a calm and soothing atmosphere. The breeze made it an enjoyable walk along the promenade, and the views of the Arabian Sea were refreshing despite the overcast skies.
The beach area is lively, attracting a good number of tourists and locals alike. Families, groups of friends, and children added to the cheerful atmosphere. Along the stretch, there are small stalls offering quick snacks and beverages, making it easy to grab a bite while enjoying the view. The nearby Devka Amusement Park, though modest, adds a recreational element, especially for those visiting with children.
While the beach is not ideal for swimming due to its rocky terrain and strong currents, it makes up for it with its serene walks, open views, and vibrant ambiance. Watching the waves crash against the stones and feeling the sea breeze was a simple yet fulfilling experience.
In the evening, the place becomes even livelier with tourists flocking for the sunset view. Although the skies were cloudy during our visit, the atmosphere itself was enjoyable. Overall, Devka Beach is more about relaxation and soaking in the seaside charm rather than adventure. For those looking to unwind in Daman, it is certainly a spot worth visiting.
Good and developing beach in daman. Several food stalls and accessories shops are available near the beach. You can also seat in some restaurant and enjoy the food with the view.
Devka Beach – The beautiful beach of Daman, is one of the most popular beaches in Daman, known for its peaceful atmosphere and natural beauty. Situated on the shores of the Arabian Sea, this beach is a great place for tourists, where the cool sea breeze, soft sand and gently falling waves give peace to the mind.
The sunset view on this beach is especially amazing in the evening. The colors of the sky and the reflection of the sun falling on the sea surface give a unique feeling. There are many hotels, resorts, and food stalls available around Devka Beach, where you can enjoy local as well as various delicious dishes, parking facilities are good on Beas Road
Devka Beach is not only a place for relaxation, but also for spending time with the family, photography, and walking along the beach. Small games and entertainment facilities are also available for children. Many tourists enjoy the views while sitting on the beach and sipping coffee or coconut water.
If you visit Daman, definitely include Devka Beach in your travel list.
Devka Beach is located in Daman, a coastal town popular for weekend getaways from Gujarat and Maharashtra. I visited it during my short trip with my friends to relax by the sea and explore the local food stalls. If I were to summarise: Devka Beach is good for a relaxed seaside outing, especially around evening, for walks, sunset views. My overall Visit is very beautiful and good.
Me and my family recently visited Daman it's a beautiful place. But I was disappointed when I saw local women's are selling alcohol openly near the beach and even tourist are consuming alcohol openly. It's a tourist place what the government of Gujarat is doing. Please take some action.

One of the best resorts near Daman Beach! The rooms and bathrooms were exceptionally neat, clean, and spacious, providing a truly comfortable stay. Giving all 5 stars
The hospitality was top-notch, from the reception to the waitstaff, every team member was polite, courteous and professional.
The swimming pool was well-maintained and hygienic...
I had stayed here for 1 night. The rooms are great. Food is also great. The only problem I had was that I was charged for whisky glasses which I ordered in my room. The room service told me as I had brought my drinks from outside, they will charge for the glass.
Great staff! Very helpful, especially while we were travelling with a 2 year old. The rooms had everything I could ask for too.
Mirasol Resort, Daman is a very nice place for a family holiday.
It's a huge property with rooms, a huge hall and a dining area.
It's also a place for a destination wedding.
The property also has a swimming pool, lake, train and boating rides, water park and restaurant.
The people are friendly (with no artificial smiles).
The rooms are adequate with a clean bed. The bathroom and toilet are clean with necessary toiletries.
The food was tasty and authentic.
There is scope for improving WiFi facilities.
We stayed at Mirasol Resort last weekend, and it was a very bad experience for us. We had booked a stay for 3 days, and every day we faced issues with the room key — sometimes the key wouldn't work, and other times there were problems with the lock.
Even after paying ₹8000 per room per night, the hotel charges extra for basic things like an extra glass or ice cubes. The housekeeping service only cleans the room; they don't even replace the dental kits.
When we asked for a glass without charge, the staff spoke to us very rudely

We stayed for a night this weekend
Good location, well maintained property,
swimming pool is big enough to accomadate multiple groups

Morning breakfast was amazing with live music.

Staff very adamant ... On refilling empty bottles, they refused refill it through ro water ... Check in time is 2 pm &check out time is 10 am ... Which is so unfair, on requeston extending it till 12 noon, they refused to extend it till 12 ... In that also, they are arguing till 11 am ... Property is good, food is excellent with too many varieties ... But the staff is too arrogant

Gira Waterfalls
Mentioned on
Nature & Parks
Waterfalls
Gira Waterfalls is a stunning natural wonder located in Gujarat's hill station. This picturesque waterfall is most active during monsoon season, with a large flow of water that attracts visitors from all over. However, it is advisable to visit after monsoon season, preferably in October when the rain has subsided and the waterfall can be enjoyed fully. The area also boasts a shopping market where visitors can purchase unique local crafts and artifacts made of wood.
Gira Waterfalls is a gem in Dang region, dramatic during monsoons, serene post‑rain, and surrounded by verdant hills. It’s ideal for a nature getaway, family picnic, or photography trip. Just pack comfy shoes, timing awareness, and a mindset open to simple rural charm. Don’t forget your camera and maybe take home a handcrafted bamboo souvenir.

