Excellent location to visit. One must visit during weekdays to avoid crowds. Bottles of water and rainy wear are a must. Black fort walls and structures shrouded in mist or wisp of clouds with occasional misty rain or torrent will create a surreal ambience. Prepare for a good walk with waterproof tracking shoes.This fort is located about 40 km from Pune city. There's a nominal parking charge of Rs 50. You'll find small food stalls around and within the fort premises. The views from the fort are stunning, and its rich history and architecture are evident. The fort spans a vast area, making it an ideal spot to spend hours with family and friends.Amazing place with rich history and scenic views. The trek is enjoyable, with scenic trails and cool breeze. Don't miss the local snacks at the top perfect after the climb. A must - visit near Pune!
Danish F — Google review
Sinhagad Fort turns absolutely magical during the monsoon. The entire trek is surrounded by lush green hills, misty clouds, and waterfalls along the way - it feels like walking through the clouds! The cool breeze, the smell of wet soil, and the panoramic views from the top make it an unforgettable experience. If you're trekking, start early in the morning to enjoy the foggy views and avoid crowds. Don't miss the famous kanda bhaji (onion fritters), pithla-bhakri, and chaas from the small stalls near the top - they taste heavenly after the climb! Parking can get a bit tricky on weekends, and it can get slippery in places, so wear good shoes. But overall, Sinhagad during monsoon is pure bliss - perfect for nature lovers, trekkers, and photographers.

Nice place to visit for one day. Good for family, even for children. Better to visit in the morning and avoid sundays. Nice trek if you want to else Parking can be done at the top of fort. Not steep or dangerous driving. Can visit even by 2 wheeler. Need to climb stairs aprox 200 after parking. Washrooms available at parking and at the top also. Nice views. There is lot of eateries for small snacks neare stairs and at the top. Small reasturants where you can enjoy home made lunch made by local people. Food Not too expensive. Enjoyable place. You can take your own food also. Better to carry water.

- I visited Sinhagad in November and it was really an awesome experience. - There are PMT buses after every 1 hour from Shaniwarwada to Sinhagad [convenient to take before 1pm]. - Two wheelers also available for a day to ride nearby area. - Make sure to meet the locals, eat the food on Sinhgad and feel the power of Maratha on fort. - Very beautifull and easy fort to climb and convenient for children also.

Great historical placeto visit near Pune. You will get awesome views here. Nearby mountains are superb. I will request everyone who will visit forts that don't throw garbage anywhere. Don't write your names on walls of forts. We should keep our forts clean. Visit forts with your children. Everyone should know about warriors and history. Keep forts clean.
Rohan A — Google review
Sinhagad Fort is demotic in the history of the Maratha Empire, featuring the legacy of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj . It houses many representations (statues/busts) and even weapons related to them. The surrounding scenery is quite captivating, and the climb (trek) time to the fort offers very beautiful views. Trekking is too here. Visiting during the monsoon is highly recommended as the area is lush green and the weather is pleasant, though it gets very crowded on weekends. At the fort gates, various food items are available, such as roasted corn (bhutta), Vada Pav, Kanda Bhaji (onion fritters), tea, and Maggi (noodles), which delicious. The sunrise and sunset views from the fort are quite spectacular. The cleanliness here is well-maintained, and washroom facilities are also available. Overall, the experience is full of natural beauty and the joy of a wonderful, captivating atmosphere.

Outstanding place to visit for a vertical 5kms trek and climb or by motor-able road. Will have to still take stairs post trek for further explore… Saturday sunday its busy place with lot of footfall… rainy season is best if its open if not landslides. Best time is to reach by 6 am
Sudit J — Google review
Good trecking points are there. Apart from Nanaji statue and memorial, not much construction is there. Only the remnants of the exterior of the fort is available. But it is well maintained. Very good ethnic food varieties available inside, provided by locals, though slightly EXPENSIVE. Overall worth going.

Diveagar Beach

Mentioned on 
21 lists 
Beach
Nature & Parks
Diveagar Beach is a hidden gem along the stunning Konkan Coast, nestled in Maharashtra's Raigad district, just 170 kilometers from Mumbai. This picturesque destination boasts an enchanting blend of lush greenery and sparkling azure waters, complemented by soft white sands that invite relaxation. Unlike many flat beaches, Diveagar features wavy shores and strong tides from the Arabian Sea, making it a fantastic spot for sea surfing enthusiasts.
If you ever feel like life’s getting a bit too loud, Diveagar Beach is the kind of place that softly tells you, “It’s okay, breathe.” The first thing you notice is the silence—not the awkward kind, but the calming kind. The kind where the sound of the waves and rustling trees become your background music. The beach is wide, clean, and mostly untouched. No flashy lights, no chaos—just you, the sand, and the sea. I sat there for hours without checking my phone. I didn’t even realize how much I needed that stillness. Families were playing, a few kids running around, and some locals selling snacks with warm smiles—but nothing felt rushed or commercial. Just simple moments, the kind you wish you could pause. The sunset hit different here. It wasn’t just pretty—it felt emotional, like nature was wrapping up the day with a soft goodbye. Diveagar isn’t a “tourist attraction.” It’s a gentle escape. It doesn’t try to impress you—it just lets you be. And sometimes, that’s all you really need.

Beautiful beach and very long. It's a little bit flat, but good waves even during low tides. Lots of fun activities at the beach too. Fantastic beach to visit.

Calm and peaceful beach. But cleanness needs to be maintained by government as well as visitors. Nearby food vendors are too kind and pricing is also decent.
Viral ( — Google review
I recently visited Diveagar Beach, and it turned out to be one of the cleanest beaches I’ve seen. It wasn’t too crowded when I went, though I’ve heard it gets quite busy on weekends. There are plenty of water sports to enjoy — parasailing costs around ₹1200 per person, while most other activities range between ₹200–₹400. The weather was rainy during my visit, which made the surroundings even more peaceful and beautiful. I really enjoyed spending my weekend there. If you’re looking for a calm two-day getaway by the sea, Diveagar Beach is definitely worth visiting. One tip — choose your restaurant carefully, as the food can be a bit pricey and not always worth the cost.
Rtr. R — Google review
Nice place for one or two night stay with family. There are many hotels of different range nearby, however it is suggested to do advance booking. The beach is beautiful, excellent for photography, their are water sports available for all age groups. Food joints are available and you can enjoy authentic konkani sea food here.

Diveagar Beach, Maharashtra – A Peaceful Coastal Retreat Diveagar Beach, located along the Konkan coast of Maharashtra, is a serene and relatively less crowded beach, perfect for a peaceful getaway. Known for its natural beauty, the beach stretches over a long shoreline with soft sand that has a slightly blackish tint, giving it a unique look compared to other beaches in the region. The waves here are gentle, and the beach remains clean and well-maintained, making it ideal for a relaxing walk or spending time with family and friends. The best time to visit is during the evening, when the sun begins to set. The sky turns golden, and the cool sea breeze makes the atmosphere incredibly calming and picturesque. Sunset views at Diveagar are truly a treat for photographers and nature lovers. There are a few stalls nearby selling coconut water, snacks, and local delicacies. While not overly commercialized, the beach still offers basic amenities and a laid-back vibe. It’s a great spot for people who want to escape the crowd and enjoy the simple beauty of the sea. Overall, Diveagar Beach is a hidden gem in Maharashtra — perfect for evening visits, soulful walks, and unwinding by the Arabian Sea. Highly recommended for a peaceful beach day.

