One of the best place in Morbi to hangout. I would strongly suggest to visit this place when you are in the city. There is a safe and enough place for parking.
Sunny V — Google review
As one enters Morbi swaying pylons of the suspension bridge and the beatific riverfront is a nostalgic reminder of Victorian London. Located 64 km from Rajkot is the town of Morbi with its quaint cobbled alleyways and buildings reminiscent of 19th century Europe. Morbi’s former ruler Sir Waghji inspired by Colonial influences designed a technologically planned and versatile city. The visitor is welcomed into the city through a grand suspension bridge, an artistic and technological marvel of that period. European influence in town planning further contributed to a central square known as the Green Chowk, approachable by three gates each designed in its own inimitable style incorporating both Rajput and Italian elements.

Fun World in Rajkot, Gujarat, truly lives up to its name, offering a world of enjoyment for visitors of all ages. As a premier amusement park in the region, it stands out for its fantastic array of rides and a wonderfully family-friendly atmosphere, making it an ideal destination for a memorable day out. One of the park's strongest appeals lies in its awesome rides. Whether you're an adrenaline junkie or prefer something more gentle, Fun World has something to thrill everyone. From heart-pounding roller coasters like the "Sky Train" and "Dragon Coaster" that deliver exhilarating twists and drops, to the dizzying "Tora Tora" and "Spin Tora," thrill-seekers are sure to get their fix. For those who enjoy a bit of friendly competition, the "Striking Cars" (bumper cars) are always a hit. The park also boasts unique attractions such as a Horror Show and a 4D Theatre that add an immersive dimension to the entertainment. What's particularly commendable is the apparent emphasis on maintenance and safety, which is crucial for peace of mind, especially when visiting with loved ones. Beyond the high-octane excitement, Fun World excels in providing a truly family-friendly environment. It's not just about the big rides; there's a dedicated "Kids Zone" with age-appropriate attractions like the Caterpillar, Fantasy Train, Flying Scooter, and Jumping House, ensuring that even the youngest guests have a blast.

Perfect place for kids to enjoy. This place has many rides which kids like a lot and many of these are suitable for adults as well. There are rides packages available at entrance at nominal cost like Rs 200 or so for 10-12 rides else one can also pay for individual rides at multiple counters present inside the premises as well. The place is majorly clean and toilet and water facility are available. Some options for Snacks icecreams etc are also available. One can find free Parking on main road outside. During late evening times the crowd is too much so one has to wait in long queues for his/ her turn for each ride. Overall nice breakout place for couple of hours.

Established in 2001 by Deepak Agrawal, the museum aims to educate children about global cultures through an entertaining experience.

It is a must visit and best place for kids to see different cultures around the world and that too under one roof. The Dolls Museum is one of it's kind with amazing dolls from around the world. A must visit place in Rajkot. The cultures of different countries are being reflected with the eye catchy doll setups. The place reflects different cultures from around 102+ country with 1600+ Dolls in museum. It's on 2nd and 3rd floor. There is a lift available. Monday is closed. The staff is also very well informed and they narrated us the complete story behind the set up of this museum. The main thing is no doll being purchased, but all dolls are being gifted by all rotary clubs around the world… The entry fee is Rs. 30 per person. There is extra Rs. 30 charge per camera if you want to take photographs. Cool place....

It's is one of the best museum of Gujarat, to understand the global culture. However its in narrow area, parking is also little problem. Worth to visit. Spare 1-2 hours.
Lalit G — Google review
A unique museum!! It's a rare opportunity to see a Dolls museum, here in Rajkot. Good to visit with children. The museum is situated on 2&3 rd floors. The lift was not working when we reached there. We had to climb steps. It was built by an ex Rotary president of Rajkot for his daughter. He wrote mails to Rotary branches of the world and hence many international branches sent dolls representing their country and regions. It takes around 1 hour to see all the exhibits. The rooms are air conditioned. The tickets cost ₹30 per adult and ₹15 per child. It costs another ₹125 if you want to click photos. The dolls represent their country's costume and culture. Children can spend good time there. However make sure they have emptied their bladder before. Because the toilet here is a medieval era one, on the ground floor. I wish the Rotary club would pay attention and renovate the toilet as kids come to this place.