I visited Gira Dhodh Waterfall again in 2025 on a weekend with my family. The place is always beautiful, but this time the water flow was less compared to my visit in 2024, when it was truly majestic and full of force. Since I went on a weekend, the crowd was quite heavy, which is common at such popular spots.
The overall experience was still enjoyable. Around the waterfall area, there are many small stalls and shops selling souvenirs, handicrafts, and local gift items, which add to the charm of the visit.
There is also a restaurant and stay facility nearby. The food was fine, but the rooms were not very impressive – okay for a short stay but not something to expect high comfort from.
In short, Gira Dhodh is a nice place for a family outing or nature trip, especially during monsoon when the waterfall is at its best. If you want to enjoy it with fewer crowds, visiting on a weekday would be a better choice.
Giradodh Waterfall is a wonderful place to visit, especially during the monsoon season when nature is at its best 🌧️.
The experience begins right from the parking area — you have to leave your vehicle outside and walk inside to reach the waterfall.
This short walk through the greenery feels peaceful and refreshing, with the sound of birds and flowing water growing louder as you approach 🌿.
It’s a simple yet beautiful experience that lets you disconnect from the usual noise of city life and step into pure calmness surrounded by lush forest and fresh air.
When you finally reach the waterfall, the view is breathtaking 💦. The water gushes down powerfully, creating a cool mist all around, and the whole area looks alive with greenery and natural beauty 🌈. The atmosphere is quiet and soothing, perfect for nature lovers, photographers, or anyone looking for a peaceful escape. Parking outside and walking in actually makes the place cleaner and more preserved, which is a really good idea.
Giradodh Waterfall is truly worth visiting — a hidden gem that feels magical in the monsoon and leaves you refreshed every time.

Breathtaking view of the waterfall!Add it in your saputara itinerary for sure.
Very vast in width..you can park car and there will be some walking distance to the fall...in between there are many shops which sells bamboo handicrafts and other decorative items.
Beautiful Waterfall specially During Monsoon. You need to walk for 3 to 5 minutes from parking place to see this.
Looks sunning from a distance and panoramic view is awesome.
Approach road is narrow and Parking is a issue on crowded day. So take care of these situations during monsoon weekends.

Public beach

Tranquil shoreline on the Arabian Sea offering a concrete boardwalk & dark sand.
Tithal Beach is a clean and calm place with its unique black, shining sand and plenty of sea shells to collect. I visited this beach with my family last weekend, but unfortunately, I didn’t get much time to spend here as we had to head to another place.
The beach has good parking facilities, with a nominal charge of around ₹10-₹20. There’s also a small bazaar on the beach offering a variety of food options. A must-try is the star fruit served with spicy chaat masala—it’s a perfect balance of sweet and sour! You can also find boiled coconut and corn, which are great local snacks.
For children, there are vendors with small toy cars, and for those looking for more adventure, camel and horse rides are available.
One of the highlights of my visit was a massive sand drawing of Lord Shiva on the beach, which was truly impressive!
Overall, Tithal Beach is a great spot to relax and enjoy some local flavors. Would love to visit again with more time to explore!
Dinesh D — Google review
Very good, and clean beach. Sand is black and is very fine. Good to build sand castles. Very little undercurrent on the beach makes it very safe.
Place can be a bot better lit. Become too dark, as soon as sun is set. There can be better food and beverage options, other than small tea and snacks shops.
Tithal Beach offers the perfect setting to unwind and enjoy a peaceful evening. The soothing sound of the waves crashing against the shore creates a calming atmosphere, making it an ideal spot to relax and clear your mind. If you're a photography enthusiast, the sunset here is nothing short of spectacular, with vibrant hues painting the sky and reflecting on the water. The scene is truly eye-catching and a treat for both the eyes and the soul. Whether you're looking to capture stunning photographs or simply enjoy nature’s beauty, Tithal Beach is the place to be for an unforgettable evening.

We visited Tithal Beach in Valsad during the summer holidays in May 2025, and it turned out to be one of the most enjoyable experiences for our entire family. Despite the summer heat, the cool sea breeze, the soothing sound of waves, and the scenic beauty made the trip extremely refreshing and memorable.
Tithal Beach is located just a few kilometers from Valsad city and is easily accessible by road. We reached in the early morning, which gave us the perfect opportunity to enjoy the sunrise over the black sand beach. The morning sunlight reflecting on the gentle waves created a magical atmosphere.
We had a lot of fun at the beach – playing in the water, splashing with the waves, and building sandcastles with the kids. The unique black sand added a special charm to the whole experience. Children were especially thrilled and didn’t want to leave the water. Everyone in the family thoroughly enjoyed the peaceful and fun-filled time at the shore.
There were many local food stalls near the beach offering delicious snacks like bhajiyas, sweet waffles, coconut water, bhel, and batata vadas, which kept us refreshed throughout the day. The cleanliness of the beach and the maintenance by the local authorities is commendable. Parking space was easily available, and basic facilities like washrooms were also present, making the experience comfortable.
We clicked many beautiful pictures and created lasting memories. The calm and natural setting of Tithal Beach provided not just fun but also peace of mind. Even with the weekend crowd, the beach had enough space to relax and enjoy without feeling too busy.