Do try MODAK! Beach is good and clean. Try to be there on Thursday, so you can have less crowd as compared to weekends. Most probably if you reach early enough at 5 or 6am you will see a good sunrise with less crowd. Do carry good footwear and do not bring expensive gears with yourselves.

Shrimant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Mandir

Mentioned on 
27 lists 
Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled in the heart of Pune, the Shrimant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Mandir stands as a beacon of devotion and artistry. This iconic temple, dedicated to Lord Ganesha, boasts stunning marble interiors and a magnificent golden idol that captivates visitors from all walks of life. Established in 1893 by Shri Dagdusheth Halwai and his wife Lakshmibai following a personal tragedy, this sacred site has become one of India's most revered places for worship.
Visiting Dagdusheth Ganpati was a truly divine experience. The moment I reached the temple, the atmosphere was filled with chants of “Ganpati Bappa Morya” and the fragrance of flowers and incense. The magnificent idol of Lord Ganesha, beautifully adorned with gold ornaments, instantly filled my heart with peace and devotion. Even amidst the crowd, darshan was smooth because of the temple’s unique design that allows everyone to see Bappa clearly. The positive energy, the devotion of people, and the feeling of being in the presence of Lord Ganesha made the visit unforgettable. I left with a calm mind, a grateful heart, and a sense of blessings that will stay with me forever. 🙏✨ Truly, Dagdusheth is Navsala Pavnara Ganpati ✨🙏
Swati S — Google review
Visiting the Shreemant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Temple is always a divine and soul-soothing experience. Located in the heart of Pune, this temple is not just a place of worship but a symbol of devotion, culture, and tradition. The moment you step inside, you can feel an aura of peace, positivity, and spiritual energy surrounding you. The Ganpati idol here is truly magnificent — beautifully adorned with gold and intricate ornaments. The eyes of Lord Ganesha seem so lively and compassionate that one instantly feels connected and blessed. The temple management ensures that everything is well organized, from darshan queues to cleanliness and safety measures. Despite being one of the most popular temples in Maharashtra, the darshan moves smoothly thanks to the systematic arrangement and polite volunteers who guide devotees with patience and warmth. The surrounding area is also well maintained, and facilities like shoe counters and prasad distribution are handled efficiently. During festivals like Ganesh Chaturthi, the entire place transforms into a vibrant celebration with lights, music, and devotion — yet the sense of discipline and organization remains intact. It’s heartwarming to see how the temple also engages in various charitable activities, helping the needy and supporting social causes throughout the year. Overall, visiting Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Temple is a must for anyone in Pune — whether for spiritual solace, cultural significance, or simply to experience the deep devotion of countless devotees. A truly divine place that fills your heart with peace and gratitude.
Rajesh J — Google review
I had wanted to visit Dagdusheth Ganpati Mandir for a long time, and finally got the chance. Even though it was Diwali, the crowd was well-managed, and devotees were able to move around comfortably thanks to the efficient security personnel. One small improvement could be providing a tap or facility to wash hands, as we place our chappals on the stand with bare hands. Overall, the temple is well-organized, spiritually uplifting, and a must-visit for anyone coming to Pune.

SHREE DAGDUSHETH HALWAI GANPATI – PUNE’S ICONIC GANESH TEMPLE We visited the famed Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati—Pune’s answer to Mumbai’s Lalbaugcha Raja—and were truly amazed by the authentic and wholesome vibe of the festivities. The idol is majestic, with a traditional Puneri crown that’s instantly recognizable. The temple interiors are adorned with chandeliers, and despite the crowd, the pandits are calm, making the darshan peaceful. You can even stay back for the aarti, which adds a spiritual depth to the visit. A thoughtful feature is the glass viewing section on the front wall, allowing devotees to seek blessings even from the road during rush hours. During Ganeshotsav, the idol is ceremoniously moved to a temporary mandap at the end of the road, accompanied by traditional dhol-tasha groups and grand processions full of energy and devotion. It’s not just a temple—it’s a cultural experience. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, Dagdusheth Ganpati offers a glimpse into Pune’s soul, wrapped in devotion, tradition, and celebration.

One of the most beautiful temples in Pune. Visiting this temple is truly a divine experience. The moment you see Lord Ganesh, so beautifully adorned, you can instantly feel the spiritual aura and positive energy around you. Despite being crowded most of the time, the temple is managed exceptionally well, no matter when you visit, you’ll always get a peaceful darshan of Ganesh ji. There’s also a Shiva temple within the same premises, adding to the sacred atmosphere. The poojari are humble and ensure everyone receives aarti and prasad with warmth. During Ganesh Chaturthi, the temple looks absolutely magnificent. Ganesh ji is decorated in gold, and the sight is truly something else. Spending time here fills you with calmness and devotion. I am genuinely a fan of this temple, it’s a place that never fails to bring peace and positivity.

Arpita K — Google review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Visiting the Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Temple was a beautiful and divine experience. The temple is filled with positive energy and devotion, and the darshan feels truly special. For first-time visitors, here are a few useful tips to make your visit smooth: • Avoid taking your car directly into the temple lane. The lane is extremely congested, one-way, and located in a busy market area. You won’t find parking nearby. It’s best to park your vehicle 500 meters to 1 km away and take a rickshaw to the temple. • You can choose a fast-track darshan pass for around ₹100 to directly go for darshan. There is also a regular darshan queue behind the temple where you can go without a pass. • Photography is not allowed inside the temple. If you wish to take pictures, you must visit the temple office and get proper permission first. • There is a shoe rack facility available where you can safely keep your footwear and get a token. Overall, a wonderful and peaceful darshan experience. Just be mindful about the approach road and parking, and everything else will be absolutely blissful. Must-visit for everyone seeking blessings in Pune!

Watching the sunset from the beach was an absolutely serene and unforgettable experience. The way the sun dipped below the horizon, casting hues of orange, pink, and gold across the sky, created a perfect blend of calm and beauty. The gentle sound of waves lapping at the shore added to the peaceful atmosphere, making it a perfect moment to relax and reflect. The beach itself was clean and not overly crowded, allowing for an uninterrupted view of nature at its finest. Whether you’re a photographer, a couple looking for a romantic evening, or just someone wanting a peaceful end to the day, a beach sunset like this is truly a must-see. Highly recommend timing your visit for about 30 minutes before sunset to catch the full transition—it’s worth every second.

Lovely beach, filled with white sands glowing sky amidst dark blue Arabian Sea. From Nagaon it took about an hour to reach Kashid city. Beach has parking place. As you take a turn and enter Kashid, you get to view the beach surrounded by black stones. There are camel and horse rides organised in the beach, while motor rides and bullock horse rides are popular. Surrounded by lush greenery, mountains, mangroves this beach is popular for sunset. There are shops for shoppers and street food for foodies. A beach not to miss visiting from Alibaug.