In one word it is simply A Magical Journey Through Cultures! The Rotary International Dolls Museum in Rajkot is a fascinating wonderland for children of all ages: Over 1,600 dolls from 102+ countries, each showcased in traditional attire and set up with miniature scenes that let kids explore global cultures at a glance. Recognized in the Limca Book of Records for its unique and expansive collection. The displays include everything from folk dance dolls (like Bhangra and Dandiya) to Barbie and Einstein figurines, string/glove puppets, and even a rare Rocking Zebra—only one of five in the world! The themed showcases are beautifully lit and educational, with info about the country, culture, music, and costumes for each doll. Friendly and helpful staff guide visitors through the exhibits and share the fascinating stories behind many dolls. Includes interactive spaces like a cinema hall showing documentaries and cultural films, a Foreign Language Learning Centre, and a souvenir shop with stickers, postcards, and miniature flags. The Rotary International Dolls Museum is a safe, clean, and well‑maintained spot with plenty of visual stimulation and educational value. It’s perfect for a fun and cultural outing with kids. Every visit feels like a mini‑world tour where curious children can learn about cultures around the globe through beautiful doll displays. Note: Highly recommended Mainly for Kids.
Siva T — Google review
A total different experience. Must visit, just 30₹ pp entry fees. This museum is surely made due to low and attraction towards dolls by rotary club. Definitely not a commercial thought process. Much appreciate the concept. They have 2 floors of museum, soveniour shop inside and collection of 1800+ different dolls from approx. 108 countries. Totally different and unique experience. Worth visiting. Please note its closed on Monday.

It’s been great to see a father’s commitment to her daughter for building such a dolls museum because he wasn’t able to make her daughter saw museum in Delhi. Many activities are going on here with just deposit and if full attendance then they refund full amount. Really well preserved all dolls in museum and one Zebra ride kind of activity is great for kids.

The temple is truly a beautiful and peaceful place. It is very well maintained, and you can clearly see the efforts of the management and staff in keeping everything clean and organized. The surroundings are calm, the atmosphere is divine, and the entire place gives a sense of peace and positivity. However, visitors should also understand that it’s our shared responsibility to keep the temple clean. The staff and volunteers work hard every day to maintain the beauty and purity of this sacred place, but public cooperation is equally important. Please avoid littering, follow the temple rules, and help maintain the cleanliness and serenity of this divine place. A big appreciation to the temple management for their excellent maintenance and devotion towards keeping this holy place so pleasant and peaceful.

I have been visiting Salangpur Hanumanji Mandir for almost 25 years now and have witnessed its amazing transformation — from a small temple to a grand tirtha sthaan. The growth in the last 5–7 years is truly remarkable. The new dharamshala, with 952 rooms, is incredible — it feels like a 5-star hotel with all modern amenities. The new bhojanshala is outstanding too, with an impressive capacity and excellent management. As for the temple, there are no words — simply divine. Every visit feels special, and the murti of Hanumanji astonishes me every single time. All this is possible only because of Hanumanji’s grace and blessings on everyone who visits. Jai Shree Ram! 🙏

A Truly Divine and Transformative Experience at Sarangpur Hanuman Temple ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars: A Must-Visit Pilgrimage Site in Gujarat The Kashtbhanjan Hanuman Temple in Sarangpur is not just a place of worship; it is an experience that touches the soul. My visit here was profoundly peaceful and spiritually uplifting. Atmosphere and Environment: The moment you step into the sprawling temple complex, you are struck by a sense of calm and divinity. The air resonates with chants and devotion. Despite the crowds (especially on Saturdays and Tuesdays), the management is incredibly efficient, ensuring a smooth darshan (viewing) process. The temple itself is stunning, showcasing the signature, intricate architecture associated with the Swaminarayan tradition. The cleanliness of the entire premises is commendable. Spiritual Significance & the Deity: The central belief that Lord Hanuman here alleviates all sufferings (kasht) and evil influences is powerful, and the atmosphere reinforces this faith. The murti (idol) of Hanuman Ji is majestic and vibrant, inspiring instant reverence. Facilities and Hospitality: The temple trust does a fantastic job of managing facilities. Clean and affordable accommodation options are available, making it feasible for multi-day visits. The food at the canteen/dining hall is simple, hygienic, and satisfying. Overall Impression: My time at Sarangpur provided immense mental peace and a powerful spiritual recharge. It's a place where faith is visibly tangible. If you are seeking solace, a highly organized pilgrimage experience, or simply a magnificent architectural marvel, make sure to visit this divine abode. It is truly one of the most powerful and well-managed temples I have ever visited in India

