I have a request for everyone please don't litter here.

Good place to spend time, The beach is somewhat better than other.. If you are planning to visit the fort then you have to climb the walls as the entrance is closed. But it's a must visit place.
Kelwa Beach is beautiful and very clean. It’s peaceful since not many people visit,😍 making it perfect for a relaxing day or quality time with your partner 😅. There are also nearby hotels and restaurants that are budget-friendly, which makes the visit even more convenient. 🥰
On 4th October, 2025 it was less crowded.
This is almost 40kms inside from Highway and road was not very good.
Beach was clean i.e no plastic waste or bottles found.
Washroom closed at 6pm. No facilities!
The beach is huge in length and size and we can experience a clean and beautiful air and atmosphere,the beach is not that busy and there are few crowds.Me and my friends visited during the rainy season the atmosphere was really great we experienced light rains and strong winds .One negative point is that the beach is not maintained and dirty.So if you want to calm yourself do visit the beach next time
Nice clean beach but i don't know why there is entry fees.
On beach there were many activities were available like camel ride, rough terrain bike ride and horse cart ride.
Near to beach there are many small outlet who sell eatables like vada pav bhaji pav, cold drink and water.
All at nominal price.
Kelwa Beach provides a picturesque setting with its stunning sunset views, camel and horse rides, and abundant coconut trees. Winter is the recommended time to visit, but swimmers should be cautious due to the salty water. Proper eye protection and swimwear are essential, especially for children. Overall, it's a serene destination for those seeking relaxation and natural beauty, with precautions necessary for a safe and enjoyable experience.
Very nice beach ⛱️ Sitla devi temple

Govardhan Ecovillage
Mentioned on
Ashram
Sights & Landmarks
Govardhan Ecovillage, located in Vada, offers a serene retreat amidst nature. The polite staff addresses guests as 'Prabhuji' and the visit includes the opportunity to explore the Sri Sri Radha Vrindavanbehari temple and Sri Sri Radha Madanmohan Temple, where visitors can enjoy bhajans. The scenic beauty of mountains, lakes, and greenery provides a peaceful atmosphere.
I recently visited Govardhan Ecovillage for the second time, and just like the first, it was a beautiful, soulful experience. My first visit was with my parents when we stayed at the Vrindavan Cottage, and I remember how peaceful and rejuvenating it felt. This time, we went with our entire family and chose to stay at the Madhuvan Hermitage, which came with air conditioning and an attached bathroom a perfect blend of comfort and rustic charm.
During our first visit, we had explored their spiritual tours, which were thoughtfully curated and left a deep impact. This time, we attended the evening Aarti and jaap (chants) meditation, both of which felt deeply grounding and peaceful. We also got the chance to witness the Yamuna Aarti, it was absolutely beautiful and soothing, a truly heart-touching experience.
Govardhan Ecovillage has truly become one of our go-to destinations in Palghar. Surrounded by lush greenery and steeped in a spiritual atmosphere, it has a unique aura that immediately calms your senses.
There are two restaurants inside the premises one near the Mandir and another closer to the stay area. Both offer delicious, freshly prepared meals, and everything is managed with great care and attention to detail. This time, our visit coincided with Ekadashi, so the meals were aligned with the Ekadashi menu. Since we had checked in advance, we were prepared for it. But for others planning a visit, I’d definitely recommend confirming the meal plan beforehand, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the Ekadashi dietary restrictions.
The rooms were exceptionally clean, and the staff was courteous and always ready to help. The energy of the place is incredibly grounding and spiritual, it truly offers a peaceful escape from the chaos of everyday life.
This time, we also got a chance to enjoy the swimming pool, which is quite spacious and well-maintained. They follow specific time slots for pool access, so you may want to check in advance. During our last visit, we had tried the spa services, and that too was a lovely experience.
Overall, every visit to Govardhan Ecovillage feels wholesome a perfect combination of comfort, spirituality, and connection with nature. Whether you’re going for a spiritual retreat or just a peaceful break, it’s a place that leaves you feeling centered and renewed. I’m already looking forward to going back again.

The 20 of us visited Govardhan Eco Village on Saturday.. it was ekadashi and we all had a blissful trip n darshan at the madanmohan ji temple of Shri Krishna. This place is well maintained and is a huge place filled with greenery. The forest walk was the best part of this village. Each section had tales and statues depicting Shri Krishna birth and all that he achieved or faced in his life. The prabhuji's act as a guide n share small stories n folk lore along the way at each important area there....its lush green and truly serene. Away from the hustle n bustle of our concrete jungle. The place has free prasad at lunch time at Lalita bhavan....and there is also a paid canteen area which has a wide variety of eatables .There's a gaushala.....farm produce being sold like honey..ghee. .turmeric...millets...and vegetables .....a nursery which sells wonderful plants too at reasonable rates......there are innumerableplants, trees n flowers n fruits in the forest.. .the people there are all cooperative and polite n very respectful.... ISKCON is maintaing this area well. There are also rooms available for people who wish to stay there over the week or weekend....it has a Satwik environment n Satwik meals too. The best was the Krishna chanting, n jaap.....n later after 6pm the Yamuna aarti .......
Only request is for the management there to make arrangements for taking visitors in the travel buggy/ cart especially senior citizens who cannot walk long distances n experience the eco village....as now the service is fr those who have rooms there....all of us enjoyed the trip n the amazing day we spent there.
The ambience is great -- full of trees, etc. Forest like. The views are fantastic. They attempt to depict krishnas life, but not effective. Food is ok. No chance to get some decent Chai.
The place is located near manor, in lush green area developed in the surrounding. The rooms are quite well maintained with proper ambience. The room size is good enough apart from non ac room. The spiritual schedule is worth following. Golf carts are available to and fro from the rooms. Swimming pools is good and maintained but the changing rooms could be well maintained. 2 govindas restaurant are available one within the residential area and another near the main temple. The main temple is under construction with an upgradation process. A really worth experience at Govardhan ecovillage.
Peaceful place to spend time. The scenery and spiritual vibe is amazing.
Govardhan Ecovillage is a divine place filled with peace and positivity. Surrounded by nature. A blissful experience worth visiting
It is excellent place must visit
You can catch a bus from Palghar station till Mastan Naka or From Vasai highway can catch a sharing van to Palghar.
The location is far but is worth going.The prasad is delicious and healthy as well.
I was really looking forward to a peaceful and refreshing stay at Govardhan Eco Village, but unfortunately, my experience wasn’t as good as expected. Food was not available throughout the day, which was quite inconvenient. Also, for guests who regularly consume regular tea, it would be nice to have that option available — only herbal tea was served during my stay.
What was most disappointing was how the staff woke us up abruptly for check-out, which completely disturbed our sleep. We were there to relax and unwind, but this really defeated the purpose of a peaceful getaway.
Overall, the property and concept are good, but I hope the management pays attention to these small yet important details to improve the guest experience.