I have been observing since long, dryer machine or hand nepkin facility not available apart from that hall sound system is getting weak need to work on that. Every time need to ask for paper cup to get water from water dispenser. Over all hospitality is very low and same time tickets price r high. I do not want give 1 star. There has to be option to rate zero star. M sure that that after this review top management will not take any necessary step and if take them it would be not permanent
Rajhans cinema , Navsari is a great place to catch a movie. The theatre is well-maintained and has comfortable seats. The sound and picture quality are excellent. A good place to bring your family and friends to watch a movie.
.
The only thing I don't like which the price of the food is bit high. Not so pocket friendly.😮💨But kya kare lena padta hain…
It is good service by staff but only one thing I don't like at booking windows they call the mobile number so loudly other people can here.over alll 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.
Worst experience since last 2 times. Not accepting payments through credit Card. Same excuse technical error in device . Arey yar such a big name in cinema and you have only one device ???? And problems having since 3 days, not getting resolved in this era ??? No where mentioned that device is not working.. This cinema has started looting in name of cash n digital payments. Taking parking charges and don't have proper parking.. Here also loot.. No management available on time to resolve issues and showing attitude to not see the movie...
Naam bade or chichore log
There is no space for parking so we all wait for main gate for 20 mins then park the car out side and came for movie. The movie started during the time. We explain it to manager but there is no specific answer for the same. So this is not good customer service.
I recently visited Rajhans Theatre, and my experience with the parking was extremely frustrating. Despite paying for parking, I had to wait over an hour to retrieve my car due to complete mismanagement. The chaos was made worse by a vehicle stuck on the pathway, blocking access, and apparently, it was locked with no quick solution provided by the staff. This level of disorganization is unacceptable, especially when customers are charged a parking fee. I hope they improve their system to avoid causing unnecessary delays and stress for visitors in the future.
Plus the seat in screen 2 of row B is broken my family have to suffer.
Worst management ever.
Rajhans cinema is start from 2015 so it is very nice cinema in navsari.
Now Giriraj is most of luxury style cinema.
Also coming soon cinema in navsari. Royal Cinema (old jhangir cinema), Rajhans cinema in Grid Road,Navsari

Dandi Beach
Beach
Outdoor Activities
Expansive, landmark beach featuring 2 monuments to Gandhi, picnicking & scenic sunset views.
Dandi Beach is one of the cleanest beach in the Arabian sea. This beach is prominent as Mahatma Gandhi led the salt Satyagraha from Sabarmati ashram to Dandi. This is the beach where Bapu broke the salt tax law of the British after the Salt March.
The beach is huge, clean and great for picnics. There are horse and camel rides available here and also Thar ride.
Husain — Google review
We visited this place after hearing about it from many people. They have developed this beach, it is much much cleaner when compared to other nearby like tithal. Kids love to play here.
The best part is they have changing rooms, shower rooms & public washrooms. This is a good beach to spend 3 to 4 hrs together with family.
The beach is ok with nice sunset views but they do need to place some rubbish bins and encourage people to use them
To help keep clean and tidy.
Also if would be nice if they could place more of them parasols and more shade so that people can sit under them and relax.
**Dandi Beach (Near Navsari): ★★★★☆ for Peace, ✘ for Swimming**
Craving profound coastal tranquility? **Dandi Beach is a must-visit sanctuary.** Experience vast, uncrowded sands, soothing waves, and breathtaking sunrises/sunsets perfect for long walks, meditation, or quiet contemplation. Its powerful historical significance as the **endpoint of Gandhi's Salt March** adds deep resonance. **However, heed this crucial warning: Bathing is NOT SAFE.** Strong currents and unpredictable waves make swimming dangerous – **seek other beaches for a dip.** Ideal for solitude seekers, history buffs, and peace lovers. Bring water, sunscreen, repellent, and respect the sea.
One of the finest and clean beach.
Also having proper parking area and eating area. Best place to photoshoot, family outing and beach sports.
The water was kind of muddy, but you can chill under the tree, which are at the shore, there were also other activities to do like camel or horse riding, trampoline for children, small four wheel ride, and many more...
But after swimming in sea, we didn't find normal water to bathe anywhere, they should provide it for some money atleast...
Dandi Beach is a peaceful and historically significant place that beautifully blends nature and legacy. Known for the iconic Salt March led by Mahatma Gandhi, the beach still carries that powerful aura of simplicity and resistance. The shoreline is calm and clean, making it a nice spot for a quiet walk or just to sit and watch the waves. There’s a gentle breeze and not too much crowd, which adds to its charm. The nearby Gandhi Smarak (memorial) is also worth visiting for a deeper connection to India’s freedom struggle. It’s a quiet retreat with a strong story — perfect for both reflection and relaxation.
Dandi Beach during sunset is a truly peaceful and mesmerizing experience. As the sun slowly sets over the Arabian Sea, the sky turns shades of orange, pink, and gold, creating a beautiful reflection on the calm waters. The cool breeze, soft sand, and soothing sound of waves make the atmosphere calm and refreshing.
The beach is not only scenic but also holds great historical importance, adding to the sense of connection and peace. Watching the sunset here feels like a perfect blend of nature and history. It’s an ideal place to relax, reflect, and enjoy the beauty of the moment.

The beach has potential but falls short in cleanliness and proper maintenance. The area feels quite dirty, and the development seems haphazard and unplanned. It lacks the organized infrastructure you'd expect at a popular tourist spot. Overall, an average experience—worth a quick visit if you're nearby, but not a destination to prioritize.
Dumas Beach offers a vast, windswept shoreline perfect for early morning walks and distant photography. While not ideal for swimming, its eerie charm and local snacks make it a memorable coastal stop.
Dumas Beach, located near Surat, Gujarat, is known for its distinctive black sand, attributed to the presence of high iron content. While it has a reputation as a haunted location, it is also a popular spot for families and children to enjoy a day out.
Dumas Beach has its own charm. The black sand, open sky, and lively atmosphere with food stalls make it a memorable place to visit.
Beach was good but I couldn't exploreore because we were late, remember to visit it before sun goes down because they don't allow being there after light. In dark, they don't like people there so police will throw you out. I hope they make the place safe and allow access for longer time.