The beach was very clean and well-maintained, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. If you’re planning to visit Alibaug, I personally recommend going to Kashid Beach — it’s much better than the other beaches nearby.

Very good to spend with friends and family. It seems like personal beach. But I like to request the local shops and tourist not to litter beaches. Use dustbin. It's pathetic if you all be so careless about each and every places.

Alibaug Beach, located in the coastal town of Alibaug in Maharashtra, is a popular weekend destination for tourists, especially from Mumbai and Pune. Known for its scenic beauty, calm waters, and historical landmarks, the beach offers a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and culture. Golden Sands and Clean Shoreline: Alibaug Beach features soft, blackish sand and a relatively flat shoreline, making it ideal for long beach walks, family picnics, and sunset views. Breathtaking Sunsets: The view of the sun setting over the Arabian Sea is one of the highlights for every tourist. It’s a photographer’s delight and a peaceful moment for travelers looking to unwind. Scenic Horse Cart Rides: A unique experience on the beach is the traditional horse cart rides along the shore, loved by both kids and adults. Fort View and Adventure: From the beach, you can spot the historic Kolaba Fort, located around 1 km into the sea. During low tide, tourists can walk or take a horse cart to reach it and explore its ancient ramparts, freshwater wells, and temple. Water Sports: Banana boat rides, jet skiing, and parasailing are popular among adventure seekers. Seafood and Local Cuisine: Several food stalls and restaurants nearby offer delicious Konkani and Maharashtrian dishes, especially fresh seafood. Nearby Attractions: Visit other nearby beaches like Nagaon, Kashid, and Varsoli, or explore the temples and historical sites around Alibaug town. By Ferry: The quickest and most scenic route from Mumbai is via ferry from Gateway of India to Mandwa Jetty, followed by a short drive or bus ride to Alibaug. By Road: Alibaug is about 95 km from Mumbai and 140 km from Pune. Buses, private taxis, and self-drive cars are easily available. Best Time to Visit The best time to visit Alibaug Beach is from October to March, when the weather is pleasant and ideal for sightseeing and beach activities.

⚠️ Disappointing Experience at Alibag Beach Our visit to Alibag Beach was quite disappointing. The place was extremely crowded, with food stalls, rides, and people everywhere — it felt chaotic, and there was barely any space to relax or enjoy the beach. The parking situation was terrible, and there seemed to be no proper crowd management or supervision by the authorities. Even though the area has been recently renovated, the beach was littered with food waste and not maintained well. Overall, it’s not a place I would recommend if you’re looking for a peaceful or clean beach experience. There are much better, quieter beaches nearby like Nandgaon or Kashid that offer a more relaxing atmosphere. 🌊🚫
Srikanth K — Google review
Beautiful beach, lots of water activities. We tried the speed boat and enjoyed it! It was quite crowded when we visited. We also went at night and loved the cold breeze. You can walk to Kolaba Fort during low tide (7 am to 1 pm), but we missed it.

📍 Alibaug Beach, Maharashtra 🌊 – A Perfect Coastal Escape Just a Few Hours from Mumbai & Pune! If you're craving a peaceful yet fun getaway with the sound of waves, fresh seafood, and endless sunset views, then Alibaug Beach is your calling! 😍 I recently visited this beautiful coastal town, and trust me — the vibe here is unmatched. It’s the perfect blend of beach fun, historic forts, seafood, and chill moments with your gang or even solo. 🧘‍♂️🌴 --- 🌅 Beach Vibes & More: Alibaug beach is flat and wide, perfect for long walks and photography 📸. The black sand adds a unique charm, and the cool breeze makes it ideal even during hot months. During low tide, you can literally walk to Kolaba Fort – which sits in the middle of the sea! 🏰 🌊 Pro Tip: Don’t miss the sunset here — it’s absolutely magical. The sky turns into a painting of orange, pink, and purple... pure peace 🌇✨ --- 🍤 Food & Local Delights: Seafood lovers, this place is heaven! 😋 From freshly fried pomfret to spicy prawn curries and soul-satisfying solkadhi — the local Malvani cuisine is a must-try. There are many beachside stalls and restaurants nearby like Sanman Hotel — known for authentic thalis 🥘 --- 📝 Things to Do: ✔️ Jet Ski, Banana Boat Rides & Parasailing for thrill lovers 🚤 ✔️ Visit Kolaba Fort during low tide ✔️ Check out Varsoli Beach (cleaner & calmer!) ✔️ Try local coconut water and kokum drinks 🥥 ✔️ Book a cozy beachside stay or Airbnb cottage 🛏️ --- 🚗 How to Reach: From Mumbai: Ferry from Gateway of India to Mandwa Jetty ⛴️, then 30-min drive From Pune: Around 3.5-4 hours by car via Tamhini or Mumbai-Goa Highway --- 🧠 My Opinion: Alibaug isn’t just a beach… it’s a feeling. It gives you that small-town calm, coastal charm, and some epic photo moments. Great for weekend getaways, romantic trips, or even solo detoxes 🧘‍♂️✨

Alibaug beach is a popular destination in Maharashtra known for its clean, blackish coastline and views of Kolaba Fort. Activities include walking, sunbathing, buggy rides, and visiting the nearby Ganpati temple and the historic fort. It is easily accessible from Mumbai and serves as a lively hub for locals and tourists, with numerous food stalls and a well-built platform for safe enjoyment of the sea, though it lacks facilities for motorized water sports.
ChandraShekhar P — Google review
"Not worth visiting. The beach is extremely dirty and overcrowded. With a ₹50 entry fee, it feels like a waste, especially when there are many cleaner and more peaceful beaches nearby. I’d recommend exploring other options in the area."
Sarthak W — Google review
Alibaug Beach is a popular coastal getaway near Mumbai, known for its clean sands, scenic views, and peaceful atmosphere. The beach is ideal for a relaxing stroll, enjoying sunsets, and light water activities. While it's not the best for swimming due to occasional rocky patches, its charm lies in the tranquil vibe and easy access from the city. Local snacks and nearby forts add to the experience.

Imagicaa

Theme park
Water & Amusement Parks
Large amusement park with rides, water slides, restaurants & an indoor park with artificial snow.
Truly one of the best theme parks in India till date. I visited during the off-season, so there was hardly any crowd—which was a big plus! I got to enjoy some of the top rides like Nitro, Gold Rush, and Deep Space not just once, but two to three times without long waiting lines. These rides are a must-try if you love thrill and adventure. The morning parade brings the park to life with characters and music, and the evening light and water show is a perfect way to end the day—really well done and full of energy. The quality of food inside the park restaurants is also surprisingly good, with decent options for both kids and adults. Overall, it's a complete day of fun, adventure, and entertainment.

Imagica is located at khopoli (approx 2 hours drive from Pune). It has a Theme park and a water park . One day is sufficient to do either of the two. In case one plans to do both; 2 full days are required. The rides are amazing and fun with family/ friends. Tickets can be booked online / offline. There are eateries inside the park. Amada serving amazing pizzas. Red bonnet serving fab burgers. Thali, buffet and jain food is also available. Locker facility available inside the park for your belongings. For water park dry fit attire is necessary.One can change once they r done with the rides. After 6 pm when the rides are closed there is a carnival in the premises. Also the park looks beautiful after sunset because of the lighting and fountains.