Dahanu Beach is a peaceful, uncrowded spot perfect for a short getaway. The long stretch of clean shoreline and calm Arabian Sea make it ideal for relaxing walks or simply sitting by the water. The beach isn’t overly commercialized, so you can enjoy nature without much disturbance.
Sunsets here are beautiful, with the sky turning shades of orange and reflecting on the sea — a perfect moment for photos. The nearby Casuarina tree forest adds to the charm, offering shade and a refreshing environment for bike rides or strolls.
Overall, Dahanu Beach is great for those looking for quiet vibes away from the usual tourist rush. Best to visit on weekdays to avoid crowds.
It's a beautiful place. It soothes the mind. And I sit there like that for hours. It's a beautiful view of the ocean. A serene atmosphere and the sound of the ocean's waves.
Its a good beach to chill and swim but can be better in terms of the cleanliness.
However i would love to go back here
Visited during the rains. Green 💚 lush grass .. great place to walk n see the sunset. Cleanliness needs to be enhanced. But I think we lack civil sense.
Dahanu Beach is a beautiful and quiet spot . It is clean, calm, and less crowded compared to other beaches. You can enjoy long walks along the shore or just sit and relax under the coconut trees. The sunset view is amazing, and there are small stalls nearby for snacks and chai. Perfect place for a peaceful break away from city noise.
Only to sit/walk and relax.
Not recommended if you are planning to have fun in water, no toilet and bathroom facilities available on beach.
A beautiful place for beach picnic. Water and beach is cleaner than other beaches in the area.
It wasn't crowded when we visited in the afternoon. You can sit on benches, have snacks from the stalls or bring your own food.

Vallonne Vineyards Pvt. Ltd. is a charming boutique winery located in the serene village of Kavnai near Nashik, offering picturesque views of the vineyard, reservoir, and hills. The passionate vintners take pride in producing premium French-styled wines and are known for their informative tours and wine tasting sessions. Visitors can also enjoy a delightful dining experience at the lake-facing restaurant by Malaka Spice and even stay at the boutique vineyard hotel.
This was our first visit to the place. We heard through our one of our friends. We stayed for 2 nights. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The view to the lake was the best part. Mornings and evenings were very pleasant. Obviously the harvesting season was over however it was still worth the stay.
The team restaurant manager - Firoz and his team - Akram, Haq and the chef's too were great. Great service and brilliant food. The menu is small but precise. The wine tour along with Sanket was great too.
Would surely come during the monsoons.

We stayed as a group off 11 people. And everyone loved it! The staff were very welcoming and both the dinner and breakfast were fantastic. We are very thankful to the wine maker who stayed longer than usual to provide us with a wine tour as we arrived later than expected. Very informative and interesting to hear of the introduction of wine integrating into India's culture.
We would highly recommend as a lovely stay off. Thank you to all the staff for having us.
We came here for lunch. Chipotle chicken (starter), Penne Rose pasta (pink sauce) and Orange Mojito are really delicious. But, pizza is really bad. We had bad experience of pizza with size and taste. Don’t order spinach cigars also.
The place is also peaceful but many house flies which ruined the experience. SULA and Soma are way better than this place.
It is very far from city and the road is not well constructed. Limited slots for wine tours and tasting. Either call them before hand or don’t waste your time, fuel and efforts.
Dessert wine was also not available. Asked to contact after a month.
Vallonné Vineyards: An Underrated Boutique Gem with Breathtaking Views!
Seeking a vineyard experience led me to the stunning and, frankly, underrated boutique hotel, Vallonné Vineyards, and it turned out to be the best decision! The property is absolutely beautiful.
We snagged a lake-facing room, and the view was breathtaking, easily the highlight of the stay. The room itself was cozy and cute, perfect for unwinding.
The staff here deserve immense praise. They are super friendly, always smiling, and genuinely make you feel like family. Kudos to the entire team for their impeccable hospitality!
The food was another huge win. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious, with a rich and fabulous spread. Dining outdoors with that morning view during breakfast was a dream.
A special mention: we craved kanda bhajiya, and the generous chef and staff not only catered to our out-of-the-blue request but delivered one of the best bhajiyas we have ever had! Seriously, Chef, thank you!
Finally, the wines and the tour were excellent. We loved learning about the winemaking process, and they clearly craft lovely wines that cater to every taste.
I absolutely, highly recommend Vallonné Vineyards. If you need a beautiful, relaxing, and delicious getaway, make the most of it right here!
We had an awesome 👌 experience of dinning at this place with family. The chef is preparing dishes that are very very delicious and authentic.
Kudos 👏 to the serving staff for prompt service. We had a surreal time and a life long experience.
A Scenic and Flavourful Escape at Vallonné Vineyards
Our visit to Vallonné Vineyards, nestled amidst the tranquil Sahyadri hills near Nashik, was nothing short of spectacular. This boutique vineyard beautifully combines nature, wine, and gourmet dining, making it a must-visit for anyone seeking a relaxed yet indulgent experience.
From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted with breathtaking views of the backwaters of the Mukhne Dam, lush green slopes, and endless vineyards stretching into the horizon. The setting is serene, romantic, and almost meditative — perfect for slow, soulful moments.
We started with a guided wine tasting, which was both informative and delightful. Their selection of wines — especially the Rosé and Anokhee Syrah — was top-notch. You could taste the care and craftsmanship in every sip. The team was passionate and knowledgeable, walking us through the process and flavour profiles with genuine enthusiasm.
The restaurant, Malaka Spice at Vallonné, was a pleasant surprise. Serving Pan-Asian cuisine with a twist, every dish was beautifully plated and packed with flavour. We tried the Thai curry, stir-fried noodles, and a lovely grilled fish — each dish perfectly complemented by our wine selections. Dining here, overlooking the vineyards and water, felt like being in a European countryside estate.
The property also offers charming boutique rooms, ideal for a romantic getaway or a peaceful retreat. We didn’t stay overnight this time, but it’s on our list for the next visit.
Whether you’re a wine enthusiast, a foodie, or someone who simply appreciates beautiful landscapes, Vallonné Vineyards delivers a complete experience. It’s a hidden gem where every element — wine, food, views, and hospitality — comes together seamlessly. Highly recommended for couples, small groups, or solo travellers looking to sip and unwind in style.
The view and location is amazing.
But the drive to the location is little rough around 200m.
The wine taste is very decent.
"An exceptional luxury experience from start to finish. Impeccable service, and attention to every detail made this stay truly unforgettable. A perfect blend of comfort, elegance, hygiene and indulgence—highly recommended for those seeking a top-tier escape."