Dumas Beach is one of the go-to weekend spots for Surti people. Whether it’s locals or guests visiting from outside Surat, this beach is always on the list. It’s usually crowded on weekends since everyone comes here to relax, rewind, and chill by the sea.
Sometimes the water is far away from the main shore, but it’s still a great place to hang out. There’s also a Mahadev temple nearby where many people go to pray.
The beach has a bunch of fun activities like ATV rides, jeep rides, camel rides, etc. You’ll also find photographers who click your pics with a DSLR and give instant digital prints—which is fun and pretty cool!
There are lots of small stalls and vendors selling boiled corn, Maggi, and other snacks, making it a typical beach-y food experience.
A little ahead of the beach, there’s a super famous spot for Gujarati bhajiyas (fritters), especially during monsoons and winters. You’ll find bhajiyas made of rataru (yam), tomatoes, onions, and even mixed ones. People even visit on Sunday mornings just for bhajiya breakfast!
Apart from all this, Dumas is also a popular long-drive spot for Surti folks who just want to escape the city’s hustle for a bit. Lately, a bunch of cute cafes have also opened nearby like Nomads, Social Blend, Kissa, Deiro, Petra, etc. with chill vibes and good ambience.
Overall, a must-visit place for a short getaway or beach day with friends and family!
About 20 km southwest of Surat city, on the Arabian Sea coast.
Lies along the Tapi River’s mouth, where it meets the sea.
Main Attractions
1. Black Sand –
The sand is slightly blackish-grey because of high iron and magnetic mineral content.
It gives the beach a very unique look, especially during sunrise and sunset.
2. Sea View & Breeze –
The beach is wide and open — perfect for evening walks, photography, or just relaxing with the sea breeze.
3. Street Food Heaven –
You’ll find many stalls selling Gujarati snacks like:
Bhel puri, pav bhaji, bhajiya, gola, sweet corn, and coconut water. 🍴
4. Sunset Point –
The sunset at Dumas Beach is one of the most beautiful in Gujarat — orange sky over the Arabian Sea.

I am yesterday visit in ambika niketen temple best in famous temple in surat must visit yesterday ambika maa face very lovely smileling look was good . Maa eye was very powerful look in sakthi
Astonishing temple with lots of devine vibes located on the river bank of the river Tapi. Beautifully carved and gold-plated walls of garbhgriha, peaceful looking, ashtbhuj (eight hands) idol of Mata Ambika is the main attraction.
There are few other temples nearby, you start with shree Ganesh temple at the entrance. There is one fascinating room full of ancient and traditional furniture such as sofas, bed, chairs, tables, mirrors, chandelier and few other items, one can't get enough of it.
One point I didn't like was the location of the main temple, it is on the first floor. So it becomes nightmare for old or handicapped people who cannot climb the stairs. A ramp should be installed for that reason.

From ruins to renewal: The city hides stories.
The transformation from ancient ruins to a beautifully restored heritage site is truly impressive—hats off to SMC for the incredible work!
The entire visit was seamless and well-managed. You never feel lost—thanks to the guards guiding you at every point and the dedicated Surat Fort app that gives you a virtual tour experience.
It’s not just a monument—it’s a journey through history.
If you're in Surat and haven’t been yet here, this place is a must visit. Trust me, it’s worth every moment. All the fort portion is fully air-conditioned so can be visit any season.
Ticket price : 100 rs. (In cash only)
Just one thing is missing they should except UPI payments too for ticket.
Had an amazing and truly rewarding experience at Surat Fort!
The restoration is done beautifully and the place is full of Surat’s history — from stories of trade with Europeans in the 1600s to fascinating artifacts. I was surprised to learn that the fortifications actually started in the late 1300s.
What made my visit even more special was meeting Mr. Sumesh Modi, the historian-architect researched the fort and led its restoration. Listening to him talk about the history and the behind-the-scenes restoration process made the visit unforgettable.
Highly recommend spending 2–3 hours here. It’s a perfect way to explore Surat’s rich heritage and admire its stunning architecture.
This reconstructed fort is in good condition. Entry fee is rs100/-per person. Open at 10am close at 5pm. Very nice fort to see with family and friends. There is various types of musiums in the fort ie canons pistols coins sculptures ancient War things wardrobes etc. Though this fort is in guirat sultan time it get value in English reign. They reboot strong fort here. This is first English factory in India. Price worthy place to visit.
The restoration work was massive. The place is like a museum itself with many artifacts. But you cannot roam freely as you wish even if you want a picture you don't have time as oftenly they force you to continue the visit. There are many restricted areas in outside places whereby only outside front view of the fort is allowed. It was good as a museum visit but I wanted to see the core structure of a 5 century old castle and fort which they denied access for security issues as some parts are still under renovation which I can understand but for restricted outer space I think it mainly because they don't want you to see the small slum behind the fort or garbages. Overall good experience but can still improve.
I went to the fort without any expectations as it looked small compared to forts in Rajasthan or Maharashtra. There is an entry ticket of 100INR. The Govt. has done a fabulous job of renovating and maintaining the fort. Once you enter the fort, follow the instructions of the security guard and visit each room in that order. The fort has beautiful collections of coins, stamps, ivory, furniture, jewellery, etc. in the different rooms. The history of the fort is shown in a video at the start as well as a display with information and pictures.
Had an amazing experience knowing the history of Surat fort and how Surat municipal corporation worked to restore it
The place is well maintained, with guards everywhere to guide you which way you should go next
The fort has lots of collections , also they have a small documentary indicating the history of this fort
They charge 100 rupees per person which is worth it
They have various sections and each section is clean, airconditioned
One of the best places to visit in Surat! The castle is kept very clean, there are security guards everywhere who guide you through right entry and exits and they also show you a little documentary about the castle’s history. Was an Amazing experience there!

The beach is really nice and clean but when I was travelling I saw lot of industrial factories near by so I would suggest enjoy the beach view and rides without entering the water as it can harm your skin.
Views are really awesome food options also available.
Last Sunday when I visited it was too crowded. Look like a fair, there are lot of activities like camel riding, horse riding and bike riding. Children like to play with sand. And most interesting thing on the beach is view of sunset. Its so peaceful to see sunset. better than Dummas beach.
Early mornings are preferred to make the most out of this experience. It's less crowded, clean and an apt space for people who have a love for slow life. The earlier you can go, the longer you can enjoy without the scorching sun heat and the waves are really apt in the morning if you plan to go further in the sea.
Great place to visit with friends & family...can do a day picnic too.
Went on weekday early morning... Overall good experience... beach is not much clean... Parking space available..the road to beach is also good.