A Magical Day at Imagica, With a Word of Advice! Our family visited Adlabs Imagica on October 21st, and what a day it was! From the moment we walked in, the park felt vibrant. The kids (and adults!) loved the rides. We had a blast getting soaked on the water flume, taking a spin on the classic carousel, and getting competitive on the indoor shooting ride. As evening fell, the park completely transformed with beautiful lights, making the whole place feel truly magical, especially the area around the lake. However, we need to share a very important tip. Our visit coincided with the peak Diwali festival break, and we weren't the only ones with the idea! The park was packed with families, which created a fantastic, festive atmosphere but also meant one thing: a huge rush. This led to a massive number of people in the queues and, as you'd expect, very long waiting times for all the popular rides. We still managed to have a great time and make wonderful memories (the pictures prove it!), but the waiting definitely took up a big part of our day. So, here is our number one piece of advice for anyone planning to visit Imagica during a busy period like Diwali, a long weekend, or any school holiday: It is highly advised to book the Express tickets. It might cost extra, but it will save you hours of standing in line and let you enjoy far more of the amazing attractions the park has to offer. Overall, a fantastic park for family fun, but plan smart during the holidays!

Imagicaa really a place where dream come true. This Independence Day our family was lucky to witness great celebrations at Imagicaa. Great attractions are Nitro ride, Gold rush, Deep Space, Xbox motion theatre, Rajasaurus. The atmosphere was electrifying over there. On 15th August 2025, we completed all rides. Only two rides were not functioning. Mr. India and I for India shows were excellent. They have done a great work. Children enjoyed a lot over there. In the evening the fountain and laser shows made everyone cheering. Overall it was a very exciting experience. The park was neat and clean. There was drinking water facility at many places. Variety of tasty items were sold. My advice to first time visitors is to study the map of Imagicaa properly and click the photograph of time table of all rides properly. Enter the park after having brunch so you don't need to worry about food over there. You have to walk or you can hire a golf car for the park. Golf car can be bit costly. Mirror maze, Glow Imagicaa, Trampoline park, House of Stars, Projecto were added attractions but they charged additionally. Even there is Snow Park but it costed additionaly. So on the first day only focus on Theme Park and it's ride. The park was open till 8:00p.m. and many rides were fuctional till late. Aqua imagicaa also requires one full day. So if you want to enjoy everything fully, you will require 3 days over there. Novatel Hotel over there provides great packages for stay and entry to the park. Go to their website study properly and then enjoy the park. Don't forget that you have to walk a lot if you want to enjoy. Kids also like small small attractions like bikes, London type bus and various other segments for them.

Here's a detailed review of my Imagica day trip:- (A)Food:- In the Theme park there are many restaurants and at some places some stalls or stands selling snacks like icecream and chocolate and more things. My food package included Lunch, evening snacks and dinner. Your food voucher will contain the list of restaurants where you will be served food. I prefer buy the food voucher otherwise everything is very expensive.Here's more detailed classification:- (1)Lunch:- For lunch I went to Zooballoo's Buffeteria. It is near Alibaba aur Chalis Chor. They had a proper Buffet. I waited 17 minutes to get in . It is build near that Castle sort of structure. Roberto's Food Court also serves lunch I am not sure whether it serves in buffet style or select meal combos. (2) Evening Snacks:- For Evening Snacks I went to Roberto's Food Court,they had some select snacks of which you had to select one,there was also the option of beverages. Roberto's Food Court is near the lake,in front of it is the Arrmada restaurant. Armada restaurant is a ship-like structure restaurant. There was no waiting time there. (3)Dinner:- For Dinner i went to Red Bonnet American Diner Restaurant. It is near Nitro. Nitro is a roller coaster ride the big one. Roberto's also serves dinner but is is select meal combos no buffet, we were told that Zeze Grill was also serving dinner,but we were not able to find that probably because the Theme park is so huge. In Red Bonnet restaurant we had 2 options,veg or non veg. Each meal had a burger + Fries + Drink (Pepsi). There was no waiting time in the restaurant. The Rides:- I did the following rides:- (1)Nitro Roller Coaster:- I had to wait in line for around an hour. The ride lasts just 1 minute or less, but worth it. The ride has 6 rows,4 people per row,so accordingly 24 people per ride. When you will be exiting the roller coaster you can also buy some souvenirs or buy the picture taken from the cameras installed in the ride. They also have the facility of keeping your bags and other valuables at a storage space once you finish you can collect them back. (2) Alibaba aur Chalis Chor:- I had to wait for around 55 minutes,the rude lasted 7 minutes. But I felt it was not worth it. Inside the lines they have ac and ventilation but quite uneven,the room felt suffocating,I even saw a person faint. In this ride there will be automatic driving cars with capacity of 4 people,2 people front row,2 people back row. Each person will get a gun pre attached in the car,you have to point that gun to the chalias chor throughout the tunnel. Be careful it's a laser gun. At the end when you exit you can buy souvenirs there also. (3)Mr India The Ride:- I had to wait for like 35 minutes or something. Inside the theatre type of area there will be like around 8-10 cars,their position fixed,in that each car has 4 rows and can seat like 4 people per row. Here again you can keep your bags and other valuables before the ride. The ride lasts around 10-15 minutes. It's a 4D sort of ride. (4) Mermaid Show:- I had to wait like 10-15 minutes,the show lasts around 10 minutes or something. There is no seating inside,so if you want to sit you will have no choice other than to sit on floor. It's an atrium sort of room,where like a planetarium the show will run. (5) Bhangarh Fort:- I did not fully attend this time,but at first they had a 10 minutes short preview of history of Bhangarh Fort,in an animated movie,than there is some ride or i don't know exactly. There was no waiting time outside this activity. (6)Tea Cup Ride:- I had to wait just 3-4 minutes. The ride lasts around 5 minutes. . (C) Shopping:- As I mentioned there are some souvenir shops at the end of some rides. There is a shop called English Bakery where you can buy souvenirs plus there is a counter where you can buy some snacks also. Recommendations:- (1)Try to come at the earliest because there are long queues at ticket counter. (2)You can buy food voucher while buying ticket at the park or you can buy food voucher later on,I suggest buy voucher when buying ticket .

Imagica is huge – even the parking area! I visited on a weekday, so it wasn’t crowded, which made the experience even better. Started with Nitro (almost passed out but totally worth it 😅), then tried Gold Rush and Dare to Drop – all super thrilling. We had our lunch at the buffet and it had soo much of a wide variety and it was tasty as well. Some rides were under maintenance which was a bit disappointing, but overall, we managed to enjoy almost everything. A fun day well spent!