The Pandavleni Caves existence dates back to some 2000 years.The cave complex comprised of numerous water tanks that were chiselled into rock and large caves. Several sculptures of Buddha are also situated in these caves.Some of the caves are large and contain numerous chambers,these rock-cut caves served as a viharas or monasteries. They contain interesting sculptures.
Great place to visit..... historical caves are repaired at few places.......
Lots of Buddha statues......with nice carving......on walls.....
You will surely love this place......
The environment is also very clean....After reaching the top of the mountain......any one can see the whole city..
Attractive caves, nice to see and study. Very cool place. Don't miss when you are in Nashik.
Best place to visit while in Nashik, ancient Buddhist caves carved in mountain.
And this place is popular for small trek also.
Except cleanliness rest all natural and good
Awesome place ...I suggest please come in this place
The pandavleni caves are a prime attraction of tourists even foreigners. These are the caves where Pandavs held shelter during their vanvas in the age of Mahabharata. There are around 20 caves here. They have inscriptions on caves. Also there are ancient made sculptures in them. It is a proof of our divine and great history.

It’s a nice spot whether you’re with friends or family.
The wine truck and gift shop add a quirky touch.
Truly a place where you feel the Sula life!

I recently visited Sula Vineyards with my family 🍇👫, and honestly, it was a wonderful experience even though none of us are wine drinkers 🚫🍷. Many people think Sula is only about wine tasting, but that’s not true — there’s plenty to enjoy without touching a wine glass.
The lush green vineyards 🌿, open landscapes 🏞️, and calm ambience ✨ make it an excellent spot for a relaxing getaway. The property is very well-maintained, with lots of open spaces to walk around, click photos 📸🌸, and simply enjoy the fresh air. It truly feels like an escape from the busy city life.
The entry fee is ₹1000 per person on weekends and ₹600 on weekdays 💰. The good part is that you get coupons of the same value, which can be redeemed inside at the restaurant or café 🍴. We used ours for food, and while the taste and quality were excellent 😋, the food items are a little on the expensive side 💸. Still, it balances out since the entry fee coupons cover a good part of the cost.
Since we didn’t opt for wine tasting, our time was spent exploring the vineyard, enjoying the atmosphere, and relaxing over a family meal. The only drawback was that service can be a bit slow ⏳, and yes, prices are slightly premium.
In short: Even if you don’t drink, Sula is still a beautiful, family-friendly place to visit — peaceful, scenic, and a memorable outing! 💫😊
Visited today on 6th October 25. Very very beautiful place to visit. May be no 1 place to visit in Nashik. Makes the Wine Capital of India earn its name. The place is very clean and well maintained. The prices is ₹1000 per head on weekends and 600 on weekdaysfor entry. One can expend this rs 600 in restaurant or wine tasting vum factory visit. The tour is really good and the tasting is fun with well learned guide. 7 types of wines given for tasting.
Sula Vineyards is an absolutely nashik to-do destination, especially if you visit during the late afternoon or evening.
We visited on a sunny October evening, and the atmosphere was perfect. The sun setting over the vineyards cast a beautiful golden glow, making for incredible photos and a wonderfully relaxing experience. The expansive grounds are beautifully maintained, offering a tranquil escape from the city hustle.
We ordered food bites and enjoyed on the patio overlooking the rows of grapes. The energy in the evening is perfect—lively enough to feel festive, but peaceful enough to enjoy the view and conversation.
Whether you're a serious wine enthusiast or just looking for a beautiful spot to unwind and watch the sunset, Sula provides a top-notch experience. Highly recommended for a romantic evening or a chill gathering with friends
We visited Sula Vineyards on a public holiday, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience! On weekends and public holidays, the entry fee is ₹1000 per person, while on weekdays it’s ₹700, which you can fully redeem for food, shopping, or wine tasting—like a prepaid coupon.
The property is absolutely stunning, perfect for clicking beautiful pictures amidst the vineyards. We started our visit with a photo session and then headed for lunch. The food was good, though a bit on the expensive side.
Post lunch, we opted for the wine tasting and tour (₹700 per person). The tour started with a short video and a factory walkthrough, where the process was explained in detail by their knowledgeable guide. This was followed by a tasting session of six different wines, one after another, which really helped us decide which wine to buy.
Overall, Sula Vineyards is a must-visit place, whether with friends or family. It offers a perfect mix of scenic beauty, good food, and a delightful wine-tasting experience.
Visited Sula Vineyards and tasted 6 types of wines — the place was amazing and the overall experience was superb! 🍷 The ambiance and staff were great. However, there’s a small issue with their pricing. They provide ₹1000 worth of coupons (₹200 x 5), but for the vineyard factory visit and wine tasting ticket (₹700), only ₹600 can be redeemed, and ₹100 has to be paid extra. They don’t actually provide ₹100 coupons, which feels a bit misleading in their marketing. Otherwise, it’s a beautiful place and definitely worth visiting once!
Good place to unwind for people travelling to Nashik. Photography points are adequate. The wine tour is good and tasting is a personal choice, since wine is an acquired taste. Their dessert wine Moscato is quite fruity and tastes good.
Cover charges are Rs. 1000 on weekends and 600 on weekdays. Wine tasting is Rs. 600 inclusive of tour, only winery tour is 200/-
In house restaurants are good but a bit on the pricier side.
If you're in Nashik, a visit to Sula Vineyard is an experience you just can't miss. The place has a vibe that instantly makes you feel like you've stepped into a different world - calm, green, and full of life. The entry fee is ₹600 per person, and the best part is that you can fully redeem it at the restaurant, wine shop, or for wine tasting. In fact, Sula proudly says that for many visitors, their first-ever wine tasting happens right here.
Walking through the vineyard feels exciting at every step from the giant wine bottle installations and the upside-down wine pyramid, to the quirky cycles and the beautiful grape farms, it's a place where you'll keep wanting to take pictures. The wine shop is airy and well set up, while the restaurant upstairs is the perfect spot to sit back with a glass of wine. We tried their pizza with wine in the afternoon, and with the vineyard view stretching out in front of us, it felt refreshing and peaceful.
Overall, Sula Vineyard is more than just about wine - it's about the whole atmosphere, the views, and the experience. Whether you're here for food, photos, or your first glass of wine, it's a place that will leave you smiling

Jampore is a very beautiful beach though water is muddy in rainy season. A lot of construction is still in progress and I am looking forward for its beautiful state. Also the weather here is very pleasant with cool and fresh breeze . Overall the experience was amazing !

