Hello all,

I have recently shifted to Vadodara and am looking for adventure sport activities/ club around Vadodara. Any help/ info will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

Near Vadodara towards Halol - Kalol there is a hill called 'Pavagadh'.

There is a temple on top and cable car to the top.

However a trek from the bottom to the top is a easy 3 hr affair. I remember people going there for trekking, rappeling and rock climbing.

I got this information from another thread.

These are places near Pavagadh...

http://gujenvfor.gswan.gov.in/

both are protected forests. both are situated near pavagadh hills. Jambughoda palace is one good place to stay there. jambughoda sanctuary has two lakes. forest resthouse and palace are situated just beside the lakes.

ratan mahal sanctuary is quite small one and so i guess it will not be fun to visit it this time of year. i advice to go there in monsoon. and also ratan mahal got very good waterfalls. so monsoon will be best for waterfalls too. you can stay at forest resthouse in ratan mahal. there are some designated camping ares too.