Lothal, Archaeological Remains Of A Harappa Port-Town

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Sights & Landmarks
Archaeological museum
Lothal, located in Gujarat, India, is an ancient city dating back to 2400 BCE and was a significant center of the Indus Valley Civilization. The name 'Lothal' means 'Mound of the Dead' in Gujarati. It was known for its advanced urban planning, dockyards, and drainage system. Situated along trade routes connecting Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley, it played a crucial role in trade and commerce.
For history enthusiasts, Lothal offers a unique chance to walk through a city that was once a thriving port and trade center. It's a must-visit for history buffs, offering a rare glimpse into the ancient Indus Valley Civilization. While the site itself is impressive, visitor facilities and information are limited, so manage your expectations and prepare for a largely self-guided tour.
Amit V — Google review
Slightly remote place, on the way to bhavnagar from ahmedabad. There is less public transportation means. Very nice place to feel the ancient history, no entry fees for visiting the site. Lothal museum is under construction about 5 km from the site.
Keshwanand K — Google review
A must-visit place for history lovers! Lothal is one of the most fascinating sites of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization. It’s amazing to see how advanced people were thousands of years ago — with a proper dockyard, drainage system, and town planning. The museum nearby showcases pottery, seals, and artifacts that give you a real sense of life during that time. The place is peaceful, surrounded by nature, and perfect for a day trip from Ahmedabad. If you love history, archaeology, or just want to explore India’s ancient roots, Lothal is definitely worth visiting.
Darshan K — Google review
Not much in terms of excavation, but a lovely place teeming with birds! Though a huge museum is coming up nearby. Worth a visit only if passing through nearby.
Mehul J — Google review
The Harappa civilization site at Lothal is a very beautiful place. It exudes a sense of peace, and the cool breeze makes you wonder why the people of Lothal chose to live here—perhaps it was because of this serene environment and pleasant climate. Although the structures are very old, their condition is gradually deteriorating because visitors enter the ruins, causing damage. In its current open state, it seems like the Archaeological Survey of India is not actively preserving it. The cemetery appears almost lost, with no accessible path to reach it. Overall, the site is very enriching for history enthusiasts, while others may see it as just a casual visit. However, you can truly appreciate that the people of that era had knowledge of science and mathematics. The government should take action to protect and preserve this heritage site.
Rajveer P — Google review
Visiting lothal on weekends specially on early morning drives is recommended. I have visited yhe site at post monsoon so the dockyard is full of water giving real vibe. The location shows there is a museum is permenent closed. If you have prior knowledge of this site then this visit could be the most interesting. Otherwise you real roam around and exit.
Devashree P — Google review
Best time to visit this place is during winters. You will be able to sit and experience the thousands of years of history here. A must visit for history enthusiast. Currently the archeological musuem is under construction. There is no information when it will open again, therefore you won't be able see the artifacts that have been found here. But the site is open and you can definitely visit it.
Srijeeta S — Google review
Visited Lothal with family and really enjoyed the experience. The place gives a simple but amazing glimpse into one of the world’s oldest civilizations. Seeing the ancient dockyard and town layout felt like stepping back in time. Display photos of interesting artifacts explains things nicely. The area is peaceful, clean, and easy to explore. Carry water and a cap because the sun likes to attend the tour too. Great spot for a short, educational family trip. Perfect for anyone curious about old Indian history in a calm setting.

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.

Sidi Saiyyed Masjid

Mentioned on

Mosque
Sights & Landmarks
Sidi Saiyyed Mosque, constructed in 1573, is a stunning example of Islamic architecture located in Ahmedabad. The mosque is famous for its intricate latticework, particularly the delicate tree designs carved into its stone windows. This architectural gem showcases the influence of the African diaspora in India and features a mesmerizing sixteen-foot Sidi Saiyyed Jaali with the Tree of Life motif.
The Sidi Saiyyed Mosque, built by a prominent Habshi noble in 1572–73, is revered for its exquisite jali screens—especially the iconic Tree of Life motif—and is celebrated as one of the finest monuments of Indo-Islamic art in Ahmedabad. Its enduring legacy reflects both its architectural vibrancy and the cultural history of the city.

ஆங்கிலத்தில் எழுதுவதற்கு மன்னிக்கவும் dt 22-03-25. Do Not Travel to Gujarat from March to July, the heat is very very very High. Visited this famous well known mosque. Ladies are not allowed inside the mosque. Mosque is quiet small and compact, but highlights the beauty of the indo islamic architecture. Built in the year 1572-73 by an Abyssinian (person from Ethiopia) called Sidi Saiyyed, who served under the then sultan. This mosque is well known for the wonderful intricate carvings in stone and their unique semi circular tracery windows, depicting the tree of life. Paper cutouts were made of the carved screens from which two wooden replicas were made and these are now in museum in London and New york. The driver was telling us that this mosque is still in use as the emblem of the Ahmedabad municipality. The grave of sidi saiyyed is inside this mosque. The mosque is in a congested area, hence parking is out of the question. Definitely worth a visit to admire the wonderful jalli work in the windows.

