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. 🥰

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.
Dev — Google review
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.
Dipen P — Google review
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.

Excellent just love ❤️ this place. This place is owned by Amul company itself. Located just outside the main production facility. All amul products are available here some of which are not available in local shops all across the country. Beside amul normal products atta, ketchup, cola , bread etc are available here. Quality is too good. Amul cola is good in taste. Keychup also tastes very good.

I visited the Amul Chocolate and Sweet House during my trip to Amul Foodland. I tried their samosa and also treated myself to some Amul ice cream. As always, Amul means excellent quality—no complaints at all. Both items were tasty, and I truly enjoyed the experience!
Aatish B — Google review
One of India's pride has always been Amul. It has held a place in every Indian's heart. Witnessing the home at Anand and being given a friendly tour, at absolutely no cost is what makes this place a must visit. The food plaza is also a must visit after the industrial tour.

All in one place for all amul lovers. Each and every product of amul is made over here. Anand is also known as amul city as the biggest industry in anand is of amul. Here you will get each and every product line of amul, ice cream, choclates, e.t.c. The only thing to be noted is that you will get everything on the same rates as you get on retail shops, no advantage of factory outlet.

Elaborately carved riverside temple dating from the 12th century & dedicated to Lord Shiva.
5/5 stars "Serene and peaceful! Galteshwar Mahadev Temple is a beautiful spot for spiritual rejuvenation. The temple's architecture and surroundings are mesmerizing. A must-visit for a tranquil experience."😀
Priyank P — Google review
Galteswar Shiva Temple, Dakor, Gujarat Beautiful ambience! The rocks on the river Mahi is really a place where one can enjoy the flowing waters. Located 16 km from Dakor town. It is a Shiva temple of the Solanki period. Situated on the sangam of the rivers Mahi and Galati where it is said lived Galav Muni Chandrahaas of Puranic fame. At present the lovely rocky bank of Mahi and the beautiful old Shiva temple on it has one spring of the River Galati, that constantly sprinkling water on the Shiva linga. Rich in art and architecture, it has a unique eight-sided hall. The walls have carved figures of Gods, gandharvas, humans, rishis, horse riders, elephant riders, chariots, doli and the events of the human life, that is from birth to death, all are depicted in these carvings. The temple is the Monument of National Importance and protected by the Archaeological Survey of India. The shikhara as well as the mandapa of the temple collapsed in 1908. The restoration of shikhara was completed by ASI in September 2021. The Galteshwar is a Hindu temple dedicated to Shiva, located at Sarnal village near Dakor in Kheda district, Gujarat, India. The 12th century temple is unique in its style and of its period because it is built in central Indian Malwa style, bhumija, without influence of Paramara architecture and with influence of Gujarati Chaulukya architecture. It has a square garbhagriha (shrine proper) as well as an octagonal mandapa (dancing hall). Two fairs are held at Galteshwar every year, on Janmashtami and on Sharad Purnima. The temple is visited by a large number of devotees on Mahashivaratri. There are a lot of eateries available near the temple. Changing rooms are also built for convenience of the devotees. ****

The intricate carvings and the divine aura emanating from the statue create a sense of awe and reverence. * Riverfront Location: Situated on the banks of the Tapi River, the temple offers breathtaking views and a peaceful atmosphere. The gentle flow of the river adds to the tranquility of the surroundings. A visit to Galteshwar Mahadev is a truly enriching experience.

Whether you are a devout Hindu or simply seeking a peaceful retreat, Galteshwar Mahadev offers a memorable experience. Would I recommend it? Absolutely! If you are in Surat or its vicinity, visiting Galteshwar Mahadev is a must-do. It is a place where you can connect with your spiritual side and experience the beauty of Hindu devotion.
Himadri S — Google review
Visiting Galteshwar Mahadev Mandir was a truly divine experience. The temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, is known for its beautiful architectural design and its peaceful riverside location. The ancient carvings on the temple walls reflect rich history and spiritual significance. One of the highlights of this temple is its location at the confluence of two rivers, which adds to the tranquility of the place. The Shivlinga inside the temple is deeply revered, and the temple atmosphere is filled with devotion, especially during Mahashivratri and Shravan month. Overall, Galteshwar Mahadev Mandir is a must-visit for Shiva devotees and nature lovers alike, offering a perfect blend of spirituality and scenic beauty.

