The entire archeological park is filled with some grand and some small but beautiful structures. Most of them are ruins of masjids but they have been maintained quite well. Jami and Shehar Masjid are the highlights as they are closest to the town and also the grandest. The other points of interest are Kevada, Nagina and Kamani Masjids and Badatalav. It takes 2-3 hours to do all of them because they are spread across 4-5 kilometers. Try to visit in the morning or late evening to avoid the heat and the crowd. All the sites are located at the foothills of Pavagadh temples and hence roads can get extremely crowded with devotees on certain days.

Nice monuments with wall murals and carvings The place is not that congested hence comparatively lesser tourists here but a worthy place to see Esp. The jami masjid, 7 kamaan

The Champaner Archaeological Park is one of the world's heritage sites in Gujarat. The site offers ruins of various beautifully carved mosques which reflect Indo-Islamic architecture. There are several small and big mosques like Badi Masjid, Choti masjid, Jama Masjid, Kewada Masjid, Nagina Masjid and the Fort area etc. The sad part is that almost all the sites are very badly maintained or not at all maintained. The roads to reach the sites are really in bad condition, at some sites your vehicle is not accessible and one has to walk to reach the site. The connectivity to Champaner from the big cities is very poor and there are no direct trains to reach here. The ideal option is to travel to and from Vadodara. Very few stays are available here, I mean very few. The structures and architecture are the things to be appreciated but at the same time government should take some precautionary actions to save these structures.

The fort is quite good! You can visit this after darshan from Pavagad. Here you can spend lot of time watching forts and masjid can click some pictures. Here there is an entry ticket which you have to buy to watch all these forts which costs around 50/- per person at time I’ve gone. Now maybe the price might get varied. But it is worth to watch. Time just flies away to complete the day!Have fun!☺️

City of architects, champaner,in Gujarat aproved by archeological survey of India. Every person should have to visit historical place near vadodara as well as ahmedabad.

Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is located in Panchmahal district in Gujarat, India. It is located around the historical city of Champaner. The heritage site is studded with forts with bastions starting from the hills of Pavagadh, and extending into the city of Champaner. The park's landscape includes archaeological, historic and living cultural heritage monuments such as chalcolithic sites, a hill fortress of an early Hindu capital, and remains of the 16th-century capital of the state of Gujarat. There are palaces, entrance gates and arches, mosques, tombs and temples, residential complexes, agricultural structures and water installations such as stepwells and tanks, dating from the eighth to the 14th centuries. The transition between Hindu and Muslim culture and architecture in the late 15th to early 16th century is documented in the park, particularly the early Islamic and pre-Mughal city that has remained without any change. It was inscribed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 2004

Nice and best place to visit in all season. Religious place of goddess mahakali. It is very good place to go with children and family. I must suggest to must go once in your life.Less Crowded place but Calm, peaceful, historical and beautiful stone carvings structures... Must visit place. Good for photography. Some placed hard to explore easily. Hidden gem of India

A very good place for weekends if you’re live near the Champaner or Baroda

For Historical monuments lover's it would be a nice place. Truly says only two buildings in ancient mughal city are easy to visit because of both on road side. But badly three's are back side in forest type confined area only for two wheeler riders. Especially back three monuments are not family type places.

It was nice visit,but due to Covid19 I was unable to visit Pavagadh temple. But roam that area

Gem of a place! Small UNESCO protected site but the architecture will blow you away. It's a mix of traditional Indian style mixed with Islamic size. A photographer's delight

UNESCO world heritage place champaner is gem for one who are archeology and history enthusiasts. It is around 2hr from vadodara.Bus route is comfortable and feasible.Bus drops you at pavagadh bus stop. The entry to fort of champaner is just opp bus stop.Various masjids are spread across champaner,there architecture will astonish you with story of evolvement in different era and dynasty. Travelling within from one masjid to other can be little tiering if you are dependent on public transport or autos. You can also visit virasat van ,kabutarakhana with serene view of lake. If you wish to visit pavagadh godess temple you should reach early in morning as climbing and coming down can take around 5 hours.

Higher ticket price for foreigners, but still worth a visit to this UNESCO Heritage Site. Beautiful mixture of Indian architecture style with Islamic culture. Road to Pavagadh is closed during weekend for private cars. Only government buses are allowed.

Great historical place.. you'll definitely like the ruins ,the temple ,the road..great place for photo shoot although it's little dirty..but overall great place for friends tour

UNESCO approved world heritage archeological site, 50 kms from Baroda worth visiting. Magnificent structure with perfect symmetry of pillars. An excellent work without using cement, entire structure erected with lock-in mechanism. Well maintained. Good greenery around the structure.