Sidi Masjid, Ahmedabad A fine symbol of the Sultanate art and architecture of Ahmedabad. The intricate jalis (stone lattice work) here are unique and a true masterpiece of craftsmanship. Located in the heart of the old city, the mosque stands quietly amid a peaceful Mohammedan locality. Anyone can visit here, even Hindus — a serene place where history, art, and faith blend beautifully. A must visit for ART and history lovers.. Small place would take hardly 10 minutes

Manek Chowk Rd, located in the heart of Old Ahmedabad, is a bustling market that offers a unique experience throughout the day. In the morning, it serves as a lively vegetable market with an array of colorful produce. As the day unfolds, it transforms into a vibrant jewelry market where visitors can explore exquisite treasures. By nightfall, the street comes alive with an enticing array of street food stalls offering delicious local cuisine.
An amazing experience! The 9898 Jamun shot and Ghughra sandwich are a must-try.

Vijay P — Google review
I visited Manek Chowk in Ahmedabad during a corporate trip. It’s near Jama Masjid and Delhi Gate and famous as a late-night food market open until 1 or 2 a.m. We went there because most of Ahmedabad closes by 8–9 p.m., unlike Delhi which stays lively late. Honestly, the experience was underwhelming. The area is crowded, but there are only 8–10 food carts, mostly selling the same items like bhaji pav, pulao, kaju pulao, small pizzas, and some South Indian snacks. Everything is served on plastic chairs and tables in open air, and hygiene seemed low. The only highlight for us was the jamun fruit shots they were really fresh and tasty. Overall, if you want a full dining experience, I wouldn’t recommend it. But if you just want to experience the local late-night food vibe in Ahmedabad, it’s worth a quick visit.

Rajan R — Google review
Rating: 1/5(As can't give zero stars) Tried Mysore Masala Dosa, Manchurian Noodles, and Cold Coco — would rate them 1/5, 1/5, and 3/5 respectively. The dosa was a disaster — dripping with oil, almost fried. Someone, a decade ago, probably decided to fuse sweet curd/lassi with masala dosa, and people just went along. It’s honestly the murder of authentic South Indian food. Sambhar was just average. The noodles tasted like ₹10 roadside fare — overly salty, with small-length noodles. The Manchurian was extremely dry, halved pieces resembling soy chunks. Every food outlet seemed to serve the same mediocre stuff, just under different names. And the crowd — chaotic, overcrowded, barely space to stand.Even Fish Market is less noisy then this place. Prices are also overhyped and unjustified for the quality offered. For a tourist, I’d strongly recommend skipping this so-called “iconic” Manek Chowk. Ahmedabad has better and cleaner places to enjoy local flavours.

The beach has potential but falls short in cleanliness and proper maintenance. The area feels quite dirty, and the development seems haphazard and unplanned.

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

From ruins to renewal: The city hides stories. The transformation from ancient ruins to a beautifully restored heritage site is truly impressive—hats off to SMC for the incredible work! The entire visit was seamless and well-managed. You never feel lost—thanks to the guards guiding you at every point and the dedicated Surat Fort app that gives you a virtual tour experience. It’s not just a monument—it’s a journey through history. If you're in Surat and haven’t been yet here, this place is a must visit. Trust me, it’s worth every moment. All the fort portion is fully air-conditioned so can be visit any season. Ticket price : 100 rs. (In cash only) Just one thing is missing they should except UPI payments too for ticket.

Had an amazing and truly rewarding experience at Surat Fort! The restoration is done beautifully and the place is full of Surat’s history — from stories of trade with Europeans in the 1600s to fascinating artifacts. I was surprised to learn that the fortifications actually started in the late 1300s. What made my visit even more special was meeting Mr. Sumesh Modi, the historian-architect researched the fort and led its restoration. Listening to him talk about the history and the behind-the-scenes restoration process made the visit unforgettable. Highly recommend spending 2–3 hours here. It’s a perfect way to explore Surat’s rich heritage and admire its stunning architecture.

This reconstructed fort is in good condition. Entry fee is rs100/-per person. Open at 10am close at 5pm. Very nice fort to see with family and friends. There is various types of musiums in the fort ie canons pistols coins sculptures ancient War things wardrobes etc. Though this fort is in guirat sultan time it get value in English reign. They reboot strong fort here. This is first English factory in India. Price worthy place to visit.

The restoration work was massive. The place is like a museum itself with many artifacts. But you cannot roam freely as you wish even if you want a picture you don't have time as oftenly they force you to continue the visit. There are many restricted areas in outside places whereby only outside front view of the fort is allowed. It was good as a museum visit but I wanted to see the core structure of a 5 century old castle and fort which they denied access for security issues as some parts are still under renovation which I can understand but for restricted outer space I think it mainly because they don't want you to see the small slum behind the fort or garbages. Overall good experience but can still improve.