Best holy place to visit near Dakor. People come here to enjoy with family in river. Generally, during summer vacations, it is too crowdy. Water is clear, and your family will definitely enjoy. Temple here is also very old and beautiful.
Sanjay G — Google review
Galteshwar is very important in the historic tourism and religious places of Gujarat in the Thasra taluka of Kheda district. This religious place is located at the sangam (confluence) of the Mahisagar and the Galti river. This Galteshwar Mahadev, situated 10 to 12 km away from the famous Dakor’s Thakorji, has more than 25 lakh devotees and tourists visits in the year. Despite the indecisive attempts to complete the incomplete summit many times, this temple is now without the peak.

A Serene and Sacred Experience! "Galteshwar Mahadev Temple is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of nature. This ancient temple dedicated to Lord Shiva is a must-visit for its serene atmosphere, stunning architecture, and spiritual significance.

It was really awesome experience. I loved the place. One should carry water bottles and food. Entire premises was centralized AC. Very well maintained. Even in summer time one can visit. You won't feel tired. One should try 5D theatre.

​I had a wonderful time at the Balasinor Dinosaur Fossil Park and Museum in Gujarat. It's a fantastic, highly informative place that's great for both kids and adults. Anyone who loves learning and discovering new things about dinosaurs should definitely visit. It's a must-see! My family and I really enjoyed our visit. We're very grateful to Gujarat Tourism and the Gujarat government for creating such a wonderful place.
Amitava S — Google review
I recently visited the Dinosaur Fossil Park and Museum in Rayoli as part of a bike riding trip with friends. The park is a great destination for school trips and families with kids. It offers a decent educational experience, showcasing the history of dinosaurs through projector displays and exhibits. There’s also a 5D theatre that aims to give an immersive experience of the dinosaur era. While it was an interesting addition, it didn’t quite meet expectations in terms of quality and excitement. One major downside was the way the actual dinosaur fossils were stored — they seemed to be kept in a rather neglected and poorly maintained area, which was disappointing considering the importance of the artifacts. Overall, it's a nice spot for a quick visit, especially for children and school groups, but there’s definitely room for improvement in terms of presentation and maintenance. I’d rate it around 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Recently visited the Dinosaur Fossil Park and Museum in Balasinor, about 2.5 hours' drive from Ahmedabad, and it was an eye-opening experience. It’s incredible to see the actual fossil remains and dinosaur bones from what was once one of the largest dinosaur nesting sites in the world. The museum is well-curated, informative, and offers a great glimpse into prehistoric India. A must-visit for history buffs, families, or anyone curious about the ancient world, it’s not just educational, it’s truly awe-inspiring! 🦕✨
Krishna A — Google review
Kids who love dinosaurs really enjoy this place. It has amusements and a good number of statutes for various dinosaurs. It ads knowledge for those who want to learn the history. 5D show and VR were also good ( could have been better), but good considering economy ticket prices.. good for one time visit and you can spend 1.5 to 2 hours here with kids and family..
Dipak D — Google review
We visited the Balasinor Dinosaur Fossil Park just 2 days back with family, and it was an amazing experience — especially for kids! Located in Raiyoli village near Balasinor, Gujarat, this place is famously known as the "Jurassic Park of India." It is recognized as one of the world's largest dinosaur hatcheries, where over 10,000 fossilized dinosaur eggs have been discovered. Even now, excavations often uncover new fossils and remains. The park has several sections showcasing the history of dinosaurs through 3D presentations, information kiosks, and well-curated displays. The 5D show and VR experience were the best part of the visit — thoroughly enjoyable for both kids and adults! There are also food stalls, ample parking space, and souvenir shops with dinosaur-themed products for children. Entry Fee: ₹70 per person. (Other fees are there like 5D,VR etc, overall 400 rs) Overall, it's a perfect one-day outing spot for families — educational, fun, and unique. If you're visiting Gujarat, this place is definitely worth adding to your itinerary!
Pratik D — Google review
Nice place for one time visit. It's one of the three fossil parks in the world. But not maintained at all. No value of this precious fossils in open area. Museum is also very well made but not maintained like that. Washrooms are not very much cleaned. 5d theatre and chairs also not maintained. Waste of money in 5d & VR tickets.
Mehul P — Google review
Visited on 16-08-2025. Adult tickets is only 70 rupee. They have only 2 or 3 VR set and most of the time on charging and waiting period is approx 2-3 hour for that, 3D film quality is very low. In 5D theater combination of screen and seat movement have miss connection have 1-2 second delay.Tthey should improve maintenance factor.Staff need training regrade the place. They have shop at exit point, shop is okay okay type. Good place for children not for adults hang out