Charlotte Lake

Lake

Bodies of Water
Charlotte Lake, also known as Sharlott Lake, is a serene reservoir located 2 kilometers from Matheran Railway Station in Maharashtra. It is a popular tourist destination and a must-visit spot in the best hill station of Maharashtra. The lake is at its fullest during the monsoon season, offering a picturesque view with its small dam and waterfalls. Surrounded by lush green forests, it provides an ideal setting for nature enthusiasts, peace seekers, and bird watchers.
This is probably the best place to spend time with the company of calmness in Matheran. To reach Charlotte Lake, it would require a little trekking following the trail in the wild. The lake is beautiful, totally worth the little trek to reach there. It feels peaceful to sit by the lake especially when you've got good company along with you. It's definitely a must visit place in Matheran.
Noel N — Google review
Charlotte Lake & Lord’s View Point are next to each other. It’s known for the pretty sunsets, there are small stores close by that sell snacks and tea. It’s a small hike for 15min from the main path. It is super safe both at day and night to walk through the forest. I would recommend this place if you’re at Matheran for visit.
Jonah J — Google review
It's a must-visit if you're heading to this beautiful hill station. This serene spot lets you sit quietly by the lake, absorb the tranquility, and truly feel connected to nature. To reach the lake, you'll need to trek a bit through the forest — a refreshing and adventurous experience. While horse rides are also available, the walk through the woods is something you shouldn’t miss. ⚠️ A word of caution: During the monsoon, the path can get slippery, and accidents have happened in the past — so please be careful if you’re visiting during the rains.

A serene spot in Matheran where a tranquil lake is beautifully surrounded by mountains and greenery. There’s a seating area where you can relax, take in the breathtaking view, and truly feel at peace. A perfect place to spend some quality time amidst nature.

Evergreen place to see the most famous tourist spot in Mumbai. Avoid holidays and peak hours if you want to avoid rush. Maintenance work is going on presently and might not be able to move around the monument easily.

Growing up in Bombay- I frequented this place and it's got a special place in my heart- not to mention we share a birthday. This is an iconic structure that has not changed. Now visiting it as a tourist from overseas, it still captires the charm and innocence as I see families, children and young couples take selfies, chaiwallahs selling hot sweet tea and instant photographers offering the ultimate background of the Taj hotel or the gateway. Do partake of the boat ride- the diesel run bimoy ride will take out out a kilometre and back a hundred years. And the pigeons- every Victorian building attracts pigeons. Best tiem to visit is at sunrise when the city is still asleep.

As a first-time visitor to Mumbai, seeing the Gateway of India was truly one of the highlights of my trip. The moment I arrived, I was awestruck by the grandeur of this iconic monument. The structure itself, with its impressive Indo-Saracenic architecture, stands tall and majestic, overlooking the Arabian Sea. It feels like stepping into a piece of history — you can almost imagine the days when important dignitaries arrived here during the British era. What truly made the experience special was the breathtaking view. Facing the open sea, with the cool breeze on your face and the sound of the waves in the background, the entire scene feels both peaceful and inspiring. The area is lively yet not overwhelming — people are enjoying the view, clicking photos, or simply soaking in the atmosphere. Right across from the Gateway stands the famous Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, which adds to the charm of the place. The view of this grand hotel alongside the Gateway is picture-perfect, especially as the sun starts to set and the lights slowly illuminate the surroundings. Everything about my visit felt just right — the clean promenade, the vibrant energy of visitors, and the rich history all around. It’s a spot where you can pause, reflect, and truly appreciate the beauty and spirit of Mumbai. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city for the first time.

Ganapati Bappa Morya! Visiting Mumbaicha Raja’s Siddi Vinayak divine temple is nothing short of a spiritual retreat. The constant chant of “Ganapati Bappa Morya” fills the air, instantly soaking you in devotion. The temple is well-organized with separate paid Sevas for those seeking a deeper experience. The highlight for me was the ₹20 laddu prasad (2 pieces) – fresh, soft, and simply delicious, I’d rate it a solid ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5). The temple management has also thoughtfully provided ample chappal stands both outside and after the metal detector gate, making it very convenient. The visit leaves you feeling blessed. .

This October 21st, I chose to begin my birthday not with cake or candles, but with prayers and peace - at the sacred Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai. As the first rays of sunlight kissed the city, I stood before Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, with folded hands and a heart full of gratitude. There’s something profoundly grounding about being in the presence of centuries-old faith. The chants, the fragrance of incense, the rhythmic ringing of bells - everything felt like a divine symphony orchestrated just for the soul. I offered my prayers not just for myself, but for everyone who’s been a part of my journey - family, friends, mentors, and even those silent supporters who’ve cheered me on from afar. This visit wasn’t just a ritual; it was a moment of reflection. I looked back at the year gone by - the highs, the lows, the lessons, and the growth. And I felt nothing but thankfulness. Life has its own way of teaching us, and I’m learning to embrace it all with grace. As I stood in the temple courtyard, watching the crowd move with devotion and hope, I realized how blessed I am to witness another year, another sunrise, another chance to become a better version of myself. The energy of Siddhivinayak is magnetic - it doesn’t just bless you, it uplifts you. I left the temple with a tilak on my forehead, prasad in my hand, and a renewed spirit in my heart. This birthday felt different - not loud, not lavish, but deeply meaningful. And that’s exactly what I needed. To everyone who sent their wishes, thank you for making me feel loved. To Lord Ganesha, thank you for guiding me. And to life - thank you for the journey so far and the road ahead. Here’s to new beginnings, divine blessings, and a heart that stays grateful. 🌺🪔

Recently, I had the chance to drive over the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, and it was truly a mesmerizing experience. The best time to visit is around 7:00 to 7:30 PM, just when the sun is setting and the sky turns into shades of orange and pink. The view of the Arabian Sea with the glowing sunset in the background looks absolutely magical. As the bridge curves gently over the water, the cool breeze and peaceful vibe make the drive unforgettable. It’s clean, well-maintained, and gives a different kind of calmness even in the heart of a busy city like Mumbai. As the sun sets and night begins, the entire Sea Link lights up, offering a completely different vibe. The beautifully lit cables and smooth road beneath the dark sky create a perfect blend of modern architecture and nature. Though bikes aren’t allowed, the car drive itself is enough to enjoy the charm of this place. If you're ever in Mumbai, don’t miss an evening or night drive on this iconic bridge—it feels like a scene from a movie. Truly, a peaceful escape in the middle of city chaos!

If you are planning to visit Mumbai or drive around the city, the Bandra-Worli Sea Link is something you should know about. It is an 8-lane bridge built over the sea, connecting Bandra to Worli. This means you don’t have to take the long and crowded route through Mahim and Dadar. Is it worth it? Yes. It saves a lot of time, especially during peak hours. What used to take 40–60 minutes can now take just 10–15 minutes. Who can use it? Only four-wheelers like cars and taxis. Two-wheelers, autos, and pedestrians are not allowed. It is safe, smooth, and has fewer chances of traffic jams. How much is the toll? It’s around ₹100 for a one-way trip. A return ticket or monthly pass is also available. The toll booth is fast with digital payment options too. How is the view? Very beautiful. You drive above the sea, and during sunset or at night, it looks amazing. But you cannot stop on the bridge to click photos. Any traffic issues? Usually not, but sometimes it slows down due to VIP movement or accidents. Early morning or late evening is the best time for a peaceful drive. Cleanliness and road condition? Very clean, modern, and well-maintained. Road quality is excellent. Anything to be careful about? Maintain your speed, don’t stop, and follow the lane discipline. There are cameras and police on duty. Should you go? Definitely. Even if you’re a tourist, take a cab and ask to drive through it at least once. It's not just a bridge – it’s a modern symbol of Mumbai’s growth.