I went to the fort without any expectations as it looked small compared to forts in Rajasthan or Maharashtra. There is an entry ticket of 100INR. The Govt. has done a fabulous job of renovating and maintaining the fort. Once you enter the fort, follow the instructions of the security guard and visit each room in that order. The fort has beautiful collections of coins, stamps, ivory, furniture, jewellery, etc. in the different rooms. The history of the fort is shown in a video at the start as well as a display with information and pictures.

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

Out of respect, we didn't click any pics instead of the temple. 1. The guards were very polite and humble to talk to. 2. There are many sculptures, and I request people not to touch them. 3. The gurudwara is one of its kind. Do not miss it. 4. Peaceful and very well maintained place. 5. You have to submit your identity proof. They will return it once you are done with your exit. There is no charge or fees.

The temple is unique with main deity as Dakshineshwar Shiva in form of Shiv Murti (rather than linga). The temple is located within the premises maintained by Indian Army and hence entry is regulated where you need to carry an Identity Card (License, PAN, Aadhar or such). Needless to mention that being maintained by Army it is very clean and crowd is managed well. The temple premises have various small shrines of multiple gods, Navgraha, Ganpati, Sai Baba, Buddha, etc.

I am visiting it since my childhood. In the heart of the city, one of the oldest temple yet so esthetic, peaceful, calm and positive vibes around. EME (Electrical & Mechanical Engineering Temple) or also known as Dakshinamurthy temple is under the preservense of EME. Hence one of the groupember must submit Photo ID proof with number of person taking entry and vehicle details. After that they'll allow you to take your vehicle in. If you are riding 2 wheeler, helmet is cumpolsary for all travellers otherwise you need to park outside the entry point and go by walk. Temple timing: 5:30 am to 08:30 pm. Dress code: Modest clothing that covers the shoulders, chest, and knees.

Each design detail, from the dome to the tower, represents different faiths, making it a place of universal reverence You need to show and deposit your id card at the entrance. No fees- free visit. Collect your ID back when you leave.

Nice Garden Lots of greenery Only negative is that there’s a buggy car with 20 INR per person ride, since no one around they took 100 INR for us 3 as no one was taking buggy. On asking how many minutes, counter lady told 15/18 minutes and once we sat on buggy, in exactly 9 minutes he got us back. We felt cheated but they didn’t bother. Toy Train also had big waiting for train parked and lots of kids and family disappointed

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.

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.

Visiting Laxmi Vilas Palace is truly a royal experience. The sheer grandeur of the architecture, the beautifully manicured gardens, and the rich history reflected in every corner make it a must-visit. The palace interiors showcase exquisite artwork, ornate halls, and royal collections that transport you back in time. We visited during the weekend so it was a bit crowded. We didn't have to wait in a queue. The security at the entrance n exit guide you with the needed information. The museum inside offers fascinating insights into the Gaekwad dynasty, with displays of weapons, paintings, and artifacts. The Darbar Hall, with its stunning chandeliers and Venetian mosaic flooring, is breathtaking. The audio guide is well-curated and helps you appreciate the heritage even more. The sprawling lawns and golf course add to the charm, and the upkeep of the property is commendable. Entry is well-organized, though prior permission is required for certain areas. Overall, Laxmi Vilas Palace is not just a monument but an experience that blends culture, history, and elegance. A must-see gem of Vadodara. There are some places in the premises that needs a lot of restoration and the exterior needs some renovation work and painting. It rained a lot that day so we had to rush back from the lawn area. Overall a well spent outing which can be completed in an hour or a little more. Photography is prohibited inside the palace

Beautiful place to visit. No regrets. It takes 2 hours to fully explore the palace. The audio guide is included in the ticket. So keep your tickets safely and don't lose them. To collect the audio guide show your ticket in the office administration and tell them the preferred language. The first point of the start of the palace is the statue near the Golf lawn. Don't miss the painting which is at the exit, before that you have to submit the audio guide and take sign.

**Dandi Beach (Near Navsari): ★★★★☆ for Peace, ✘ for Swimming** Craving profound coastal tranquility? **Dandi Beach is a must-visit sanctuary.** Experience vast, uncrowded sands, soothing waves, and breathtaking sunrises/sunsets perfect for long walks, meditation, or quiet contemplation. Its powerful historical significance as the **endpoint of Gandhi's Salt March** adds deep resonance. **However, heed this crucial warning: Bathing is NOT SAFE.** Strong currents and unpredictable waves make swimming dangerous – **seek other beaches for a dip.** Ideal for solitude seekers, history buffs, and peace lovers. Bring water, sunscreen, repellent, and respect the sea.

