Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park

Reviewed By Bonvoyage1974 - Mumbai, India

The historical sights within the Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park are scattered around over a large area. Private transportation is must to move around and see all the sites. A good amount of time is required to see all the sites. We reached around 2PM and could see only some of the sites which are located near the base of the Pavagad Hill, as the closing time is 5PM. Some sites are manned by Archaeological Survey of India guards and need an entrance ticket. One ticket gets you entry to all the sites. Some sites are situated on the way to the Kalikamata Temple situated on top of the Pavagad Hill. If you plan to see both the temple & the ruins, full day is easily required. The main site of Saher ki Masjid is situated opposite the Pavagad bus stand, here the guard was very helpful and he patiently explained about all the scattered sites with an informative & illustrated book published by the Archaeological Survey of India which is also available for sale at the ticket counter for Rs100. It is a good idea to buy this book as it helps to plan all the sights that one wants to see. We later saw Jami Masjid, Kevda Masjid & Cenotaph, Nagina Masjid & Cenotaph, Iteri Masjid, Ek Minar Ki Masjid Some of the sites are well preserved and are a sight to behold with well maintained gardens. If you are in Baroda make it a point to visit this place.

Reviewed By 936AtulS - Ahmedabad District, India

great place to visit and very popular, with hindu's only temple in India where they do not accept donations! Temple very small and despite crowds ( busiest on Thursday) , did not have to queue up for long for darshans. On less busy days , free Kichadi and Kadi served in temple on busy days they have prasad hall next to railway station. Car park quite a distance from temple which has many nick nack stalls on the way but bargain hard - most only accept cash only.