Jampore Beach is a nice and calm spot to relax. The sand feels a bit muddy, but the beach is clean and easily accessible via steps. You’ll find plenty of horses around if you’re interested in rides or photos. Great place for a peaceful outing.
Iur visit to Jampore Beach in Daman was one of the most enjoyable parts of the trip, offering a refreshing mix of seaside charm, relaxation, and local flavor. Unlike the rocky stretches of Devka Beach, Jampore has a much wider and smoother shoreline, making it ideal for walking, sitting by the water, and enjoying the sea breeze.
On the day we visited, the weather was pleasant, though slightly humid, with gentle waves lapping against the shore. The expansive beach and calm surroundings created a soothing environment where we could unwind after a busy schedule. The atmosphere was lively, with tourists and families scattered across the stretch, yet it retained a sense of openness that didn’t feel crowded.
Jampore Beach is also known for its small eateries and stalls, and we enjoyed some quick bites and refreshing drinks while gazing at the sea. The casual, laid-back vibe makes it an excellent spot to spend quality time with colleagues, friends, or family. A few adventure activities were also available, but we preferred to keep it simple, walking barefoot on the sand and soaking in the natural serenity.
One highlight of our visit was relaxing at the beachside shacks, sipping on cool beverages, and letting the sea breeze take away the fatigue of travel. Watching the waves and engaging in light conversations made the experience even more memorable. As the day progressed, the beach grew livelier, with more tourists coming in to enjoy the late afternoon.
In all, Jampore Beach is a must-visit in Daman if you are looking for a calm yet vibrant seaside escape. With its clean stretch, good food options, and easygoing vibe, it perfectly captures the coastal charm of this small yet lively city.
Amazing beach with horse, camle rides availability. 🏖️🐴🐪
Too many activities near the beach. 🏖️🏄♂️🏊♂️
Developments by government is absolutely amazing near the beach. 👍🌟✨
Near to beach statue of mahadev located 🙏🕉️🛕
Although the beach looked dirty but the joggers' path or the corniche area looked pretty decent. A lot of construction is still in progress to pave the walking path.
Cleanliness needs to be improved.
The life guards were not permitting visitors to go in the beach area as due to monsoon, the beach was rough.
A lot of entries are there n ample parking space.
Jampore Beach is a serene coastal escape, located about 5 km from Moti Daman Jetty, known for its soft, often blackish or muddy-hued sand and tranquil vibes — a perfect retreat from city life
Lined with casuarina or palm-like groves, it offers plenty of shade, making it excellent for leisurely strolls, picnics, and sunsets at any time from late afternoon to evening.
Plenty of options offering both veg and non-veg delights — from vada pav, bhel, corn chaat to pomfret fry, prawns, and even coconut water with vodka — all at affordable prices

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

Must visit when in Saputara! 🌿💙🌊
Saputara Lake, located right at the centre of Saputara in Gujarat, is a large and charming waterbody that forms the heart of this hill station. Its vast size and calm waters create a relaxing atmosphere, making it a perfect spot to begin or end your sightseeing trip. Being centrally located, it’s easy to reach from anywhere in town and often becomes the most photographed place for visitors.
The surrounding landscape is excellent, with lush green hills, neatly kept walkways, and a refreshing natural vibe all around. I visited during the monsoon season, and the view of the lake was simply awesome—it was surrounded by drifting clouds, giving it a magical and almost dreamlike appeal. The gentle breeze, combined with the scenic backdrop, made it a truly memorable experience.
While the lake is peaceful on most days, it can get crowded during weekends and holidays, so planning your visit accordingly is a good idea. Whether you’re boating, strolling along the shore, or simply sitting and enjoying the view, the calmness of the place is best enjoyed when it’s less busy.
One of the most enchanting aspects of Saputara Lake is its night view. The shimmering reflections of lights on the water, combined with the cool evening air, make it a must-see after sunset. A night stroll by the lake is the perfect way to wrap up your day in Saputara. Visit in Night and Day time both.
Saputara Lake is naturally beautiful, but the overall experience wasn’t enjoyable. The place was very crowded, and it felt like there was hardly any space to relax or take in the view peacefully. On top of that, almost everything around the lake was costly—food stalls, boating tickets, even basic things like parking. The crowd and high prices really took away from the charm of the lake. It could be a nice spot if managed better, but right now it feels more commercial than relaxing.
Nice place to hang out.
There are too many nearby places to visit. Also number of sports activities are also available.
You need at least 2-3 days to explore and enjoy at saputara.
🌄 Lake + Garden + Boating ⛵
✨ Saputara Lake is the perfect destination for quality family time during the monsoon 🌧️. It's enveloped by lush trees 🌳, and both the lake and garden are well-maintained 🍃. Boating 🚣 is also an option here at a reasonable price, and I highly recommend trying it out. Enjoy a memorable day surrounded by nature at this lovely spot! 🤗
🌄 At sunset, the atmosphere becomes truly enchanting ✨, and you'll find the lake view to be particularly captivating. It's a great time to enjoy the scenic beauty of the place. 🌌
Saputara Lake is one of the most peaceful and scenic attractions in Saputara. Surrounded by green hills and a calm environment, it is an ideal spot to relax and enjoy nature. The lake is clean and well-maintained, and boating here is a wonderful experience, especially in the evening when the cool breeze and sunset create a beautiful view. There are also food stalls and small shops nearby, which add to the charm without disturbing the natural beauty. It is a great place for family outings, photography, or just spending quiet time with friends. Visiting Saputara is incomplete without enjoying the serenity of this lake.”
Pleasant view but boating experience was not good for solo person. But with a family of 4 or 6 will get a good condition paddle boat to enjoy the ride in Lake. Activities near Lake are good and variety of food options available.