One beautiful masterpiece of modern architecture! Worli sea link provides a magnificent driving experience with a view of the Arabian Sea on one side and the tall skyscrapers of south Mumbai on the other side. Speed limit is 80 km/hr.

The Bandra-Worli Sea Link is more than just a bridge—it’s a breathtaking blend of engineering brilliance and coastal beauty. Stretching gracefully over the Arabian Sea, it connects Bandra and Worli in minutes, saving commuters hours while offering views that could rival any postcard. Driving across feels almost cinematic, with the sparkling waters on either side and the iconic Mumbai skyline unfolding in the distance. Whether by day, when the sun bathes the structure in golden light, or by night, when its cables glow like strings of pearls, the Sea Link never fails to impress. The ride is smooth, the architecture is world-class, and the sense of freedom you feel mid-bridge is unmatched. For the best experience, drive through during early mornings or late evenings when traffic is light—you’ll be able to fully savour the panoramic views and ocean breeze. The toll is a small price to pay for such a unique experience. The Bandra-Worli Sea Link isn’t just an infrastructure marvel; it’s a symbol of Mumbai’s ambition, connecting not only two ends of the city but also tradition and modernity. A must-visit for anyone who wants to see Mumbai at its most majestic.

This place should be on must visit list in monsoon if you are exploring western ghats. Going here is easy, as for most of the part road conditions are very good. You can come by car, 2 wheeler etc. In ghat section roads are narrow so expect some traffic during monsoon season. Also there is possibility of land slide etc. There are multiple waterfall points in the ghat area where government has build staircase , protective structures to access it easily. Make sure while you park your vehicle, you are not blocking on going traffic. I have seen people doing it. Be a responsible citizen. Same thing go for plastic and other garbage. In monsoon and winter expect lot of foggy weather which limits visibility so be careful. Most of the people I see go till ghat and return if they are coming from pune-nashik highway. I would highly recommend to go down till ghat ends, you will see amazing views.

A Must-Visit Ghat Road for Nature Lovers – Especially in Monsoon!🌦🌧 Malshej Ghat⛰️ is truly a paradise for nature lovers and an unforgettable ghat road journey. During the peak monsoon season, the beauty of this place is at its best. As I traveled through the ghat around 10 AM, the entire route was wrapped in fog🌫☁, creating a mystical and serene atmosphere. Riding a two-wheeler made the experience even more adventurous and thrilling. Along the way, I witnessed numerous small waterfalls cascading down the hillsides and stunning mountain views all around. I frequently stopped at different spots just to soak in the breathtaking scenery. At one spot, something magical happened—within just a few minutes, the thick fog suddenly cleared and revealing a fantastic view🏞. Moments like these make the journey truly unforgettable.

Nestled within the Sanjay Gandhi National Park in Mumbai, India, the Kanheri Caves are a remarkable testament to ancient Buddhist architecture and art. Carved by monks over 2,000 years ago, these 109 caves feature rock-hewn temples adorned with intricate sculptures, paintings of Buddha, and inscriptions dating from the 1st century BCE to the 10th century AD.
Kanheri Caves, situated at Borivali. The Caves carved from solid rocks, in the era 2nd BC to 11th BC. Somewhere when Samrat Ashoka wanted to spread the Buddhist Religion. There are 102 Caves situated at various levels. The Budh Stupas which are a common in Buddhist are seen at various levels. Once upon a time it was free to Public, but now they have started with entrance tickets. INR 103/- per person. For Senior Citizens the price is kept the same. A yearly pass for Senior Citizens is available only from Tuesdays to Fridays @ INR 41/-. The pass must be available on Sundays too. The ticket window opens at 8.00 a.m. only. They should make arrangements to start earliest by 7.00 a.m. Public can start by 7.00 a.m. and by the time Sun starts spreading its heat, people can start returning. The carvings are beautiful, it is difficult to understand how in those days people must have carved in the Rock? Drainage system, fresh water pockets all well thought and seen. The famous Buddhist Stupas are seen at various Caves. Few Caves are situated at an elevated levels. Sculptures are marvelous but few are damaged mat be by the Invaders in those times. Security is stationed at all levels. WashRoom facility is available. Even Canteen facility is available, picnic tables are layed for people to enjoy there breakfast or snacks. One should be careful of the Monkeys, they are spread in all the areas. It is mind boggling to see such architectural beauty of those times when proper instruments erre not available but still people have worked and have made such wonders. One has to see it physically to experience this fact. At each Cave an inscription is displayed, explaining the details of that particular Cave. Archeological Society has constructed few steps with railings for people to climb up the levels.

Visited: November 2024 I'm an explorer who loves to visit historical and archaeological places, and Kanheri Caves was a real treat! Took a train to Borivali and then a shared auto for ₹25 to reach Sanjay Gandhi National Park. From there, I took the ₹20 shuttle bus that takes you straight to the caves. It’s amazing how such a peaceful and serene spot exists in the middle of Mumbai! The caves are well-maintained, and the history here is incredible. I was astonished by the big standing Buddha statue—it’s both impressive and calming. The ancient water management system carved into the stone is fascinating—stone channels and cisterns designed to collect and guide rainwater. It’s amazing how advanced the architecture was for its time. The ancient monk cells were another highlight—small, carved-out rooms where monks once lived and meditated. Walking through them, you really feel the quiet, spiritual atmosphere of the place. It’s like stepping back into a different time. I spent about 3 hours exploring every cave—be prepared for a lot of walking and stairs. Carry plenty of water, wear comfortable shoes, and take your time to appreciate the surroundings. There are plenty of shaded spots to rest, which definitely helps. A big thanks to the security guards—one of them saved me from an aggressive monkey and handed me his stick for protection. Beware of monkeys if you’re carrying food—they’re quick! Tip: Go early to avoid the heat, keep your food sealed, and enjoy the peaceful vibe of this historical escape. It’s definitely worth a visit.

The caves are very cool, and it's a great hiking spot. The only downside is the amount of trash dumped, which is really a shame for such a beautiful place.

