Its at the foothill og the Girinar mountains. If you are walking towards it on foot chances are someone will ask you if you wish to be dropped there unlike anywhere else that I have seen..thats the Gujrati culture of helping ...The place pretty scenic but I would recommend if the local administration can plan for boating to make it more lively.Also being closer to the Girinar mountains.. trekking routes can be initiated to let tourists get a feel of walking in the forest and climbing the adjacent peaks.

Nicest place away from noisy city life and in the center of greenery. Best place for photography. It is the center of attraction for prewedding photoshoots. People come for photoshoots throughout the state. Best time to visit this place is Monsoon. Couple of hours can be well spent at this place.