Sri Siddhivinayak Devasthan | Mahemdavad

Mentioned on

Hindu temple
Place of worship
Nestled in the serene surroundings of Mahemdavad, Gujarat, the Sri Siddhivinayak Devasthan is a magnificent temple dedicated to Lord Ganesh. Its unique elephant-shaped architecture and beautifully landscaped gardens create an inviting atmosphere for visitors. The temple houses a stunning idol of Ganesha on the third floor, while the first floor showcases various Ganesha idols from around the world, each with its own story.
We went to the Asian's biggest temple of lord Shree Ganesha during summer vacation. It makes up from the mountain and cave structured temple makes me feel like I'm on an adventure! It was a blissful and great experience with family and friends both. I liked the Prasadam arrangement, entering the temple, various Ganesha's sculptures across the world there. I would love to go there again and again!!💕

A beautiful and wonderful temple of lord ganeshji at bank of vatrak river in mahemdavad town of kheda district in gujarat. It is near from Ahmedabad and nadiad. The main thing about this mandir is shape, that is given to the lord ganeshji's face. The temple is made with Australian technique. There is also temple of lord Shiva, arbuda ma. It is asia's biggest temple of lord ganeshji with shape of ganeshji's face.

Peaceful spiritual destination that blends devotion with beautiful architecture. The temple’s serene atmosphere, clean surroundings, and the divine idol of Lord Ganesha create an uplifting experience for every visitor. The premises are well-maintained, and the staff are polite and helpful. Whether you visit during festivals or on a regular day, the energy here feels calming and positive. A must-visit for those seeking blessings and a moment of peace away from the hustle of daily life.

Sri Sidhi Vinayaka Devasthala is a unique and beautiful temple, known for holding the record of being the biggest Ganesha-shaped temple. The architecture and premises are really impressive and well maintained. I visited during Ganesha Chaturthi, so it was quite crowded and took around 30 minutes in line. The temple is properly managed and clean, with a food court and even a small game zone for kids, which makes it family-friendly. Overall, a very nice spiritual and cultural spot to visit in Ahmedabad.

“Peaceful & Divine Experience” Siddhivinayak Temple in Mehmdavad is truly a place filled with positivity and devotion. The temple is beautifully maintained and gives a very calm and spiritual vibe the moment you enter. Darshan is smooth, and the environment feels peaceful with the chants of “Ganpati Bappa Morya” all around. The temple premises are clean, well-organized, and perfect for spending some quiet, prayerful time with family. If you’re in Mehmdavad, this temple is definitely a must-visit for blessings and peace of mind. 🙏✨
Tanviben P — Google review
Shri Siddhi Vinayak Devasthan which is located in Mehmadabad. It is very beautiful and stands out in terms of design because the shape of the temple is made like the shape of Ganpati Bappa's face. This temple is two-storeyed, in which the temple of Ganpati Bappa is on the second floor, the temple of Mahadev on the first floor and the shopping area on the ground floor. This temple is open from 6 am to 10 pm. There is also a food court where you can eat whatever you want, in which South Indian, Punjabi, Chinese and Gujarati and fast food are available. But there is nothing good to eat here. There is also a very large space for parking outside. Many people also do their own vows here. In which you have to bring your own wheat and make it upside down near the temple and after the vow is completed, you have to come back to the temple and make a straight vow from the wheat.