Dandi Beach is a peaceful and historically significant place that beautifully blends nature and legacy. Known for the iconic Salt March led by Mahatma Gandhi, the beach still carries that powerful aura of simplicity and resistance. The shoreline is calm and clean, making it a nice spot for a quiet walk or just to sit and watch the waves. There’s a gentle breeze and not too much crowd, which adds to its charm. The nearby Gandhi Smarak (memorial) is also worth visiting for a deeper connection to India’s freedom struggle. It’s a quiet retreat with a strong story — perfect for both reflection and relaxation.
Prajyot K — Google review
Dandi Beach during sunset is a truly peaceful and mesmerizing experience. As the sun slowly sets over the Arabian Sea, the sky turns shades of orange, pink, and gold, creating a beautiful reflection on the calm waters. The cool breeze, soft sand, and soothing sound of waves make the atmosphere calm and refreshing. The beach is not only scenic but also holds great historical importance, adding to the sense of connection and peace. Watching the sunset here feels like a perfect blend of nature and history. It’s an ideal place to relax, reflect, and enjoy the beauty of the moment.

Ajwa garden is a nice breakout from the city with several rides to enjoy as well as being Instagram friendly. We went on a sunday and it wasnt much crowded ( may be because of monsoon). We paid rs 195 per ticket for entry that included 2 free rides. Waterpark and water rides were not included in that ticket. It was fun visiting the garden. There was electric cycle option that charged rs 100 for 10 mins and was good to get a roy d of the entire park. The food court is nice and cost reasonable. The rides stopped as soon as it started to rain. There were ample parking place at the entry.

I’ve been to Essel World in Mumbai and a few other amusement parks, so personally, I didn’t find this one particularly impressive. That said, it’s still worth visiting once—especially if you’ve never been to an amusement park with rides before. It can be a decent experience for first-time visitors or families looking for something light and fun.

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

Rang Avdhoot Maharaj Mandir in Nareshwar is a peaceful and spiritually rich temple located by the Narmada River. The calm atmosphere and serene surroundings make it an ideal place for meditation and quiet reflection. The temple holds deep significance as it is the samadhi of Shri Rang Avdhoot Maharaj, and many devotees feel a special spiritual vibration here. The temple complex is clean and well-maintained, though some visitors mention that the riverbank could be better cared for. Basic lodging and food are available, but facilities are simple. The best time to visit is early morning or during sunset for a truly tranquil to experience. Festivals attract large crowds, so visiting on regular days offers a more peaceful atmosphere. Overall, this is a must-visit for those seeking inner peace and spiritual connection.

This is a religious place. Rang Avdhoot Maharaj a saint did Tapashya here. People believes your any Manokamna (wishes) get fulfilled here if you make a wish to Rang Avdhoot Maharaj. Samadhi of his mother also there adjacent to the main temple. Your any manokamna (wishes) may fulfil if you do pradakshina (take a round) of this Samadhi.

Very aesthetic place. Nice view of Narmada river. Vadodara about 50 kilometers. With parking facility. Best place to relax and meditate. But to reach near the river, we need to go downhill which is difficult for senior citizens. Same while going upwards. Excellent view. Camel and horse rides also there.

Divine and Holly place with temple and idol of Shri Rang Avadhoot maharaj. Place is covered with trees and is near bank of narmada. Bathing in the river is available. Food and parking facility is also available. Good for one day picnic.

Beach
Outdoor Activities
Devka Beach is a picturesque shoreline with numerous food stalls, bars, and options for camel or horse-riding. Visitors can also find shops and hotels in the vicinity. However, it's important to note that the area is currently undergoing significant construction work as part of a smart city project - leading to high pollution levels and dust that may not be suitable for tourists. As such, it may be better to avoid visiting Devka Beach until construction work is completed by June 22nd.
One of the most beautiful place in daman. Must visit during night n evening ..Devka Beach in Daman is truly one of the best beaches in India! With its wide shoreline, cool breeze, and stunning sea views, it's a perfect destination for families, couples, or anyone looking to unwind by the ocean. The beach is clean, well-maintained, and has recently become even more exciting with the addition of the new toy train attraction..

Although I didn't go near the water as I found the sand and water dirty n water muddy. The jogging path has been developed beautifully with broad clean roads n street lights. There are many restaurants along the corniche area . At the weekends, there are DJ playing music. Enjoyed our time there. Ample free parking area . The corniche area has been developed at least for a good 3 to 4 kilometers. Families drive down and come in the evenings to enjoy the cool sea breeze.