The iron used in its construction is both rugged and resistant to rust, making it more valuable than modern steel.

Rang Avadhoot Maharaj Mandir, located on the banks of the Narmada River, is a serene and underrated spiritual destination. The mandir's tranquil surroundings and clean ghat for pujan offer a peaceful place for worship. The divine energy and harmonious atmosphere make it a unique haven for devotees seeking spiritual solace.
Avadhoot Chintan Shree Gurudev Datta. Very nice worship of Lord Dattatreya and Rang Avadhoot at this peaceful sanctuary and mandir. Make sure you visit the banks of the Narmada river as well for a heightened spiritual experience. Visited on Guruvar expecting a lot of people but it was not crowded. If you buy Prasad or flowers, make sure you hold on to it tight as monkeys are aggressive and will snatch it away if you let your guard down.

Rang Avdhoot Maharaj Mandir in Nareshwar is a peaceful and spiritually rich temple located by the Narmada River. The calm atmosphere and serene surroundings make it an ideal place for meditation and quiet reflection. The temple holds deep significance as it is the samadhi of Shri Rang Avdhoot Maharaj, and many devotees feel a special spiritual vibration here. The temple complex is clean and well-maintained, though some visitors mention that the riverbank could be better cared for. Basic lodging and food are available, but facilities are simple. The best time to visit is early morning or during sunset for a truly tranquil to experience. Festivals attract large crowds, so visiting on regular days offers a more peaceful atmosphere. Overall, this is a must-visit for those seeking inner peace and spiritual connection.
Nareshwar is Serene place temple of Shri Rang Avdhut Maharaj. It is basically a spritual place. Its on the bank of holy river Narmada making it a memorable site. Here you can take bath but many time administration closes it. Today on 08 june 2025 people were taking bath. Maybe at time of rush it get closed.
Rang Avdhoot Temple has really good vibes. The calm atmosphere feels comforting and peaceful. Everywhere you go in the temple, there's a sense of tranquility that makes you feel at ease. The positive energy here is perfect for thinking and connecting spiritually. It's a great place to visit if you want a deep and uplifting experience.🙌🙏💐
This is a religious place. Rang Avdhoot Maharaj a saint did Tapashya here. People believes your any Manokamna (wishes) get fulfilled here if you make a wish to Rang Avdhoot Maharaj. Samadhi of his mother also there adjacent to the main temple. Your any manokamna (wishes) may fulfil if you do pradakshina (take a round) of this Samadhi.
Rang Avadhut Temple, near bank of river Narmada. Divine Experiences, Peaceful Place.
In occasions on full moon (Poornimaa) the crowd is more. After taking bath in holy Narmada River people go for Darshan. No entry fees. Well mentain, clean and safe place.
Very aesthetic place. Nice view of Narmada river. Vadodara about 50 kilometers. With parking facility. Best place to relax and meditate. But to reach near the river, we need to go downhill which is difficult for senior citizens. Same while going upwards. Excellent view. Camel and horse rides also there.
Divine and Holly place with temple and idol of Shri Rang Avadhoot maharaj. Place is covered with trees and is near bank of narmada. Bathing in the river is available. Food and parking facility is also available. Good for one day picnic.

If you are visiting the statue of unity then plan one day for this temple. It's approximately 40 kms from ekta nagar railway station and takes 2 hrs to reach the location. This temple is very huge and mainly for Swaminarayan. However, there are other deities as well. The temple is at the bank of Narmada river. The temple has serene vibes and is very peaceful. The architectural design of the temple is marvelous. There is Kuber temple at the other side of the Narmada river which can be reached by boat. There is shoe locker facility. Also, many shops for buying worship items. Big food court is available and having many varieties. There are kids play zone area on the other side of the temple which is also big. At the entrance of the premises, a huge gaushala is located. You can buy pure cow ghee and other products there. Overall it's worth visiting the temple.
This magnificent temple truly feels like heaven on earth, offering a profound sense of peace and serenity. Its grandeur is awe-inspiring, and the intricate details of its architecture are simply breathtaking. We highly recommend visiting this sacred place, and if your schedule allows, spending a night here would be an unforgettable experience. The culinary offerings at the temple are also exceptional, providing delicious and nourishing meals. It is a destination that nourishes both the soul and the senses.

The detailed carvings, beautiful landscaping, water bodies, and gardens are immaculately maintained and offer a peaceful escape from city life. 
The food plaza & prasadalay serve good, affordable vegetarian meals; the shops and rest areas are clean & convenient. Even the walking paths and fountains add to the calm vibe, especially during sunset and night when the lights make the place truly magical. 
If you plan your visit early or later in the day (to avoid the intense midday sun), Nilkanthdham becomes even more enjoyable.

Excellent religious place. Temple is very big and very beautiful. Must visit place. Those who are visiting Statue of unity must include this place too in their itenary. It's about 40km from Ekta Nagar. Cabs and Autos are available. Better to book it for 2 way. Cab charges are 3000 to 4000. Autos would be 2000 to 2500. If anyone visit SOU on Monday then it's better to plan for Poicha as SOU is holiday on Monday.
The temple itself is beautifully built, and one could easily spend an entire day exploring the place. When we visited, it was raining heavily, so we couldn’t see much around. Because of the rain, we also missed the Sahjanand Exhibition this time—but we’ll definitely come back again to experience it.
The food court is well maintained and neatly organized, with dedicated counters for each cuisine. There were separate stalls for ice cream, soda, sandwiches, South Indian dishes, pani puri, dabeli, and even full thalis—both Punjabi and Gujarati. A special counter served Nilkanth Ji’s prasadam, kadhi-khichdi. We tried the Punjabi thali, which wasn’t quite up to the mark, but the rest of the food was excellent. From sada dosa and masala dosa to idli-sambar, pani puri, and French fries—everything was enjoyable. The highlight for me, however, was their vegetable uttappa, which was absolutely delicious!
Excellent swaminarayan spiritual well managed neat and clean place on the bank of Narmada river. Have taken testy and simple lunch here. Children may enjoy a lot here.
One can stay here as there is a facility available.