Zanzari Waterfall

Nature & Parks
Waterfalls
A series of cascades on a wide, rocky riverbed, with pools for swimming, accessed via a short hike.
Had an amazing one-day picnic with friends at Zanjari Waterfall! 🌿💦 The place is absolutely beautiful, especially during the monsoon season — truly a must-visit. The waterfall looks stunning, but do stay away from getting too close to the water during monsoon as the flow is very strong and can be risky. We enjoyed some hot Maggi near the waterfall which made the experience even better. There were also camel rides nearby, which added a fun touch to the trip. You can also visit the Utkanteshwar Mahadev Temple, which is close by and worth seeing. One small tip: carry your own snacks and drinking water, as there are no major restaurants on the way to the waterfall. Overall, it was a wonderful day out in nature, and I’d highly recommend this spot for a short getaway with family or friends. 🌧️🌲
Yashraj J — Google review
This location is undoubtedly good spot to explore during the monsoon season. The natural beauty is breathtaking, with lush greenery enveloping the entire area, offering a refreshing escape from city life. Do carry an ample supply of drinking water and food, as there are no shops or refreshment stalls available in the vicinity. The area is largely untouched and remote, which adds to its charm but also calls for basic preparation. Be prepared for a moderate trek of approximately 3-4 kilometers. The walk through nature is truly rejuvenating, though certain sections of the path can become quite slippery due to rain, so proper footwear is strongly recommended. A camel ride is available near the entry point and adds a unique, enjoyable element to the visit especially for families or those looking for something different.
Rinkesh K — Google review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ (4/5) Visited Zanzari Waterfall during the rainy season and it was a beautiful experience 🌿💦 The walk to reach the waterfall is quite long, but if you don’t want to walk much, you can also take a camel ride – I paid ₹400 for 2 people. The place feels very refreshing and peaceful once you reach the falls. 👉 Best time to visit: Rainy season 👉 Things to keep in mind: Be ready for a bit of walking, carry water, and wear comfortable shoes.
Hiral P — Google review
Such beautiful view and this place is for those people who likes to track because you have to travel by walk approximately 2/2.5 km from vehicle parking and as per name waterfall was not so much big but i think this was a peaceful location to enjoy. Though ,the waterfall was very little, the view was amazing must visit place 💗

Good place for weekend refreshment. Waterfall and dam is nearby. Can visited with 4wheel and 2wheel as well. From parking spot to waterfall need to walk atleast 2-3 km. In dry season or low rainfall, easily can walk towards waterfall. As it is a river only during monsoon or heavy rain, could be hard to reach waterfall due to water

"A beautiful and peaceful spot for nature lovers. Zanzari Waterfall offers scenic views, flowing water, and a calm vibe. Great place for a short trip or weekend getaway. Roads are decent, but best to visit in early morning or during monsoon for the best experience."
Akash V — Google review
A peaceful and scenic spot near Ahmedabad, perfect for a one-day getaway with friends or family. Best visited in monsoon or winter, but be cautious of slippery rocks and strong currents.
JIS H — Google review
A very peaceful and enjoyable place for one day trip, can spend the whole day in the nature then go there, just don’t go very near to the waterfall as there have been many accidents in the past where people have lost their lives. But if you stay safely then its a very good place to be at. Loved the vibe also you can get Maggie there as well. Village people will be there selling Maggie and tea. Avoid taking the camle ride coz it’s not that far from the parking lot.

Kamala Nehru Zoological Garden or Kankaria Zoo is a prominent place of attraction indeed. You can spend a whole day here as there are lot of activities/amusement available. Kankaria Carnival is an annual week-long cultural festival organised in last week of December since 2008. The festival include art, dance and music performances, social awareness programmes, games and activities for children. Entry Rs.10 per head. Closed on Mondays. Open: 4.00 am to 8.00 am for joggers. 9.00 am to 10.00 pm for general public. ****

Absolutely loved it. The lake is very beautiful and amazing. It has few entry points but not all of them have parking option available. There are so many activities to do in the lake. Lots of food options. Lots of amazing activities. The train is very amazing, it gives you a one round about tour of a lake. In addition with that, it has flower garden, fishes to see and joy to experience.

Great place for a fun outing with family or friends! Kankaria Talav has something for everyone — toy train, zoo, kids' play areas, food stalls, and a beautiful lake view. It's clean, well-maintained, and lively in the evenings. Best to visit during sunset for a nice walk around the lake. Good spot for kids and couples too!

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.

Vijay P — Google review
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 Riverfront

Sabarmati Riverfront in Ahmedabad is a must-visit destination, offering a variety of attractions and activities. The iconic Sabarmati Ashram, located on the river's shores, is a significant historical site where Mahatma Gandhi spent several years. It now serves as a museum showcasing objects related to India's fight for independence. The riverfront promenade features parks, boating facilities, zip-line amusements, and markets.
Narmada river front is an absolute beauty. It seems like we are in a European country. Best time is to visit in evening or after sunset and take a stroll here. They are provide rented bicycle, scooter and even stakes to enjoy with friends and family. Amazing place and a must visit for everyone coming to visit Ahmedabad.
Sourabh C — Google review
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.
Ansh R — Google review
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.

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!

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.

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.