During our recent trip to Daman, we spent some time at Devka Beach, one of the most well-known spots in the area. The experience was a mix of natural beauty, leisure, and relaxation, perfectly suited for a laid-back Sunday. The beach stretches wide with its rocky shoreline and greyish sand, giving it a unique character compared to the more commercial beaches elsewhere. On the day we visited, the weather was cloudy and slightly humid, with the sound of waves hitting the rocks creating a calm and soothing atmosphere. The breeze made it an enjoyable walk along the promenade, and the views of the Arabian Sea were refreshing despite the overcast skies. The beach area is lively, attracting a good number of tourists and locals alike. Families, groups of friends, and children added to the cheerful atmosphere. Along the stretch, there are small stalls offering quick snacks and beverages, making it easy to grab a bite while enjoying the view. The nearby Devka Amusement Park, though modest, adds a recreational element, especially for those visiting with children. While the beach is not ideal for swimming due to its rocky terrain and strong currents, it makes up for it with its serene walks, open views, and vibrant ambiance. Watching the waves crash against the stones and feeling the sea breeze was a simple yet fulfilling experience. In the evening, the place becomes even livelier with tourists flocking for the sunset view. Although the skies were cloudy during our visit, the atmosphere itself was enjoyable. Overall, Devka Beach is more about relaxation and soaking in the seaside charm rather than adventure. For those looking to unwind in Daman, it is certainly a spot worth visiting.

Devka Beach – The beautiful beach of Daman, is one of the most popular beaches in Daman, known for its peaceful atmosphere and natural beauty. Situated on the shores of the Arabian Sea, this beach is a great place for tourists, where the cool sea breeze, soft sand and gently falling waves give peace to the mind. The sunset view on this beach is especially amazing in the evening. The colors of the sky and the reflection of the sun falling on the sea surface give a unique feeling. There are many hotels, resorts, and food stalls available around Devka Beach, where you can enjoy local as well as various delicious dishes, parking facilities are good on Beas Road Devka Beach is not only a place for relaxation, but also for spending time with the family, photography, and walking along the beach. Small games and entertainment facilities are also available for children. Many tourists enjoy the views while sitting on the beach and sipping coffee or coconut water. If you visit Daman, definitely include Devka Beach in your travel list.
Mahesh P — Google review
Devka Beach is located in Daman, a coastal town popular for weekend getaways from Gujarat and Maharashtra. I visited it during my short trip with my friends to relax by the sea and explore the local food stalls. If I were to summarise: Devka Beach is good for a relaxed seaside outing, especially around evening, for walks, sunset views. My overall Visit is very beautiful and good.

Me and my family recently visited Daman it's a beautiful place. But I was disappointed when I saw local women's are selling alcohol openly near the beach and even tourist are consuming alcohol openly. It's a tourist place what the government of Gujarat is doing. Please take some action.

Bom Jesus Church

Mentioned on

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

Bom Jesus Church is an absolute must-visit in Daman. This ancient basilica is a stunning example of Portuguese architecture and offers a deeply peaceful and spiritual atmosphere. The complex is very clean and well-kept, making it a pleasant place to walk around and reflect. The entry is free

Historical and architectural Cathedral of Bom Jesus, an artistry engineered by Portuguese. Located inside the Daman Fort gives you a feel of Portugal era. Big entrance with lofty ceilings draws attention of tourists. The best time to visit is during Christmas or between December month which give you a spiritual feeling of that era.

On a rainy Sunday, we visited the Bom Jesus Church in Daman with colleagues, and the experience turned out to be both enriching and memorable. The church is one of the oldest and most iconic structures in Daman, carrying deep historical and heritage value. Built during the Portuguese era, it reflects the grandeur of old-world architecture with its detailed woodwork, ornamental altars, and serene ambiance. Stepping inside instantly transported us back in time, offering a sense of peace and reverence. Outside the church, the environment had its own unique charm. The colorful houses, narrow lanes, and graffiti art walls added a vibrant touch to the heritage setting. The rains made the atmosphere even more picturesque, and the cool breeze was refreshing. Being a Sunday, there was a good crowd of tourists, yet the place retained its calm and spiritual vibe. One of the most enjoyable parts of the visit was tasting Mithi Lassi, being served by a friendly Sardarji just outside the church. For someone belonging to North India, it brought back nostalgic memories of home and added a personal warmth to the trip. The combination of history, culture, and local flavors made the visit special. After exploring the church, we headed towards the nearby Daman Fort, another landmark showcasing the region’s colonial past. The fort’s imposing walls and sea views gave us a deeper appreciation of Daman’s strategic and historical significance. On our way back, the day ended on a refreshing note with a chilled Mint Mojito, much needed after a humid and busy Sunday of sightseeing. The mix of heritage, natural beauty, good weather, and simple joys of food and drink made the entire outing truly memorable.