Gira Waterfalls

Nature & Parks
Waterfalls
Gira Waterfalls is a stunning natural wonder located in Gujarat's hill station. This picturesque waterfall is most active during monsoon season, with a large flow of water that attracts visitors from all over. However, it is advisable to visit after monsoon season, preferably in October when the rain has subsided and the waterfall can be enjoyed fully. The area also boasts a shopping market where visitors can purchase unique local crafts and artifacts made of wood.
Gira Waterfalls is a gem in Dang region, dramatic during monsoons, serene post‑rain, and surrounded by verdant hills. It’s ideal for a nature getaway, family picnic, or photography trip. Just pack comfy shoes, timing awareness, and a mindset open to simple rural charm. Don’t forget your camera and maybe take home a handcrafted bamboo souvenir.
Nilkanth D — Google review
I visited Gira Dhodh Waterfall again in 2025 on a weekend with my family. The place is always beautiful, but this time the water flow was less compared to my visit in 2024, when it was truly majestic and full of force. Since I went on a weekend, the crowd was quite heavy, which is common at such popular spots.
The overall experience was still enjoyable. Around the waterfall area, there are many small stalls and shops selling souvenirs, handicrafts, and local gift items, which add to the charm of the visit.
There is also a restaurant and stay facility nearby. The food was fine, but the rooms were not very impressive – okay for a short stay but not something to expect high comfort from.
In short, Gira Dhodh is a nice place for a family outing or nature trip, especially during monsoon when the waterfall is at its best. If you want to enjoy it with fewer crowds, visiting on a weekday would be a better choice.
Giradodh Waterfall is a wonderful place to visit, especially during the monsoon season when nature is at its best 🌧️.
The experience begins right from the parking area — you have to leave your vehicle outside and walk inside to reach the waterfall.
This short walk through the greenery feels peaceful and refreshing, with the sound of birds and flowing water growing louder as you approach 🌿.
It’s a simple yet beautiful experience that lets you disconnect from the usual noise of city life and step into pure calmness surrounded by lush forest and fresh air.
When you finally reach the waterfall, the view is breathtaking 💦. The water gushes down powerfully, creating a cool mist all around, and the whole area looks alive with greenery and natural beauty 🌈. The atmosphere is quiet and soothing, perfect for nature lovers, photographers, or anyone looking for a peaceful escape. Parking outside and walking in actually makes the place cleaner and more preserved, which is a really good idea.
Giradodh Waterfall is truly worth visiting — a hidden gem that feels magical in the monsoon and leaves you refreshed every time.

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

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

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

VR Mall Surat is a class‑act shopping and entertainment destination in the city.
I visited on a weekday evening and was impressed by how spacious and clean it feels right from the lobby. The mall spans several floors with brands like Zara, H&M, Forever 21, Levi’s, and more.
I watched a movie at PVR (PXL format) — crisp visuals, powerful audio, and comfortable seats.
The gaming zone had over 50 arcade games and the dedicated kids’ play area was clean and secure.
Dining options were plentiful, with both local and global cuisines, and a food court that catered to diverse tastes.

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

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

The EME Temple in Vadodara is one of the most unique and peaceful places you can visit in the city. The temple has a very serene atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for anyone seeking peace and spiritual calm.
What makes the temple truly special is its modern design and architecture. Unlike traditional temples, this one has a distinct structure with symbolic elements representing different religions, which beautifully reflects the message of unity and harmony.
The surroundings are very well-kept, with greenery and a calm environment that instantly makes you feel relaxed. Whether you come here for prayer, meditation, or just to spend a few quiet moments, the temple offers a refreshing break from the busy city.
If you are visiting Vadodara, the EME Temple is a must-visit—not just for its spiritual significance but also for its architectural uniqueness and peaceful ambience.
The Dakshinamoorthy and Navgraha EME Temple is very Unique in design, very peaceful and Amazing Hindu temple dedicated to Devo ke Dev Mahadev 🔱.
The EME Temple was built in 1966 by the Electronics & Mechanical Engineers (EME) School of Indian Army and is maintained and run by the Army in Vadodara city of Gujarat.
Temple has 108 major archaeological stone statues circa 600-1600 CE of various Hindu deities. The statues are placed in various open spaces of the temple and attract a large number of students of architecture and archaeological studies.
Out of respect, we didn't click any pics instead of the temple.
1. The guards were very polite and humble to talk to.
2. There are many sculptures, and I request people not to touch them.
3. The gurudwara is one of its kind. Do not miss it.
4. Peaceful and very well maintained place.
5. You have to submit your identity proof. They will return it once you are done with your exit. There is no charge or fees.
The place is one of the unique temples located within the city of Vadodara! You can tell “ Hidden Gem” , the tranquil environment and beautifully managed premises that attract you lot more !! You can enter this place by giving your identity card to reception ( it’s mandatory)
The temple is unique with main deity as Dakshineshwar Shiva in form of Shiv Murti (rather than linga). The temple is located within the premises maintained by Indian Army and hence entry is regulated where you need to carry an Identity Card (License, PAN, Aadhar or such). Needless to mention that being maintained by Army it is very clean and crowd is managed well. The temple premises have various small shrines of multiple gods, Navgraha, Ganpati, Sai Baba, Buddha, etc.
I am visiting it since my childhood.
In the heart of the city, one of the oldest temple yet so esthetic, peaceful, calm and positive vibes around.
EME (Electrical & Mechanical Engineering Temple) or also known as Dakshinamurthy temple is under the preservense of EME. Hence one of the groupember must submit Photo ID proof with number of person taking entry and vehicle details. After that they'll allow you to take your vehicle in.

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

Pavagadh Kalika Temple is a revered and spiritually enriching destination situated atop the majestic Pavagadh Hill in Gujarat. As one of the Shakti Peethas, the temple holds immense religious significance, and its powerful energy is palpable the moment one steps inside. We recently visited during the monsoon season and felt like we were in heaven, surrounded by clouds everywhere. We took the ropeway to reach the temple, but there are options to trek up the hill or take the ropeway, a thrilling experience that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the landscape. The trek is steep but rewarding, with several small stalls and resting spots along the way, while the ropeway provides a comfortable ride, particularly for those who may find the trek challenging.
The temple complex is well-maintained, and local vendors selling prasad, souvenirs, and snacks are friendly and welcoming.
Highly recommended for devotees, nature lovers, and history enthusiasts alike, this temple is a must-visit for those near Champaner or Vadodara.

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.
Went there after many years, Nice Aarti of evening, only by Mantra chanting, no other Noise Pollution like dhol, nagada ghant(bell) , and loud speakers. Nice peaceful aarti and Place, No chaos, Full of supportive people's and Mandir Staff.