Its stunning geometry and interplay of light and shadow make it a perfect, visually rich location for heritage photography.

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! 🌿✨

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.

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)

Good place for 1 day picnic with family. So many different rides and activities to do for all age group. There's a water park inside which itself will take atheist a half day. Food stalls at regular interval. Greenery is well maintained. Ticket price 150 INR. Charges of rides not included in entry ticket fees. Large parking area.

Bliss Aqua World Resort

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

The history of the temple is beautiful, and it is well maintained also just bcoz of birds the place is little stinking. 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.

Modhera Sun Temple

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
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.

An amazing monument built before 1000 years is a must visit place for everyone. This temple is a perfect example of extreme engineering and technology before 1k years. The entire campus kept neat and clean. The whole structure was built on sand stones and is located right on the tropic of cancer. Do understand the history of this temple with the help of registerd guide which was available there and will charge 500 Rs per group which is quite reasonable. Overall a must must visit place for every Indian.

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.

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.

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.

Holi Parshwnath Mandir. The location and Dharamshala with the facilities are nothing less than 5 star. The Temple and the rooms and spotlessly clean. Entire Premises is top notch well maintained. The Bhojanshala has Satvik Jain food only. The Jinalay is very peaceful and divine.

Beautiful and peaceful Jain temple with high-class architecture and intricate marble carvings. The entire campus is extremely well-maintained with top-notch cleanliness. The spiritual atmosphere is truly divine. Rooms available for stay are clean, spacious, and comfortable — both AC and non-AC options. Dharamshala staff is helpful, and food facilities are good. A must-visit place for Jain devotees and architecture lovers alike.

Sundha Mata temple is a nearly 900-year-old temple of Mother goddess Chamunda situated on a hilltop called Sundha, located at longitude 72.367°E and latitude 24.833°N, in Jalore District of Rajasthan, India. It is 64 km (40 mi) from Mount Abu and 20 km (12 mi) from the town of Bhinmal.[1] Geography At 1,220 m (4,000 ft) height in the Aravalli ranges on Sundha mountain there is a temple of thegoddess Chamunda Devi, worshipped as Sundha Matha by devotees. It is 105 km (65 mi) from district headquarters and 35 km (22 mi) from sub divisional Bhinmal. This place lies in Raniwara tehsil in the mid-east of Malwara to Jaswantpura Road near Dantlawas village. Many devotees from Gujarat and Rajasthan and the rest of India visit it. The environment here is fresh and attractive. The waterfalls flows year-round at the mountain. Many communities of different castes established community centres for devotees, and there are very good facilities to stay at the hilltop at night and worship Chamunda. Architecture Sundha Mata temple is made up of white marble, the pillars reminiscent of the art of Abu's Dilwara temples pillars. An idol of goddess Chamunda stands under the huge stone. Here Chamunda's head is worshipped. It is said that the trunk of mother Chamunda are established in Korta and legs in Sundarla Pal (Jalore). In front of mother Chamunda a BhurBhuva Swaweshwar Shivling is established. In the main temple a duo idol of Shiva and Parvati, Ganesh's idol are considered very old and extinct. History In the temple premises there are three historically significant inscriptions that highlight the history of the region. The temple of Sundhamata was constructed by Dewal Pratiharas with the help of Imperial Chauhans of Jalore. The first inscription is from AD 1262, which describes victory of Chauhans and the downfall of Parmaras. The second inscription is from 1326, and the third one is from 1727. The Sundha inscriptions are of particular importance in historical sense — like the Harishen inscription or Delhi's Mehrauli pillar inscription. Sundha inscriptions throw light on the history of India. In ancient days worship in this temple was done by Nath Yogis. Emperor of the Sirohi state gave land of the "Sonani", "Dedol" and "Sundha ki dhani" villages to one of the Nath Yogi Rabad Nath Ji, who worshiped in Sundha Mata Temple at that time. After the death of one of the Nath yogi Ajay Nath ji, no one was there to do the worship so Ram Nath ji (Aayas of Mengalwa that time) was taken there to take the responsibility. The land of Mengalwa and Chitrodi villages were given to these Nath Yogis in ancient days by king of Jodhpur Maharaja Jaswant Singh. So Nath yogi of Mengalwa were called as "Aayas". After the death of Ram Nath ji, Badri Nath ji, pupil of Ram nath Ji became Aayas at Sundha Mata temple and took the responsibility of worship. He also looked after land of "Sonani", "Dedol" ,"Mengalwa" and "Chitrodi". As the time passed, no one was there to do all the management, so a trust (Sundha Mata Trust) was created to look after temple and manage tourism. Shri Nath Ji Soni Sahib of Jaisalmer, the royal jewellers of the Jaisalmer State was also one of the prominent devotee of Sundhamata, another form of Chamunda Mata in Bhinmal, Jalore. Sundha Mata is the Kuldevi of the Shrimali Brahman Sonar of Lahecha Gotra i.e. Nathani Sonar.