Bom Jesus Church in Daman offers a picturesque and retro experience as church itself is one of the oldest as well as iconic dates to Portuguese era, very well architected and have a retro look almost on entering you feel like going back in time. And of course don't miss the outside garden, the incredibly colorful houses, lanes, graffiti and the nearby fort make this place worth visiting.

Visited this place with my friends. Daman's Church of Bom Jesus will transport you into a world of lavish grandeur and spiritual magnificence. Marvel at its exquisite Baroque facade adorned with eye-catching carvings, delicate paintings, majestic pillars,  fragrant incense wafting through the air... and as soon as you step inside, you see shimmering gold leaf motifs and striking stained glass windows paying homage to god's splendour. The blesses sacrament is very eye catching....Saturday there n 🙏 prayed. The alter is breathtakingly beautiful with its eyecatching carvings. It was raining so we had to take out our footware before entering. There are no entry tickets. Sufficient parking available

Mirasol Resort, Daman is a very nice place for a family holiday. It's a huge property with rooms, a huge hall and a dining area. It's also a place for a destination wedding. The property also has a swimming pool, lake, train and boating rides, water park and restaurant. The people are friendly (with no artificial smiles). The rooms are adequate with a clean bed. The bathroom and toilet are clean with necessary toiletries. The food was tasty and authentic. There is scope for improving WiFi facilities.

We stayed at Mirasol Resort last weekend, and it was a very bad experience for us. We had booked a stay for 3 days, and every day we faced issues with the room key — sometimes the key wouldn't work, and other times there were problems with the lock. Even after paying ₹8000 per room per night, the hotel charges extra for basic things like an extra glass or ice cubes. The housekeeping service only cleans the room; they don't even replace the dental kits. When we asked for a glass without charge, the staff spoke to us very rudely #mirasol

Wilson Hills is a picturesque hill station located in Gujarat, currently undergoing development by the government.

One of the best hills to visit at this time of the year! The roads challenge both amateur & pro riders equally. The journey is just breathtaking! Luscious greenery all around, cool breeze, if you’re lucky it may rain too. Best time to visit would probably be early morning hill climb & descent as the sun sets. Just a humble request to all, don’t spoil the natural beauty of the place by littering the area. Carry a bag with you in which you can put all the trash & dispose it off once you get down from the hill in a nearby dustbin. Other than that, enjoy the trip & the ride!

The roads leading here could definitely use some improvement, but apart from that, this place is wonderful. You can enjoy stunning sunrise and sunset views from the viewpoint. However, don’t expect too many attractions—there’s mainly a viewpoint and a small dome-shaped structure that’s perfect for photos. The drive to this spot is quite scenic and enjoyable, making the journey itself worth it.

Gira Waterfalls

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

I visited Gira Dhodh Waterfall again in 2025 on a weekend with my family. The place is always beautiful, but this time the water flow was less compared to my visit in 2024, when it was truly majestic and full of force. Since I went on a weekend, the crowd was quite heavy, which is common at such popular spots. The overall experience was still enjoyable. Around the waterfall area, there are many small stalls and shops selling souvenirs, handicrafts, and local gift items, which add to the charm of the visit. There is also a restaurant and stay facility nearby. The food was fine, but the rooms were not very impressive – okay for a short stay but not something to expect high comfort from. In short, Gira Dhodh is a nice place for a family outing or nature trip, especially during monsoon when the waterfall is at its best. If you want to enjoy it with fewer crowds, visiting on a weekday would be a better choice.

Giradodh Waterfall is a wonderful place to visit, especially during the monsoon season when nature is at its best 🌧️. The experience begins right from the parking area — you have to leave your vehicle outside and walk inside to reach the waterfall. This short walk through the greenery feels peaceful and refreshing, with the sound of birds and flowing water growing louder as you approach 🌿. It’s a simple yet beautiful experience that lets you disconnect from the usual noise of city life and step into pure calmness surrounded by lush forest and fresh air. When you finally reach the waterfall, the view is breathtaking 💦. The water gushes down powerfully, creating a cool mist all around, and the whole area looks alive with greenery and natural beauty 🌈. The atmosphere is quiet and soothing, perfect for nature lovers, photographers, or anyone looking for a peaceful escape. Parking outside and walking in actually makes the place cleaner and more preserved, which is a really good idea. Giradodh Waterfall is truly worth visiting — a hidden gem that feels magical in the monsoon and leaves you refreshed every time.

Beautiful Waterfall specially During Monsoon. You need to walk for 3 to 5 minutes from parking place to see this. Looks sunning from a distance and panoramic view is awesome. Approach road is narrow and Parking is a issue on crowded day. So take care of these situations during monsoon weekends.