Hathni Mata Temple

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

There are beautiful ❤️.. place in hathni mata waterfall.... In hollyday
The waterfalls are good! Beautiful experience. However the services are pathetic! The toilets are dirty! Wonder why would government not create infrastructure at picnic spots with such nice beautiful waterfall... Roads are narrow! During monsoon plan trip to start your journey back home by 2pm as narrow roads and soft land could cause issues for car getting stuck. 2 hrs is good enough time! Must go but with group
Nice water fall during monsoon season. Have hindu Shivling and Hathani mata under waterfall.
Must visit place.
The place have some sharp rocks and some area have deep downfalls so be careful with bear foot. The water level is very low in most of waterfall so it's considered safe and good place.
I think off monsoon season is not the beat choice to visit this place. I visited this place in feb 2021, there id no waterfall but he place was very quiet and peacefull. Also got the chance to see mataji very closely and to click a lot of pics. Local peoples are also very friendly and helpful. Our route was started from pavagarh , so the road was passing through a jungle , which scared my wife but i was having too much fun.We are planning ti visit again in monsoon season, then i will update you again.
Hii...Hathini Mata waterfall is not as good as shown in many pictures or videos yes you can see that views when there is heavy rainfall but worthy visiting place. One route is through the forest where you can see many signboard with pictures including hyena and cheeta..but overall place is just ok not as good as should be. This place has a temple known as hathini mata temple and is good place for religious people...Thank you very much🙂
Best place hathni mata water fall
Hathni mata waterfall caters really rejuvenating experience . Best time to visit is during monsoon.
From month of July to November end . It can be really enjoyable trip during Diwali . It is 80 kms aways from Baroda . Roads are also paved .

Sabarmati Ashram
Mentioned on
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.
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.
One of the cleanest and well-maintained places I have been to. I had an industrial visit here. This ashram shows the life of Gandhi in an extensive way. Lot of trees in the premises. Must-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.

Dhebar Lake, also known as Jaisamand Lake, is a man-made lake located in Udaipur, India. The lake was built during the 17th century by constructing a dam and has since become an official Heritage Monument of India. It is one of the largest artificial lakes in the world and is situated amidst the Great Indian Thar Desert.
I had put this place on my Udaipur Itinerary and I am glad I did so. Was easily the most fun I had on the trip. Booked an entire boat for an hour all to myself. Mr. Shiv Puri, the boat operator was friendly and helpful. Explore the place for a whole day if you like! The lake is huge and there are historical monuments nearby. The sights of the small islands on the water are beautiful and you can even make stops.

This beautiful man made lake is the 2nd largest in Asia. Which provides drinking water to Udaipur though being about 50 kms from the city . Has been built between 1711-1730 by the ruler of the famous Mewar royal family, roughly 387 years ago.
Also, I took this shot from a place which is popular by the name Roothi Rani ka Mahal initially know as “Hawa Mahal”.

Bodies of Water
Lake Pichola, an artificial freshwater lake in Udaipur, Rajasthan, offers boat rides and is home to several islands with palaces. Built in 1362, it was initially intended to meet the city's water and irrigation needs. The lake has four islands including Arsi villa & Jag Niwas, which houses a small palace and a sanctuary for bird watching.
It’s a very scenic and beautiful lake in Udaipur. One of the must visit places. It is near gangaur ghat and Karni Mata temple. You can also do boating but the cost is 800/- per person. It is near city palace for which the entry is too costly which is not worth it. You can come here to relax but avoid the boat ride and the palace visit, you’re not missing much. It can get crowded during the season. There are multiple shops nearby and chats also. Very peaceful at nights.

Sunset boating is mesmerising in lake Pichola
Lake Pichola is one of the most beautiful lake in Udaipur. The view of the lake surrounded by palaces and old buildings is simply mesmerizing, especially during sunset. The calm water and peaceful atmosphere make it a perfect place to relax and click pictures.
The boat ride here is totally worth it - around 15–20 minutes long, giving you a closer look at the City Palace, Lake Palace, and Jag Mandir. The reflections of lights on the lake in the evening are magical. A must-visit spot for anyone exploring Udaipur.
Beautiful lake to spent quality time with family or kids.
Perfect venue to spent romantic moments. Boat riding is just 360 prime and 170 for ordinary. Perfect scenerary available.
If you love to enjoy boat road or love to watch a peaceful sunset then this is the perfect place for you. You can enjoy the sunset with you friends or family.
Nearby lots of cafe are also there. If you go to city palace from there you can take boat ride to Jag mandir
Nice view from the boat of the whole lake . It is full of beautiful hotels which are built like palaces.
Lake Pichola is the heart of Udaipur — calm, romantic, and absolutely stunning! The sunset boat ride is a must-do experience, offering breathtaking views of City Palace, Jag Mandir, and the shimmering lake waters. The reflections at dusk make it feel like a dream. Truly the soul of the “City of Lakes”! 💙✨