This temple is 900 year old temple located at the top of the mountain sundha that’s why also know as sundha mata temple . It’s in jalore district of Rajasthan. A must visit place for trekking and nature lovers. You can see mountains, waterfalls and many other temples in between the way to the temple . One thing is that u should be aware of monkeys they will try to snatch your things . If u are not able to climb it by mountain so you can also take ropeway to the temple . If u are going by stairs then u will find many local shop to buy things . There will be a little bit crowded at temple . Sunrise and sunset view from the top is the best thing u will ever see . Don’t forget to climb sand dune that are at the back of the temple . From the top of the sand dune you will be able to see view of jungle and temple . I visited this temple in rainy season and on weekday

Worth a visit if you are not visiting any other Sand Dunes of Rajasthan.. is about a kilometer stretch of sand dune/hill.. Nice to experience sand.. However it is littered with plastic and broken liquor bottles, need to search for clean patches.. local government should ensure cleanliness of the only sand patch they have to promote tourism. Will get rickshaws from the railway station area.

Is this the whole desert ? No its a small part of what is a rapidly diminishing sand dune. You can drive to the top or climb it. I did both. What the place is for sure is a great place to view the sunset.

Mahabar sand dunes is not in large space but good to explore both in sunset and sunrise time. Its 1.5 km distance from Kushal vatika jain chitamani parshvnath temple and also one hotel Sanchel fort. It is away from city traffic and very peaceful spot for spending beautiful time with families and friends. No activities their as it remains peaceful. Enjoyed a lot in climbing sand dunes at sunset time and you can see the beautiful city in the shadow of sun , view is quite breathtaking and adorable.. A large area covered with Sand carpet formation leaves you unforgettable memories here. In the morning time you can visit from the top by car and get another view of sand dunes .

Sights & Landmarks
Ancient Ruins
The Kiradu Historical Temple, dating back to the 11th century, is a collection of five intricately carved temples dedicated to Hindu gods and apsaras. Although largely forgotten, these temples were constructed by the vassals of the Chaulukya monarchs during the Parmar Era. The best-preserved structure is the Someshvara temple, devoted to Shiva. These ruins showcase impressive architecture, scientific knowledge, and skilled craftsmanship.
Amazing ancient group of temples. Mostly ruins except three temples which are intact. Very Picturesque. We hired a guide who explained everything. The best thing is people don't know about this place so it was not crowded at all. Infact we were the only group when we arrived. Entry - 50 per adult

This group of Kiradu temples near Barmer is an example of art which will make people astonished. This is very old historical group of temples situated in Kiradu, Rajasthan founded by Parmar kingdom in the 11th century. It is surprising how they even exist today. Five temples still are there, biggest of them is Someswar temple. Some of the artwork is destroyed by attackers. Still what remains is amazing. It is not much famous and people don't visit this place. However this is worth visiting. Now Rajasthan Government is repairing these temples and creating connecting roads which will facilitate people to visit them. I request all to visit these temples.

This is a historical temple of 12th century which is very much influenced by the design of Ajaygarh Fort in Khajuraho and Bhuteshwar. Entry fee is Rs. 50. Nearest railway station is Jasai and Bhachbhar. My Instagram account =solosanyasi YouTube channel = solosanyasi

Although it is not very famous it is quite a heaven for people who are interested in history , art and culture ,this place situated around 40 kms from Barmer. It's an archaeological site now which was inhabited around 800 years back. Since then it's much of a ruin only. There are many local and historical stories attached to this place. It's a must visit place if one's around Barmer. People go further to Rann of Ridhana from here which falls on the same route. So quite a few things can be covered once someone is on this route.

Old monuments, which are not properly protected. But you can see a good views here. Real nature beauty , Various type of sparrows, grey ,blue , I have seen and enjoyed their humming sound. And also you can see many peacocks are running around like their home and very beautiful place. And some hill and monuments are damaged and kept aside. You can spend your time evening 4 to 7 for better.