I think EsselWorld is a great spot to spend your weekend rather than going outside Mumbai. It has a Bird park , Water Park and Peace Pagoda. And most importantly, Greenery everywhere. I have created a full video and uploaded it on my YouTube channel. Name : Discover India with Uttam. Easiest way to go there is 1. First reach to boriwali railway station 2. Take bus or Rickshaw (10-15 min from the station) 3. Ferry ride of 15 min ( 100 rs ticket return Journey) Peace Pagoda don't have an entry ticket.It is a beautiful hidden spot in Mumbai. If you are planing Bird park then please visit in Oct - Dec. Hope it helps

Families and kids love Rio Grande Train, Mirror Maze, and Monsters in the Mist. The park has something for everyone — from mild fun rides to heart-pounding roller coasters. Clean and Well-Maintained Environment Many visitors praise the park’s cleanliness and upkeep. The surroundings are neat, the rides are well-maintained, and safety measures are followed strictly. Perfect for Family Outings and School Trips EsselWorld is a favorite destination for family outings, school picnics, and group trips. The park’s layout, open spaces, and wide range of entertainment options make it a joyful experience for both children and adults. Beautiful Location and Vibe Located near Gorai Beach, reaching EsselWorld itself is fun — you can take a short and scenic ferry ride from Marve or Borivali. The park has a lively, colorful, and energetic atmosphere that adds to the overall fun. Good Food and Facilities The food courts offer plenty of options — from Indian snacks to multi-cuisine meals. Visitors appreciate the vegetarian food options, reasonable prices, and hygienic environment. Value for Money The ticket prices are considered reasonable for the experience you get. Combo packages with Water Kingdom offer even more fun for You said: And some pics ChatGPT said: Here are some photos of EsselWorld / Water Kingdom, Mumbai — shows rides, the entrance, people enjoying, the colourful vibe. If you want, I can send higher-resolution images or specific ones (like roller coasters, water rides, kids’ zone) for your post.

It is one of the best amusement park of India. The place contains the ride for children as well as for adults. One can spend a whole day here and have fun. The entry price is also fine but it doesn’t include all the rides, for some rides you will be charged at their respective counters. They have a theatre as well in the park. Their are two sections of the park one is the amusement and the other one is water. Regarding the price for the food it’s way too high and the outside food is not allowed which at last will help in increasing your budget. The place is good for friends family and children.

Went for a weekend ride from Mumbai. To have a blessings from him. This place holds a divine energy. It was a surreal feeling when you see him with your own eyes. I went on Sunday so I was waiting for 4 hrs in queue. Although, there is a special pass entry available to save your time and have a quick darshan. The place and market area seems to be always busy. Overall best experience. Recommended to everyone to feel the energy. Also this place is located in a hilly area surrounded by greenery, dam & mountains from all over the side. So riding till this place through the mountains, forests and passing by small beautiful village makes your journey most scenic and beautiful. Definately enjoyed the climate. Accomodations are available from reasonable to luxury rates as it is one of the Jyotirlinga. One of the best getaway place to take a break from city life and feel the slow living life of villages.

The temple is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva, and its divine atmosphere fills every visitor with peace and devotion. The moment I entered the temple premises, I felt a deep sense of calmness and positivity. The architecture of the temple is ancient and beautifully carved from black stone, reflecting India’s rich heritage and devotion toward Lord Shiva.

The local people are polite and helpful. The natural beauty around Trimbakeshwar, especially the nearby hills and the origin of the sacred Godavari River, adds to the spiritual charm of the place. Overall, Trimbakeshwar Temple, Nashik is a must-visit destination for devotees and tourists alike. It offers not only a strong spiritual experience but also peace, positivity, and a glimpse into India’s deep cultural and religious roots.

Mythological Legacy: Associated with sage Gautama Maharishi and the descent of the Godavari, the temple is steeped in ancient lore. Architectural Beauty: Built in black stone in the Hemadpanthi style, the temple features intricate carvings and a serene courtyard. Rituals and Pujas: Known for powerful ceremonies like Kaal Sarp Dosh Puja, Narayan Nagbali, and Tripindi Shradh, performed by learned priests. Atmosphere: The air is thick with devotion, chants, and the scent of incense, creating a meditative ambiance.

Trimbakeshwar Temple is truly a divine and peaceful place filled with spiritual energy. The atmosphere around the temple is calm, and you can really feel a strong sense of devotion and positivity. The temple architecture and surroundings are beautiful, and it’s a must-visit for anyone seeking a soulful experience. However, the waiting time for darshan can be quite long, especially during weekends and festivals. It’s better to buy the VIP Darshan Pass to save time and have a smoother experience. The temple area is well maintained, and the local shops nearby add to the overall charm of the visit. A highly recommended place for spiritual seekers and devotees a memorable and blissful experience at one of the most sacred Jyotirlingas. 🕉️🙏

Visiting Trimbakeshwar Jyotirling in Nashik was an unforgettable spiritual experience. The temple holds immense significance as one of the 12 Jyotirlingas, and you can truly feel the divine energy the moment you enter the premises. The ancient architecture, the rhythmic chants, and the overall atmosphere create a powerful sense of devotion. Despite the crowds, the management is fairly organized, and the darshan line moves smoothly. The priests are helpful and guide you properly during the rituals. The surroundings are scenic, with lush greenery and the sacred Godavari River origin nearby, which adds even more beauty to the visit. Early morning darshan is especially peaceful and gives you the best experience. If you’re in or around Nashik, Trimbakeshwar is a must-visit not just for religious reasons, but for the calmness and spiritual connection the place naturally brings. 🙏

Trimbakeshwar Temple is a very beautiful and peaceful place. It is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva, which is located in Nashik, Maharashtra. When I went there, I felt a different kind of positive energy. The temple area is clean, and the environment is full of devotion. I waited for almost 5 hours for darshan, but when I finally saw Lord Shiva’s Jyotirlinga, all the tiredness disappeared. It was such a powerful and emotional moment that I will never forget in my life. The sound of “Har Har Mahadev” everywhere fills your heart with peace. People are very calm and respectful inside the temple. The priests guide nicely, and everything is well managed. Behind the temple, there is a small river, and the view there is just amazing. The water is so clear and peaceful. You can feed the fish, and when you sit near the river, your mind becomes completely calm. The mountains around the place make it even more beautiful. It is truly a place where you can feel peace, faith, and positivity together. A must-visit place for everyone who believes in God and inner peace. 🙏 Har Har Mahadev! 🙏

Beautiful temple ❤️ You can surely get goosebumps while visiting this place. The temple is surrounded with large mountains called bramhagiri. The temple has both free and paid darshans. If you have patience and if you think you can wait for more than 4-5 hours you can choose free dharshan this is on weekend. Otherwise you can choose 200 special dharshan. In 200 ticket you can go little faster as the Q line is less compared to free dharshan But once you enter into the temple everyone as same dharshan access and entrance. So, it's depends on people to take the 200 ticket dharshan. Once you enter into the temple you need to be more focused and concentrated while visiting the lord jyotirlinga as the lingam is deep inside. They arranged mirror in reflection form so that you can look at the top. But try to watch directly. I would like to recommend each and everyone to visit this beautiful temple at once. ❤️ Om namah shivaya 🙏♥️

Sula Vineyards, located in Nashik, about 180 kilometers northeast of Mumbai, is a renowned winery celebrated for its diverse grape wine varietals such as Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, and Zinfandel. What began as a modest 30-acre estate has now expanded to cover nearly 1800 acres across Nashik and Karnataka. This expansive estate welcomes visitors every day of the year to indulge in wine tasting and vineyard tours.
Sula Vineyards is such a fun and chill place to hang out. The lights and colorful chairs make the vibe really cool at night. Food and wine together taste just perfect here. 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! 💫😊

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

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.
RANJAN K — Google review
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.

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.”

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.

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. Staff were helpful, valet parking was reliable, and there’s free Wi‑Fi and ATMs available. Overall rating: ★★★★★. Best visited on weekdays to avoid weekend crowds. A great day-out spot with family or friends.

