Points of Interest & Landmarks
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.

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.

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.

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.

Nilkanthdham at Poicha is a spiritual and architectural gem. Nestled on the banks of the holy Narmada river, the temple complex feels serene the moment you step in. 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. Parking is well organised, and there’s a strong sense of spiritual energy that refreshes the soul. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a peaceful spiritual retreat or a family outing

Nishkalank Mahadev Temple

Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
Nestled in the serene waters off the coast of Koliyak near Bhavnagar, Gujarat, the Nishkalank Mahadev Temple is a captivating shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva. This unique temple is partially submerged during high tide and becomes accessible on foot when the tide recedes. The experience of witnessing the sea gradually enveloping this sacred site is truly mesmerizing; it’s essential to time your visit right—ideally around four hours after high tide—to fully appreciate its charm.
What an experience. Not much crowd. A walk in sand slurry from the beach to the waters. The view, the feeling the serenity, everything spiritual about it. The added advantage of the time of visit - evening - 30 min before sunset and on a beach - a perfect time (gaudhuli) for doing Pooja - was the bonus. Must Must visit. Again & again.
Gopal A — Google review
You’ll need to walk about 500 meters from the mainland to reach this temple, but it’s totally worth it. The temple has five Shivlings where abhishek is performed, and there’s usually a pandit sitting there for guidance and blessings. The scenery around is really nice — we even caught a few tiny fish nearby! Tips: Be careful while walking, as there can be bits of glass on the path. Try to walk on dry sand if possible for an easier and safer walk. A calm, spiritual spot with a lovely natural vibe — definitely worth visiting.
Saraswathi V — Google review
Nishkalank Mahadev Temple in the Sea: This small temple, with a Shivling, submerges under sea water during high tide and reappears during low tide. It was our first time witnessing sea water slowly rising, gradually covering the Shivling and eventually reaching the shore—about 750 meters to 1 km away. Visiting this place at the right time is a must to truly experience its uniqueness. We reached at the perfect time—2:45 PM. By 3:00 PM, we noticed the water level beginning to rise, slowly filling the area. Around 3:20 PM, people started warning everyone to return to the shore. While walking back, we saw that nearly a quarter of the path was already submerged—the dry path we had used just minutes ago was now under water. Words can’t do full justice—this is something that must be experienced in person.

🙏 om nama shivaya 🙏 Nishkalank Mahadev Manidir visible only during low tide and submerged during high tide of sea. Midst of sea about 0.75 km from sea shore. During low tide we can offer pooja by walking there.

Very long back in time, pandavas killed their brothers in a battle and due to that got brahmahathi dosha, to nullify the dosha, they implanted 5 lingas and worshipped. Here sea water recede at a particular time and reveal the lingas. We have to dredge some time to reach the lingas. In the evening water closes the view of lingas. This natural process, happening in the kuch area is utilised by the ethereals. Nice place for a spiritual experience.

The Nishkalank Mahadev Temple in Bhavnagar is a unique sea temple located about one kilometer into the Arabian Sea, off the coast of Koliyak Beach.

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.

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
Neha K — Google review
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.

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

There are entertainment zones, shopping zones, exhibition zones, food zones available for passangers. The state owned public transport facilities provided by GSRTS. The parking area is good & well maintained.

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

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 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.

Pavagadh Hills

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

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

A prominent hill station and pilgrimage site, Pavagadh Hill Rises to about 800 meters, it is a part of the Aravalli Ranges and is known for the ancient Kalika Mata Temple one of the 51 sakhtipeethas at its summit, dedicated to Goddess Kali. The hills hold historical significance with ruins of the Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, featuring forts, mosques, and stepwells from the 8th to 16th centuries. The area was once the capital of the Chauhan Rajputs and later ruled by the Solankis and Mughals. Geologically, the hills are of volcanic origin, offering scenic views, trekking trails, and a ropeway for easy access to the temple. The Pavagadh Mahakali Fair during Navratri is a major event. The region also has Jain temples and is surrounded by lush forests, making it a blend of spiritual, historical, and natural attractions.

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

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

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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ (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.

"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.

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.

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

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

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

Sabarmati Ashram

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

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

A quiet afternoon spent walking the peaceful grounds of the Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad. It’s impossible not to feel the weight and grace of history here. Standing in the simple room where Mahatma Gandhi lived is a powerful reminder that the greatest change often starts with the greatest simplicity. A truly humbling and necessary visit.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The park is surrounded by lush greenery, making it a peaceful retreat from urban life. Tirupati Rushivan has a variety of attractions, including thrilling rides for kids and adults alike.

For those seeking adventure, there are options like ziplining, boating, and rope activities. These add a dash of excitement to the visit. Affordable entry tickets and activities. Suitable for all age groups. Clean and green environment. Ample parking space. Can get crowded on weekends and holidays. Tirupati Rushivan is a great choice for a day trip with family or friends. It combines fun, learning, and adventure, ensuring there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re looking to relax in nature, enjoy thrilling rides, or explore cultural replicas, this theme park delivers a memorable experience. Some areas might require better maintenance. Would recommend visiting during weekdays for a more peaceful experience! One more suggestion, keep sufficient cash. They don’t accept online payment inside the park for activities. They just denied.
Rock — Google review
Tirupati Rushivan was, in one word, a ‘fine’ experience. It is definitely a good pick for children, offering a variety of activities to keep them entertained. However, the afternoon heat makes it quite difficult for them to play comfortably, as the scorching sun can be overwhelming. The rides, unfortunately, felt too basic for adults while at the same time appearing somewhat risky for children. A more balanced selection of attractions would greatly improve the experience, catering to both age groups in a safer and more engaging manner. One of the highlights, however, was the beautiful display of bougainvillaea. The vibrant, colourful flowers added a charming touch to the surroundings, making for a delightful visual treat. On the downside, the washroom facilities were absolutely dreadful. This is an area that certainly needs urgent improvement to enhance visitors' overall comfort.

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

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.

There is a huge park where beautiful birds and other small animals can be seen playing around , it also has a very sacred water body adjacent to the Temple Complex and the whole Temple Complex communicates a whole lot of stories of the Rich Knowledge and Glory of India

It was my second visit to this place. Before years there was no proper parking facility. But now, a good parking infrastructure with electric vehicle charging facility is developed. Even cafeteria has been constructed. Overall a worthy place to visit.

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.

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

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.

Museums
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!