Sam Sand Dunes Camp Jaisalmer is a desert resort offering furnished tents with en suite bathrooms, camel safaris, village tours, and jeep safaris. Located on the outskirts of Jaisalmer in the Desert National Park, it provides an ideal setting for leisurely trekking and a break from urban life. Guests have praised the lovely rooms and surroundings, helpful owner, and excellent service.
Jaisalmer and Barmer are world famous for their national desert parks whereas Sam situated in Jaisalmer is famous for its beautiful sand dunes and desert safari. While camping in Sam this Safari by 4×4 vehicles especially Jeeps giving an opportunity to have a thrilling ride on the ups and downs naturally created in the dessert. The flying sand forms various shapes while riding with the high speed on the sharp turns on the high sand dunes excite one to enjoy this safari in new ways. Many tourists were enjoying this safari before sunset. It seemed as if a magical world had been established on these lifeless sand dunes. After this safari, I enjoyed camel rides which was extremely entertaining. There were some women and girls from nearby areas also there, dancing with whom was a different kind of fun. I got the opportunity to talk with many tourists and friendship also grew. There was a small stall here from where we got packed drinking water and tea.

The camp itself was good, the service and rooms met our expectations. but the big letdown was the traditional dance show. The dancers looked completely uninterested and seemed to just go through the motions. It was obvious they were just waiting for the end of the program so guests would join them on the floor and they could collect tips. that was the only time they showed any enthusiasm. The performance was so lackluster it ruined our evening. Even though they wore traditional clothes, we didn’t see any real traditional dance, just a few seconds of dancing followed by standing around or doing unrelated movements. It definitely didn’t feel authentic or enjoyable.​ ruined our evening. the owners should look into this matter.

I had the pleasure of staying at Desert Camp Jaisalmer with my family during New Year's Eve, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! 🎉 From the moment we arrived, everything was taken care of. The facilities were top-notch, and we had everything we needed to feel comfortable. The staff, especially the caretaker, were incredibly polite and attentive, making sure all our needs were met. 🙏 The food was absolutely mind-blowing! 🤤 Every meal was packed with flavors, offering both local Rajasthani delicacies and other delicious options. It was a feast for the senses! 🍴 One of the highlights was the cultural dance program. 💃 It added so much charm and tradition to the evening, and we all loved watching the performances under the starry desert sky. 🌌 We were also treated to a personal bonfire 🔥, making the night even more magical and cozy. What made this place even more special was that it caters exclusively to families. There were no disturbances from bachelor parties or noisy groups, which ensured a peaceful and pleasant atmosphere throughout our stay. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Overall, Desert Camp Jaisalmer is a perfect spot for a family vacation. With great food, excellent hospitality, and a tranquil environment, it’s a place we’ll definitely return to! Highly recommend it for anyone looking to experience the desert in comfort and style. 🌟🌵

If you’re visiting Jaisalmer, the Sam Dunes Desert is an absolute must-see! Located 45 km from the city, it offers an unforgettable desert experience. You can easily book a cab for a round trip, which costs around ₹2300. I highly recommend booking a desert camp in advance for a hassle-free stay. The Sunrise Desert Resort camp we stayed at was only about 10 km from the dunes, and they also arranged for our 4x4 Thar ride to the desert for ₹4500, though prices can be negotiated down from the initial ₹8000. The desert safari package includes a thrilling ride to the desert and offers a variety of activities such as parasailing, camel rides, and desert buggy rides. Keep in mind, though, that all activities are extra. Make sure to pack your own food and drinks, as there are no facilities available once you’re out in the desert. If you’re planning on driving there in your own vehicle, ensure it’s suitable for desert terrain to avoid any issues. Once in the desert, you’ll have about 30 minutes to explore, take photos, and enjoy the surroundings. There are photographers available to capture your moments, with photos and reels costing ₹20 and ₹50 respectively. Upon returning to your camp, a camel ride to the Sunset Point is included in the safari package (about 1.5 km). Be aware, though, that the camel handlers may try to sell you an additional ride into the desert for ₹1500. You can either take it or just enjoy the sunset from the point. While they may rush you towards the end, take your time to savor the view—it’s worth it! Overall, it’s a fantastic experience, and despite a few extra charges here and there, it’s definitely one of the highlights of a Jaisalmer trip. Enjoy your desert adventure!