Visit Vadodara and don't visit Lakshmi Vilas Palace, your trip will be incomplete! This is not just a palace, but a living history of the amazing art, heritage and splendor of the Gaekwad rulers of Gujarat. In my opinion, this palace is one of the most magnificent and well-maintained royal residences in India.
Architecture and grandeur:
This palace was built in 1890 in the Indo-Saracenic style. It is said that this palace is four times larger than Buckingham Palace! Its huge doors, beautiful windows and intricate carvings will amaze you.
Interior splendor:
The interior work of the palace is truly amazing. The flooring, exotic tiles, murals and colorful glass windows of the 'Darbar Hall' are a sight to behold. The museum section houses a collection of rare items and weapons of the Gaekwad family, which will take you back in time.
Vast grounds:
The vast and lush garden of the palace gives immense peace. The small golf course behind the palace adds to its grandeur. The atmosphere here is very peaceful and beautiful in the evening.
My experience:
I have visited this palace many times, and every time I am happy to see the maintenance here. An audio guide facility is also available to explain the art and history inside to the tourists, which is very helpful. This is a special place for families, history lovers and architecture students.
Tip:
Photography enthusiasts should visit here early in the morning or before sunset.
It was the best experience ever.. such a nice palace Laxmi Vilas Palace, Vadodara..A good, nice palace with equally huge gardens and its own golf course.. they have cricket academy also.. and LVP garba is most famous in here.. Though only a very very small part of the entire palace is open for public display. They have good AV and give you the Device with earphones to listen to the entire history & details about the Palace, its history, Royal Family and many things. It goes on and on for more than 2 hrs. However, we took 1 hour to explore whole palace.. They have a nice small cafe inside..
Visiting Laxmi Vilas Palace is truly a royal experience. The sheer grandeur of the architecture, the beautifully manicured gardens, and the rich history reflected in every corner make it a must-visit. The palace interiors showcase exquisite artwork, ornate halls, and royal collections that transport you back in time. We visited during the weekend so it was a bit crowded. We didn't have to wait in a queue. The security at the entrance n exit guide you with the needed information.
The museum inside offers fascinating insights into the Gaekwad dynasty, with displays of weapons, paintings, and artifacts. The Darbar Hall, with its stunning chandeliers and Venetian mosaic flooring, is breathtaking. The audio guide is well-curated and helps you appreciate the heritage even more.
The sprawling lawns and golf course add to the charm, and the upkeep of the property is commendable. Entry is well-organized, though prior permission is required for certain areas.
Overall, Laxmi Vilas Palace is not just a monument but an experience that blends culture, history, and elegance. A must-see gem of Vadodara.
There are some places in the premises that needs a lot of restoration and the exterior needs some renovation work and painting.
It rained a lot that day so we had to rush back from the lawn area.
Overall a well spent outing which can be completed in an hour or a little more.
Photography is prohibited inside the palace
Beautiful place to visit. No regrets. It takes 2 hours to fully explore the palace. The audio guide is included in the ticket. So keep your tickets safely and don't lose them. To collect the audio guide show your ticket in the office administration and tell them the preferred language. The first point of the start of the palace is the statue near the Golf lawn. Don't miss the painting which is at the exit, before that you have to submit the audio guide and take sign.
Lukshmi Vilas Palace is truly the pride of Vadodara and one of the most magnificent palaces in India. The moment you enter the premises, you can feel the royal grandeur and historic charm all around. The architecture is breathtaking — a stunning blend of Indo-Saracenic design, intricate carvings, and beautiful domes that reflect the rich heritage of the Gaekwad dynasty. The palace museum houses a fine collection of royal artifacts, weapons, paintings, and sculptures that offer a glimpse into the glorious past.
The lush green golf course and the huge palace grounds make the experience even more delightful.

Quite nice lake, clean & well maintained. The Sur sagar lake is in the heart of City of Vadodara, Gujarat. The walking strip is really very good & you can take quite a big lap of whole lake. The Seasonal migrated birds are beautiful to watch whioe they play in the lake. Must visit place in Vadodara.
Sur sagar lake looks stunning at night as golden lord Shiva statue glows giving scenic view. If you visit at night then try Lakhoti soda which taste yummy.
As I have visited here today and it's my first day in Vadodara, Gujarat, I am impressed by the people here. I visited the Sur Sagar Lake, and I can definitely say that everybody must visit this place as it helps you feel relaxed. You can enjoy the sunrise and sunset views from here and also spend some valuable time with your loved ones. Additionally, there are lots of food stalls nearby, so I suggest you must visit this place.Also there is a hold plated lord Shiva idol in the centre of the lake.
Present at heart of the city.
But, it lacks maintenance. Water in Lake is not clean and with lot of dead fish. Pleaset evening walk is risk to health at this place.
Excellent place for walking. One can relax here . Very beautiful Lord Shiva Statue in the middle of the Lake.
Sur Sagar Lake in Vadodara is a serene urban oasis that dates back to the 18th century, originally known as Chandan Talav. 🏞️
Towering in the centre of the lake is a stunning 120-foot gold-plated statue of Lord Shiva, reflecting beautifully in the water. 🕉️
The lakeside pathway offers clean seating and pleasant evening breezes — perfect for a relaxed stroll or peaceful reflection. 🌇
With its historical importance, central location, and spiritual vibe, it’s a must-visit when you’re in Vadodara. 🙏
Sursagar Lack having a tall statue of Lord Shiva 120 feet in the middle of the lake, which is lit up on Maha Shivratri, works as a veritable beacon over the lake. Beautification around entire lake is good with walkways & seating etc.

