    Unknown to the public and very well hidden without any sign boards. Another superbly constructed archaeological find. Serene and quiet place to visit. P. S. It is not allowed to go at the bottom of the stepwell (vaav)

    An amazing piece of architectural marvel at the hill of pavagadh. Completely made out of bricks, this structure is an important heritage site of India. A great find by the archaeological department. It is maintained and kept well. Although you can directly spot it from the main road. You need to enter the google location and drive slowly when you are closer to the location to locate the place. A must visit for architects and architecture lovers.

  • 5/5 Ashwin G. 8 months ago on Google
    World heritage site. Located at the outskirts of Champaner district of Gujarat, the Helical Step Well was constructed in the 16th century. It would have provided water to the locals and to casual travellers who crossed the area. The step well does not serve water any more as the ground water levels have gone down considerably below the water table. The step well is undergoing redevelopment to help maintain its credibility as a world heritage site. The maintenance and development of the area is under the Gujarat government, in association with the local municipality. A plan has been put in place by the government to ensure that this place is revived as it was in the ancient times. The helical step well provided water and the place had a bunch of shady trees lined around the well encircling the step till the wide area of the long entrance on both sides. The well is in close vicinity of the Ek Minar Mosque and people visiting the mosque came here to quench their thirst. The Champaner Fort also gives a nice top view

    It's just a well with very less water (I visited it in summer). Nothing much to explore there

  • 4/5 Anujit P. 4 years ago on Google
    Historical landmark of the Champaner Pavagadh torust circuit. Just beside the main road, unfortunately no display board is there. As a result maximum visitors can't enjoy the place. There is no ticket counter and people can visit this place without entry fee.

  • 5/5 Crazy T. 1 year ago on Google
    This vav is also also part of Champaner Paavagarh Architeological Site. It's architecture is different from rest of vav. No entery ticket for vav, campus is maintained and beautiful.