Monsoon Palace

Sights & Landmarks
Sajjangarh Monsoon Palace, also known as Monsoon Mahal, is a stunning white marble palace perched on a high hill in Udaipur. Built by Maharana Sajjan Singh of the Mewar Dynasty, this palace offers breathtaking panoramic views of Fatehsagar Lake and the surrounding countryside.
I visited the Monsoon Palace in Udaipur yesterday and it was great. This is located around 20mins from the city centre and easily accessible using taxis. Entry for foreigners cost INR560 + parking for car on the top cost INR360 and must be bought at the gate. The mountain top location provides amazing views over the lakes and Udaipur which was one of the reasons for the visit. The fort palace is beautiful, well preserved but smaller compared to forts like Amer fort and also hosts a museum. It was a quiet and peaceful visit, highly recommended!
Sanka I — Google review
So I visited the Monsoon Palace recently, and honestly, it’s one of those places that’s more about the view than the palace itself. It’s located on a high hill a bit outside the main city, and once you reach the top, you can literally see all of Udaipur — the lakes, City Palace, and everything else. The view is amazing, especially around sunset or during monsoon when it’s cloudy.
Getting there is a bit of a ride though. The road is quite steep and curvy, and it takes around 15–25 minutes to reach the top if you’re going by car or scooty. The entry fee is ₹170 per person, and they also charge ₹300 for cars and ₹70 for two-wheelers. There’s a cab service from the base too, around ₹120 per person if you don’t want to drive up yourself.
Once you’re at the top, there’s a small parking area, and you have to walk for about 5 minutes to reach the palace. There’s a small café near the palace that sells basic snacks like samosas, puffs, tea, and cold drinks — nothing fancy but it’s good enough if you just want a quick bite or some water.
The palace itself is okay-ish, not very grand or well-maintained, but that’s not really the main attraction. The views from up there totally steal the show. You can see the whole city spread out below — it’s especially beautiful during sunset.
Overall, I’d say it’s worth going once, mainly for the views and the drive. Don’t expect a super fancy palace, but if you enjoy scenic spots, it’s a nice little trip.
Breathtaking Views & Royal Vibes – A Must Visit in Udaipur!
Monsoon Palace (Sajjangarh Palace) is one of the best viewpoints in Udaipur. The drive up the hill is scenic, and once you reach the top, the panoramic view of the entire city, lakes, and Aravalli hills is absolutely stunning—especially during sunset. The sky turns golden, and the breeze makes the experience unforgettable.
The palace itself has a charming old-world feel. It’s not heavily decorated inside, but the location and atmosphere make it worth the visit. The area is well maintained, and there are plenty of spots to sit, relax, and take pictures.
Entry fees are reasonable, and there are basic facilities available. Parking is organized, but it can get crowded during peak hours, so arriving a little early is a good idea.
Overall, Monsoon Palace is a perfect place for photography, romantic views, and enjoying Udaipur’s natural beauty. Highly recommended—especially during monsoon and sunset! 🌅🏰🌿
beautiful spot with one of the best sunset views in Udaipur. The drive up the hill is scenic, and once you reach the top, you get a breathtaking panoramic view of the city, lakes, and surrounding hills. It’s especially nice during or after monsoon when everything looks green and fresh.
On the downside, there isn’t much to see inside the palace — it’s more about the view than the structure itself. The entry fee plus vehicle charge can feel a bit high, and the road uphill is narrow, so it’s better to go with a local driver. Also, there’s limited food or water available at the top, so carrying your own bottle is a good idea.
Overall, it’s a great place for sunset lovers and photography, but go mainly for the view, not the palace interiors.
Breathtaking Views and Royal Charm Above the Aravallis!
Our visit to Monsoon Palace (Sajjangarh Fort) was truly memorable! Perched high on a hilltop, the palace offers one of the best panoramic views of Udaipur city, Fateh Sagar Lake, and the surrounding Aravalli Hills.
The palace itself has a simple yet elegant architecture that reflects royal charm and history. Though the interiors are minimal, the real highlight is the location and the spectacular scenery it offers in every direction.
The ride to the top can be steep and narrow at places, but the view at the end makes it all worthwhile.
There’s also a small café and a few viewing points where you can relax and enjoy the cool breeze. Entry tickets are reasonably priced, and parking is available near the base.
A tip: Visit in the late afternoon to enjoy the sunset views.
Overall, Monsoon Palace is a must-visit attraction in Udaipur for its serene atmosphere, stunning vistas, and a glimpse into royal history. A perfect spot for photographers, couples, family and anyone who loves nature and scenic views!
Watching sunset from here is really peaceful. You need to buy a ticket for this place. Prefer to go on weekday as crowd will be less. It’s situated on hill top so city View from here is so mesmerising. Its a Small Palace you can easily cover it in 2-3 hours. You can Visit this place with your friend and family.
"Monsoon Palace (Sajjangarh Palace) in Udaipur is breathtaking! The stunning views of the city and lakes from the top are unforgettable. The palace architecture is impressive, and the sunset views are simply spectacular. Google Maps navigation was easy. A must-visit attraction in Udaipur. Highly recommend!"
Named after Maharana Sajjan Singh, the palace was completed in 1884. It was initially planned as an ambitious nine-story astronomical observatory to track monsoon clouds, reflecting the Maharana's keen interest in science.
Perched atop Bansdara Hill, the white marble palace showcases a beautiful blend of Rajput and Mughal architecture. Its towering turrets, domed structures, and detailed craftsmanship create a majestic silhouette against the Aravalli skyline.
The interior features a large central courtyard and marble pillars that are intricately carved with exquisite floral and leaf motifs. Although historically used as a monsoon retreat and hunting lodge, the focus remains on its structural grandeur rather than elaborate ornamentation.
A key functional aspect of the palace is its ingenious rainwater harvesting system, designed to capture and store water underground. This sophisticated mechanism sustained the palace's needs during the dry season atop the hill.
Panoramic Viewing Experience
The palace’s strategic elevation offers perhaps the most spectacular panoramic views of Udaipur, including Lake Pichola, Fateh Sagar Lake, and the surrounding countryside. It is globally famous for its breathtaking sunsets, which bathe the white structure in a golden glow.

One of the most beautiful palace I have ever visited. It's very magnificent and well maintained. The museum has lot of information. The weapons used during those days, the paintings, dress and culture all are very well preserved. It's a must visit place. There are authorised guides at the entrance please hire one for 500 to get the detailed information about the palace. Do not exit from the exit gate which you will need to pay 50 more and have to take a boat ride which is way expensive instead exit from the entry gate where there are lot of shopping options. There are is also authentic Rajasthani Thali available inside the palace which is good and reasonable.

Very long queue both for tickets and entry. Online option is not easily found on the web. Some of the performances were good but some very average, specially the duet snake dance performers, they were both doing their own thing ,no co-ordination and appeared to be very casual. The group dances were good. Overall seemed a little like a tourist trap
Bagore ki haveli offers you 2 kinds of experiences, one is the rich history through its museum and the beautiful view and sunset that you can catch from it's jharokhaas and windows. And the other one is ofcourse the dharohar dance show that you cannot miss at any cost. Book the tickets beforehand and buy another ticket for your camera as it's worth it.
I went there thrice, and each time it had something new to offer.
Bagore Ki Haveli is a beautifully maintained heritage haveli located near Gangaur Ghat on Lake Pichola. The entry ticket is ₹60, which makes it a very budget-friendly attraction. You can explore the entire haveli in about 30–45 minutes.
Inside, you’ll see old Rajasthani rooms, colorful glasswork, jharokhas, traditional costumes, utensils, masks, turbans, and artwork, which show how people lived in the old Mewar period. It’s also a great place for photography, with beautiful courtyards and mirror work.
If you want to watch the traditional folk dance and puppet show, there is a separate ticket for the Dharohar Cultural Show held in the evening. The folk dance, music, and puppet performance offer a wonderful glimpse into Rajasthan’s cultural traditions.
Bagore Ki Haveli was built in the 18th century by Amar Chand Badwa, the prime minister of Mewar. Later, it was used by members of the royal family, including Maharana Shakti Singh of Bagore. The haveli has more than 100 rooms, courtyards, and beautifully carved balconies. After years of neglect, it was restored by the West Zone Cultural Centre, which turned it into a museum showcasing Mewar’s heritage.
A nice, peaceful heritage spot with affordable entry, perfect for a short visit. Great for learning about old Rajasthani culture and also for enjoying the evening folk dance show.
I visited Bagore ki Haveli museum yesterday and it was brilliant. Previously a guest house and a government office, this is now converted into a cultural center and museum. Entry to the venue is ticketed and foreigner tickets cost INR150 and can be bought at the gates.
Heritage Place must once to visit ......
Locate at "old udaipur city" with very narrow streets, only way to visit place by "Auto" or must took service of "rental vehicle" to visit Entire Udaipur Places.
Must book the advance tickets for "Night show" of local traditional folk dance, and must view this show.
Folk Dance Show timings in 2 slots of 7 to 8 p.m and 8 to 9 p.m.. 200 seats in each Show.. 8-9 p.m specific introduce looking to the diwali 🎇 🪔.
It's good to book tickets online in advance for any inconveniences...
A well maintained haveli.
Museum has a nice collection of old and antique items.
Entry ticket for museum is 60/- per person.
They have a dance show in evening for which buying tickets in advance is good option.
If you want to witness the full culture of Udaipur, the intricacies, the preserved details, then visit this gem of a place. But pay attention for it is the sanctum sanctorum of the godman of Mewar, Thakur Amar Chand Badwa. Inside there are chambers dark, dusty, classy and machiavellian. Four Maharanas were outclassed, outstrategized, and out-aestheticised by one Pradhan who built a temple to himself and called it home - Bagore Ki Haveli.