It's is nice place to visit. Their is a zoo, lots of different gardens and meusium. Also you can enjoy joy train which take tour of whole garden. If you are planning to visit the whole garden then you can visit from morning so you can timidly visit each place without rush. Pets are not allow and you can also have photography session by taking permission from the authorities.
It is a good place to visit in vadodara. It has lot of greenery and beautiful flower gardens you will really enjoy it. However zoo requires little maintenance and cleanness.
This is free garden but for viewing zoo, there is fee of Rs.80, quite big area covered, lot of Space, plenty trees, enough seating places, walking strip from which you can scroll through. This Garden is in Vadodara & easily accessible & available in the heart of city.
This garden is so big and variety of landscapes that it never gets bored here. It is best place to train for marathons. Best place for family outing. Best place to hang out. Drinking water and toilets available. Besides vishwamitri river it has lot of birds and animals.
Nice Garden
Lots of greenery
Only negative is that there’s a buggy car with 20 INR per person ride, since no one around they took 100 INR for us 3 as no one was taking buggy.
On asking how many minutes, counter lady told 15/18 minutes and once we sat on buggy, in exactly 9 minutes he got us back. We felt cheated but they didn’t bother.
Toy Train also had big waiting for train parked and lots of kids and family disappointed
The Sayaji garden is having a very big distance walking track to enjoy morning people from nearby areas preferably visit here for morning and evening walk. The park is fully filled with different fruit and flowers plants in the Garden area. This was a great experience to visit this place.The sayaji garden area having very big watch which shows accurate timing . I am very happy and prefer to visit this Garden at the time of weekends with kid.
Only one big garden in vadodara city where you can enjoy fullday picnic.
It has zoo,toy train, musium,planetarium,food plaza, varieties of rides and lush green lawn with lots of trees.
There are many stone statues surrounding the band stand where you do photography.
It has sufficient parking place.
In the morning,it is best place to go for Yoga,walking in garden and testing various snacks outside garden.

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.
Wonderfully built and thoughtfully designed place. And you get all the flexibility in bus schedules because all bus routes available at all times. No complaint. Wherever you want to go, you can have a ride in time. Volvo, sleeper and all. Inquiry response is also straightforward and clean. Waiting space is so neat and impeccable... Plus food is good, too 😍
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.
This is one of the most crowded bus depots in the state, only behind gitamandir bus depot in Ahmedabad. This is one of the busiest also. Buses from almost across the state comes here.
The main place to catch GSRTC buses to various places in Gujarat and some places in Rajasthan, Madhya pradesh and Maharashtra. Cleanliness is being maintained by the staff. There are outlets selling food and other stuffs here.
One of the Best State transport Bus depo of India. Neat and clean bus station. Lots of hygienic food outlets are there. Excellent sitting arrangement.
Spot reservation and volvo bus booking can be done here. Toilets are clean. Stay arrangement is available with dormitory facility. Luggage clock room service is available.

Best place for shopping with family contains branded shops, Food Courts, Fun Gaming Zone, Reliance mall, Hygiene Wash rooms. Good experience we had.
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!

Constructed by the Indian Army, this contemporary temple features a geodesic dome covered with aluminum sheets, designed by renowned architect Gerard da Cunha. It has been under construction for over 25 years and incorporates aspects of major Indian religions.
The EME (Electrical and Mechanical Engineering) Temple, also known as the Dakshinamurthy Temple, is one of Vadodara’s most unique and lesser-known attractions. Managed by the Indian Army, this temple is a fine blend of modern architecture, spiritual significance, and historical importance. It is dedicated to Lord Shiva, in his Dakshinamurthy form, symbolizing wisdom and enlightenment.
The EME Temple is a must-visit for those who appreciate unique architecture, spirituality, and peaceful surroundings. It’s an excellent place for devotees, tourists, and history enthusiasts alike. Whether you are religious or not, the temple's ambience and design make it worth visiting at least once.
Architectural Significance:
The temple stands out with its geodesic dome structure, made of aluminium sheets, which is quite rare for a religious site. Designed with a futuristic approach, it incorporates elements from various religions:
The dome represents Islam

The EME Temple in Vadodara is one of the most unique and peaceful places you can visit in the city. The temple has a very serene atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for anyone seeking peace and spiritual calm.
What makes the temple truly special is its modern design and architecture. Unlike traditional temples, this one has a distinct structure with symbolic elements representing different religions, which beautifully reflects the message of unity and harmony.
The surroundings are very well-kept, with greenery and a calm environment that instantly makes you feel relaxed. Whether you come here for prayer, meditation, or just to spend a few quiet moments, the temple offers a refreshing break from the busy city.
If you are visiting Vadodara, the EME Temple is a must-visit—not just for its spiritual significance but also for its architectural uniqueness and peaceful ambience.
The Dakshinamoorthy and Navgraha EME Temple is very Unique in design, very peaceful and Amazing Hindu temple dedicated to Devo ke Dev Mahadev 🔱.
The EME Temple was built in 1966 by the Electronics & Mechanical Engineers (EME) School of Indian Army and is maintained and run by the Army in Vadodara city of Gujarat.
Temple has 108 major archaeological stone statues circa 600-1600 CE of various Hindu deities. The statues are placed in various open spaces of the temple and attract a large number of students of architecture and archaeological studies.
Out of respect, we didn't click any pics instead of the temple.
1. The guards were very polite and humble to talk to.
2. There are many sculptures, and I request people not to touch them.
3. The gurudwara is one of its kind. Do not miss it.
4. Peaceful and very well maintained place.
5. You have to submit your identity proof. They will return it once you are done with your exit. There is no charge or fees.
The place is one of the unique temples located within the city of Vadodara! You can tell “ Hidden Gem” , the tranquil environment and beautifully managed premises that attract you lot more !! You can enter this place by giving your identity card to reception ( it’s mandatory)
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. The temple premises have various small shrines of multiple gods, Navgraha, Ganpati, Sai Baba, Buddha, etc.
I am visiting it since my childhood.
In the heart of the city, one of the oldest temple yet so esthetic, peaceful, calm and positive vibes around.
EME (Electrical & Mechanical Engineering Temple) or also known as Dakshinamurthy temple is under the preservense of EME. 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 EME Temple in Baroda is a stunning symbol of secularism and unity. Built and maintained by the Indian Army, the temple’s unique architecture incorporates elements from Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Jainism, and Zoroastrianism, reflecting India’s rich spiritual diversity. Each design detail, from the dome to the tower, represents different faiths, making it a place of universal reverence
You need to show and deposit your id card at the entrance. No fees- free visit. Collect your ID back when you leave.