3 star because its not maintained as expected. Old historical archaeological monuments , beautiful structures, carvings, visually appealing. The properties are there since ages.

This place was full of experiences. First of all, people know this place as Pavagarh Kaali maata Mandir. There are 3 different sites- 2 masjids and 1 temple. Mashids are easilybaccessible by cab and cost just 40 bucks to enter for Indians. The mandir is another story. If you are in a small car, you must take the shared jeep going up and down. It's cheap but crowded. You can definitely hire a jeep by yourself. We paid 500 bucks for a jeep. Then you take the cable car(what they say as ropeway) up and down the landing spot. And then, finally, about 10-15 minute sof walk, about 250 steps up, and then a beautiful temple. It stands out on a clear blue sky and mild breeze. Was an ecstatic view, completely worth the effort. If you are religious, l, that's a cherry on the top as you get to do Darshan. Oh, and I forgot, there are langoors / monkeys almost everywhere. Be careful with your stuff and shades and everything.

lack of systematic maintenance

A lot of history just left to disintegrate. There is no guide and no proper information on how to visit the site . There is dirt, cow dung and cows everywhere- overall a frustrating experience. UNESCO should stop funding this neglect.

Nice and good place. Religious place of goddess mahakali. It is very good place to go with children and family. The temple is very good and quite visitors place. You have to climb 3000 steps to have a pretty view of goddess mahakali. Those who can't climb the mountain from stairs are availed with rope way to have a scene of temple without climbing the mountain by your own legs. The morning and evening view of temple from down to the mountain is quite pretty. I must suggest to must go once in your life.

There are many great places in champaner for having the photoshoot! Advisory place for couples for pre-wedding photoshoot and others who travel with the hobby of capturing their well pics🌟

Less Crowded place but Calm, peaceful, historical and beautiful stone carvings structures... Must visit place. Good for photography. Some placed hard to explore easily.

In covid time you may need to purchase tickets online for the tour also preferred tickets booking for your current location as internet is not good over their. Apart from the information the place looks like peaceful place as you can enjoyed quality and quit time with your family and loved ones. They also have parking facilities inside the place. Also near to preferable for one day tour which also have good nearby places to explore.

It's very beautiful place to roam and to know past history of Gujarat. There are several memorials to see and enjoy like Kevada masjid, Jami masjid, Nagina masjid, stopped well etc. Pavgadh temple of Mahakali Maa is located at the top of hill. Scenarios of monsoon season is pretty to savour of nature.

The best place of goddes and divin...the weather and atmospher makes you feel that you are actually in heaven. when you finally reached at the temple after climbing the 2000+step then your all stress and your all tensions got vaporate and you can laine in peace and divin's goodness and I am still waiting for completions of work which currently operated to renovet the temple gujrat tourisum doing there best👍 ...jay mataji🙏🏻jay maa kali🙏🏻

How history could be seen is through the ancient architecture standing tall gleaming through the past the golden period that had elapsed... So is the champaner mosque here alomwith the bhadra gate the incrinate designs are beautiful and the whole village from the time past is being settled inside the fort as remenents are found all around.. The place have the unique mata mandir one of the shaktipeeth at hilltop with various other places to watch and walk around

Champaner is World Heritage site. Not sure if it's preserved except couple of Masjids.

It's a wonderful place to visit. The ancient sandstone monuments and the Mughal era architecture are a must visit. It's such a marvel that it has been labelled as a UNESCO Heritage Site.

An excellent place to visit. The stone carvings, design and details are just superb. Artwork at its best. The architecture of this place is admirable. Any history or art enthusiastic person will simply fall in love with this place.

Beautiful and massive Jama-Mosque! Do visit the place if you are visiting Pavagadh, just 200 meter from Pavagadh busstand.

This is the place where you can find peace. It's 35 Rs ticket has worth. You can enjoy here with your friends and family. It has a large garden in frontyard. Old building covered in world heritage. Approximately 60-70 kms from Vadodara. You can spend here 3-4 hours and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Parking can be a big headache apart from poor direction marking for all the mosque.

Best architecture. Beautiful mosque.

It's an awesome place..!! Maa Mahakali Goodness is blessed.

If someone visiting Pavagarh don't forget to visit this UNESCO heritage site. Less people and beautiful monuments.

It is a very beautiful archaeological site. People who love visiting such sites and have interest in historical architecture - this is a nice to visit place for you.

Superb monuments, amazing architecture, easy to reach. One must visit these more than half a century old monuments.