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
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.

The palace museum houses a fine collection of royal artifacts, weapons, paintings, and sculptures that offer a glimpse into the glorious past. The lush green golf course and the huge palace grounds make the experience even more delightful. The audio-guided tour is very informative, giving visitors deep insights into the royal family’s lifestyle and the palace’s history. The maintenance of the property is excellent, and the staff are polite and helpful. Photography is allowed in certain areas, so don’t forget to capture the stunning views.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The vibe is really chill—whether you're walking around, sitting by the lake, or just soaking in the scenery, it feels like a perfect getaway. There's also a cool spot nearby called Toad Rock, where you can hike a little and get an awesome view of the lake from above.

Nakki Lake is a scenic spot surrounded by a walking trail. From the parking, you need to walk about 200–300 meters to reach the lake, or you can take a horse ride. The place is calm and nice for a stroll, paddle boating, or just sitting on the benches around the lake. There’s also a market nearby, but it’s mostly food stalls and ice cream shops with a few local items. A peaceful place to relax, though not much beyond boating and eating.

The exquisite white marble structures feature intricate jali stonework, delicate filigree work, and scenes from Jain scriptures.

The Dilwara Temples, serene and sublime, Echo tales of devotion, untouched by time. Carved from marble, pure and white, Each sculpture a masterpiece, glowing in light. From ceiling to pillar, the details astound, In every curve, divinity is found. Built between the 11th and 13th years, They stand unshaken through time and tears. Vimal Vasahi, in honor of Adinath, Welcomes all souls on their spiritual path. The silence here speaks more than words, As chants and prayers gently stir. No cameras, just memories kept, In hearts of those who’ve bowed and wept. More than a temple, it’s a timeless ode— To art, to faith, on a quiet hill road. A visit here calms, inspires, and thrills— A sacred jewel in the Rajasthani hills.

It stays naturally cool inside, and the atmosphere feels very calm and spiritual. You need to remove your shoes outside before entering, so be prepared for that too. Rating: 4/5 Time spent: Around 30–40 minutes Best for: Families, art lovers, or anyone looking for peace and a break from the crowd.

Dilwara Temple is an ancient Jain temple, famous for its stunning marble carvings and peaceful atmosphere. It’s one of the most important places of worship for the Jain community. Phones, cameras, smartwatches, and food are not allowed inside, which helps keep the sanctity intact. Entry timings are different—Jains can enter from 7 AM, while visitors can enter between 12 PM and 5 PM. A must-visit in Mount Abu for both its beauty and spiritual feel.

Dilwara Jain Temple, Mount Abu Dilwara Jain Temple is one of the finest examples of ancient Indian craftsmanship and devotion. Built between the 11th and 13th century by the Chalukya dynasty, the temple is world-famous for its marble carvings, which look more like lacework than stone. Every pillar, arch and ceiling reflects unmatched detailing and dedication. The temple complex is situated on a mountain bed, offering a picturesque view of Mount Abu with a serene, spiritual ambience. The calm surroundings add to its divinity and make the visit truly blissful. During my visit, I had a brief exchange with a local store owner outside the premises and later offered prayers at the small Ganesh temple located near the entrance. It felt humble and peaceful. Photography and mobiles are officially not allowed inside, but I managed to carry mine — Om Shanti. A visit to Dilwara Temple is not just a tour of architecture, but a quiet spiritual experience wrapped in marvellous artistry.

Oh my God, what an amazing experience. You have to see it to believe it. Step into a world carved from pure white marble — the Dilwara Jain Temples near Mount Abu. Every pillar, dome, and arch tells a story of devotion and divine artistry from the 11th century. Serene, sacred, and stunningly detailed, this hidden gem in the Aravalli hills is where spiritual grace meets timeless craftsmanship — a masterpiece that truly feels sculpted by faith. 1. The Dilwara Temples are a group of five marble temples built between the 11th and 13th centuries, dedicated to various Jain Tirthankaras. 2. They are world-renowned for their extraordinary marble craftsmanship — often said to be more intricate than even the Taj Mahal. 3. The Vimal Vasahi Temple, dedicated to Lord Adinath, is the oldest and most magnificent among the five. 4. The Ranakpur-like detailed carvings on ceilings, doorways, pillars, and domes depict scenes from Jain mythology and everyday life. 5. The Ranga Mandap (central dome) features beautifully carved figures of gods, goddesses, and dancers in perfect symmetry. 6. Every inch of the temple — from the ceilings to the pillars — displays divine geometry and delicate artistry in white marble. 7. The Luna Vasahi Temple, built by two brothers in honor of Lord Neminath, is famed for its stunning marble canopy and elaborate carvings. 8. Despite their grandeur, the temples maintain a spiritual calm and simplicity, reflecting Jain ideals of purity and devotion. 9. Photography is strictly prohibited inside, to preserve the sanctity and artistry of the temple interiors. 10. Surrounded by the lush Aravalli hills, the temples stand as a timeless example of Jain devotion, architectural mastery, and meditative peace. There is a new RADISSON resort which has come up in Mount Abu and DELWARA temple is just 6 mins away from the resort. We stayed here. ..!

Dilwara Jain Temples are undoubtedly the crown jewel of Mount Abu. The marble carvings are breathtaking, and the craftsmanship from the 11th–13th century truly reflects the height of Jain artistry. Every inch of the temple interiors—from ceilings to pillars—showcases intricate detailing that’s both spiritual and architectural brilliance. However, visiting comes with strict rules that tourists should know beforehand: 🚫 Things to Know Before You Go: Shorts/Half pants are not allowed for anyone over 5 years of age—entry is denied unless you wear full-length clothing. Only Jains are allowed inside the main Garbh Grah (sanctum sanctorum) for puja or darshan; others can only view from outside. Mobile phones and electronics are strictly prohibited and must be submitted at the counter. > A ₹50 fee is charged per family for mobile deposit, which is non-refundable. ✅ Pros: World-class marble carvings and historical Jain art Very calm and spiritual atmosphere Well-maintained despite high footfall ❌ Cons: Strict dress code and religious restrictions may disappoint some tourists No photography allowed inside ₹50 mobile submission fee may feel unnecessary --- 📝 Final Verdict Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5) The Dilwara Jain Temples are a must-visit for art, architecture, and peace. But make sure you are dressed appropriately, respect the temple rules, and come prepared for a restricted experience if you're not a follower of Jainism. They don't allow phones inside the temple.

Every inch of the marble architecture speaks of devotion and craftsmanship beyond time. The calmness inside transcends words, making it not just a place of worship, but a journey into peace and purity. Truly, a divine marvel that uplifts both the eyes and the soul. 🕊️✨

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

★☆☆☆☆ Fake Pictures and Very Bad Service This camp completely cheated us. They show beautiful pictures online, but nothing is like that in reality. The bedsheets were dirty, the camp was not clean, and the service was very poor. Totally unprofessional people — please don’t waste your money here!

Great tents were provided for us. The cultural program was nice, and the food was good. However, we felt the cultural program could have been a bit more interesting, as we got bored in the middle. It could have been better managed and more engaging. The food was good, and the staff were well-behaved

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!