During summer who not wants to go in water park?? 😌
Well, i have visited the enjoy city water park last year. Such a nice journey. If you have your own vehicle then you can easily reach at there. But if you haven't your personal vehicle, then you have to travel through local transport and road is very very rough you can't reach at location easily. Road is very much rouff i think this is the bad part of that journey. If i talking about riding at there, such a huge ride like pendulum and other 4 5 floor ride. It's worth to money which you spend there. Also their music system i also like. They have best ride at there but some ride is not there so hope in upcoming time they built new rides and it's canteen is also good. I really like it. I recommend public to go there and take advantage of such a nice Glory of Gujarat. 🥰
Jaydip — Google review
The place looks very good. All rides are fine. But I must say take shower before going into the water park and after finishing, otherwise you may get some infection like skin burning issue or red skin issue. Everything else is fine. Food quality is also good.I enjoyed a lot.
Its okay for one time visit, as rides are open for particular schedule hours. And also not proper kind of cleanliness + management, Yah but for particular price range should be a best choice. They should focus more on cleanliness/neatness/hygeine.
~The Enjoy city is very good place for one day fully refreshing picnic.
~For water rides & slides 5 out of 5.
~natural atmosphere & greenery not as expected.
~adventure park is plus point for enjoy city.
~ adventure park entry fee included with water park tickets but you have to pay extra for some premium rides.
~ food taste was good but it's little bit costly.
~ Out side food is not allowed in water park.
~ overall great experience.
We have visited this Place on Sunday. I got a Negative feedback From my Friend About this water park.
But Actually i found this place better. I would personally say if you Visit this place on Vacation Days it would be Definitely Full of Crowd and that's Natural.
But if you plan to Visit this place on Non seasonal Day's like monsoon and Winter you would definitely find less Crowd here and you will also enjoy all Rides.
Likes :
1 All Rides.
2 Most Like Rides Are Cobra and near to that all Big Rides. These Rides Are Most excited and Paisa Vasool Rides.
3 Advance Booking Facility.
4 Staff was very Cooperative and Kind.
5 Other Facilities Like Baby Cradle Facility is Provided.
6 Food was Amazing. There are all type of Food Available Like Full Dish, Fast Food, Ice cream, Cold Drinks.
Dislikes :
1 Price Of Food is too high aa compared to Other water parks.
2 at many places Floor is not proper. The Flooring is Damaged so there is small stone's which may Cause an Injury.
3 Power cut is Many Time during a Day.
4 Amusement park is not so attractive and big. All the 5 paid premium Rides should be keep Free.
Overall I would Suggest this water park to Visit once. If you make a booking Advance it's actually very Cheap. This is a good Deal.
Superb Water park Ever.. 👌Huge rides and separate rides for children as well. Wave, Foam shower, Open Rain dance, Closed rain dance with lighting are awesome, Very good facilities for Food and drinking water.
> Only need improvement on below points,
1. Water quality is not good, mixed to much dust.
2. Need to reduce space between joint parts of rides which causes the scratches on back.
3. In some closed ride we haven't enjoyed because of total darkness, need to keep transparent sheet in between little distance in whole ride or fit the LED lighting in different colors.
4. Floor Tiles are very sleepy where the building of rides. Also Railings not fitted correctly and somewhere it's broken which causes the incident.
Finally, it's superb.
Must visit at least once
3rd class 3rd class 3rd class
Dirty Dirty Dirty ….
Must go through my shared photos.
One of the 3rd class water park in Gujarat. There was no any system from starting to end.
Tickets process was very difficult. Ticket provider staff was very incapable. We have spoiled 2 hours for tickets.
After tickets, there is no any proper system for costume and locker. Price of costume is also high compare to the Best water park Shankus.
Water was very very very very dirty. I will never suggest this water park. There was only Lil in the water. Very unhealthy.
Walking footpath is also very bad you can see the photos in my review.
Changing room and Locker room was very dirty. Door was broken and very dirty. Even dirty than public toilets.
Parking was also very bad. They took 50 Rs for parking but I don’t know why there ware talking 50 Rs.
Rides waiting are was very dirty. Even can’t stay there due to dirty smell.
Very bad experience in my life. They just run the water park for money. I will never suggest anyone.
Shankus and Bliss are best water park in Gujarat.
Very bad experience, no maintenance at all of slides and places. Water is also dirty, literaly algae is formed, they dont replace the water after a day. Canel made for boating is also closed. Water is very dirty (green with algae). Electricity is also not stable there. 3 times electricity went off during a day. Food quality served in their canteen is very poor and costly. No sweeper is there to clean the area.
