Girnar Temples

Reviewed By Rajiv629

There are several temples on the mountains of Girnar (climb starts from Junagadh) We were there a day after Shivaratri so were fortunate to escape the crowd of a million people which had gathered at the base of the mountain for the festival. We started the climb of 9999 steps leading to the Datta temple atop the mountain at around 3 pm. There is also the Ambaji temple which is at approx 8000 steps.One must remember to pick a walking stick (usually of bamboo) available at shops at the base on rent. The climb is stiff but there are shops on the way which sell water and lemon juice and a few snacks for those who get exhausted. We carried Electrol packets with us which we had intermittently to get our energy back. We also carried some chocolates and energy bars; can't eat too much as it makes the climb difficult. Devotees climb and descend the mountain almost 24 ×7 ,and there is nothing to fear. Of course carry a small tor torch during night time as it is necessary both for ascent and discent. The climb is tough but we came across men and women in their 70s also completing the journey safely. A reasonably comfortable speed would complete the darshan and back to base in 8 to 10 hours.

Rani Ki vav

Rani Ki Vav is the oldest and the grandest stepwell in the state of Gujarat. It is situated at Patan and is believed to have been built during 1022 to 1063 AD. The construction was completed by the widowed queen Udayamati. She was the wife of King Bhimdev I, son of Mularaja, the founder of the Solanki dynasty of Anahilwada Pattan. It is a richly sculptured monument and a major tourist spot in Patan. The size of the Rani Ki Vav is so huge that the tourists appear to be ants climbing an anthill.

Reviewed By jayaraman2016 - New Delhi, India

We visited this magnificent step well, which is more than 100km from Ahmedabad. The multi-storeyed structure dating back around 11th century requires climbing down through steps from ground level to go around each storey supported by stone pillars. We could go only two levels as it was difficult. It is not advisable for those having knee/ back problems to go down. Those who can climb down will get a marvelous sight of sculptures. However, we went around the boundary along the ground to reach the opposite side where we could get a view of the bottom of the well having water. Rani ki vav is too big when compared to adalaj step well we saw near Ahmedabad. This awe inspiring step well has found a place in one of the recent Indian currency note

Reviewed By SBahl - New Delhi, India

Lukshmi Vilas Palace, the largest private residence in India, is grand, awe-inspiring, and beautiful. The architecture is a fantastic exposition of Indo-Saracenic architecture; the grounds and carved-out sections like the golf course immaculate; and the collection of art and artefacts exquisite, even by royal standards. A special call out to the collection of Raja Ravi Varma's works, which is the largest at any single place. And another one to the armoury, which has a the best collection of swords I have seen. The museum has audio guides, which makes the experience of visiting the palace much richer. Essential visit while in Baroda. Keep 2-3 hours aside for it.
