By far the most amazing temple complex I have seen, next only to the one in Siem Reap in Cambodia. I stayed at sumeru hotel in Palitana for a night. And had to leave early morning at 6 AM to go to the top. There are 3750 steps to climb up and numerous temples enroute. I took a Doli , paying Rs.3000/ for a four member carriage up. I took this for two reasons- to negotiate steep climbing (I am 65 years old with bad knees) and to provie them their first income during COVID times. It took two and half hour to go up as I did a lot of climbing and waling on my own also with a stick, to provide the bearers some relief. The 800 odd temples, 16000 statues atop the hill and some 36000 statues strewn across the hillside( I of course couldnt see all) are out of the world. I went on the roof top and got the full overview of all the temples and got some amazing shots too. should not miss if travelling to Gujarat, India.

A very large park with kuccha trail for jogging, walking, children-playing and picnic. One can spot many birds, blue-bull, peacocks in the park. There are few small gardens and parks to exercise, meditate and play. A beautiful lake makes the park more attractive and houses many Indian and migratory birds,

We travelled from Ghogha to Dahej in the Ro-Ro ferry with our car two weeks back. Many years back we had experience of taking a car on ferry. It was in Goa, when the Mandovi bridge had come crashing. But the process of taking the vehicle on board and worse still reversing it with a loud thud on a rickety platform had left bad memories. So we were quite apprehensive. But this ferry is an extremely smooth operation for car owners - as good as it can get! 1)Online booking preferable. Looks like the traffic is increasing - we counted around 90 cars, 6 trucks and one tractor-trailer. Plus some two-wheelers. 2)One has to reach around an hour before the departure time. The whole process of loading 90 cars took around half an hour. Perhaps less. The deboarding was even faster. 3)The ramps are very well laid out and it is like driving on a normal road. There are clearly laid out parking bays on board and each vehicle is secured at the parking spot. 4)After parking the car, one can climb up to the passenger cabin(s) at the next level. The whole place is clean with comfortable seats, washrooms and cafeteria. The food was reasonably priced and good quality. 5)Several SAFETY measures on board and the vessel is well equipped in this respect. 6)It was sad that despite food available at reasonable price, several groups sat on the deck outside and enjoyed a community feast with their own food brought from outside; making the place dirty. This is shameful. 7)Contrary to earlier reviews, it took us nearly two hours to reach. I think the load is increasing with more vehicles, so it takes longer. 8) The vessel started right on the dot. We paid INR 1000 for the car and INR 600 for the two of us. Considering the price of fuel in India and considering the to and fro travel to the ferry terminals at both ends, I do not think it saves money. But certainly saves time and driver fatigue. And a novel experience with fun! If one is travelling from Bhavanagar to Bharuch/Surat in a car, a must do experience!! Definitely something to be proud of for Indians. I believe IndigoSeaWays is starting bus service for transportation up to the terminals. That would be extremely nice for travellers without a car.