Saheliyon ki Bari, a stunning garden in Udaipur, is renowned for its lush greenery, intricate marble art, and enchanting fountains. Built by the Maharana for the royal ladies of Mewar, it features four water pools, marble elephants, kiosks, and fountains. The garden also houses a museum displaying household items and pets of the residents.
Beautiful and peaceful place to visit in Udaipur. The fountains, marble pavilions, and lotus pools are truly mesmerizing.
The garden is clean, well-maintained, and full of greenery that gives a calm and refreshing vibe. It’s a perfect spot for photography and to relax for a while away from the city noise. Gardens are huge in size, and you can even play many games when visiting with a big group of family or friends.
The water fountains still work perfectly, adding charm to the atmosphere. A must-visit place for anyone coming to Udaipur.

Saheliyon Ki Bari is a beautiful and peaceful garden, perfect for nature lovers. The entry ticket is ₹30, and there is a common washroom available near the entrance, which is convenient for visitors.
The garden has lush greenery, fountains, lotus ponds, marble structures, and an artificial water jharana, which make it a nice spot for a relaxing walk. The evening time is especially good for photography because of the soft natural light and calm atmosphere.
However, if you expect a very large or grand garden, it may feel a bit smaller than expected. Still, the atmosphere, greenery, and fountain areas make it a pleasant place to visit.
Overall, it's a good and peaceful garden to spend 20–30 minutes, especially if you enjoy nature and photography.
Saheliyon Ki Bari was built in the 18th century by Maharana Sangram Singh II. According to history, it was created for the 48 maids (saheliyan) who came with the queen as part of her dowry. The king built this garden to give them a peaceful place to relax, spend time together, and enjoy the fountains.
This garden was designed as a private retreat for the royal ladies, where they could walk, chat, and enjoy the sound of water fountains away from the palace duties. The fountains work purely on water pressure without any pumps, which shows the excellent engineering of that time.
A beautiful, peaceful, and green garden with fountains and photo spots. Good for nature lovers, though slightly smaller than expectations. Worth a quick visit for its history and calm atmosphere
Saheliyon ki Bari, or the "Garden of Maidens," was built between 1710 and 1734 AD by Maharana Sangram Singh II of Mewar. Its singular purpose was to provide a delightful and exclusive pleasure garden for the royal ladies and their maids of honour, offering a glimpse into a bygone, luxurious life.
The garden's architectural marvel lies in its harmonious integration of Mughal and Rajasthani styles. It features lush, green lawns and a central lotus pool. The most distinctive elements are the white marble pavilions, or chhatris, which stand elegantly against the backdrop of the white walls. Water is the soul of this space. The garden is famed for its numerous fountains, which are supplied from the nearby Fateh Sagar Lake (and later merged into the Bari by Maharana Fateh Singh). These fountains operate without pumps, using a complex hydrostatic pressure system, a testament to 18th century's engineering.
Ornamental details are delicate and abundant. Stone carved chhatris feature beautiful floral motifs and repetitive arches, as seen in the dark, richly sculpted archways and canopies. A whimsical fountain, adorned with carved mermaid like figures, stands as a charming focal point in the paved courtyard.
Ultimately, Saheliyon ki Bari is a tranquil oasis. Its delicate balance of architecture, floral beds, and the soothing sound of perpetually flowing fountains makes it a beautiful memorial to the private leisure of the royal women of Udaipur.
Saheliyon ki bari - A huge and majestic garden located near the banks of Fateh sagar lake, was built by Maharana Sangram Sinh for the royal ladies. He presented this garden to his queen. The queen was accompanied by 48 maids in her wedding. To offer all of them pleasurable moments away from the political environment, this garden was made. This patterned garden used to be the popular relaxing spot of the royal ladies. It has many sections, fountains, lotus pool and marble elephants. Currently, the fountains are managey electronically. But in the old times, this was managed by the vacuum. The garden is very well maintained and full of greenery. There is a nominal entry fees. Must recommend everyone to visit.
If you love history, beautiful landscapes, and unique architecture, Saheliyon Ki Bari is highly recommended. It’s a wonderful place to appreciate the artistry and thoughtfulness of the Maharana's gift to the royal ladies.
Best Time to Visit: Go during the winter months (October to March) or the monsoon (July to September) when the greenery is at its most vibrant.
Time Required: You can easily explore the entire garden and the small adjacent museum (which has some interesting artifacts) in 45 minutes to 1 hour. It's a quick, worthwhile stop.
Timing: Try to visit in the early morning (opens at 9:00 AM) or late afternoon (around 5:00 PM) to avoid the midday heat and the biggest crowds.
Location: It's conveniently located near Fateh Sagar Lake and Sukhadia Circle, making it easy to fit into your itinerary.
Amazing Gardens and fountains built over 200 years ago. Some of the fountains and sprinklers are in wrought iron and imported from Liverpool back then. Some marble fountains are actually marvel fountains with water moving through hollow legs or elephants and out their trunks or through hollow pillars and out the pergola. All of this is using gravity and there are no pumps to keep the water the moving - the water comes from the Fatehsagar lake which is 80 - 90 mts higher than the gardens and the height of the fountain therefore depends on the level of water in the lake. Amazing engineering.......
Visited this garden in Udaipur, entry ticket is ₹30 per person. It’s nicely maintained with clean toilets and even fresh drinking water available at the entry, which is great.
The garden itself is good, but since I went during the daytime, the harsh sun made it difficult to enjoy fully. They definitely need more big trees for shade to make the experience more comfortable. The only parts I truly loved were the Savan Bhado and Bin Badal Barsat spots inside the garden - those were beautiful!
Saheliyon Ki Bari always offers an immense and refreshing experience! This was my second visit — the first time was in 2011 after our marriage. The garden is peaceful, calm, and beautifully maintained, with lush greenery, fountains, and charming pathways.
It’s the perfect place for a relaxing stroll, quiet reflection, or photography, and it truly captures the serene charm of Udaipur. A must-visit for anyone seeking peace amidst nature and history. 🌿✨
