route from Baroda to Halol and then right turn to Pavaghad- the highway is world class with Hotels / motels on the sides.
Smooth ride, clear sky, rich green canopy on the sides
One can climb by stairs and also by rope car, remains of a tomb

the way back... ofcourse to return once again, as it was memorable and enchanting.
on 7th October 2007, ie on the lazy Sunday Morning, we decided to visit Pavaghat- a hill spot located around 50 kms away from Baroda. The hill is famous for Temple of Maha Kali and has facility of Cable Cart to reach the top. The surrounding place is called Champaner: It seems it is a "World Heritage" site and contains remains of Fort and Mosque built by Mohammed Begda in 11th Century. Due to copious monsoon rains this year, we could see rich green and clear water in the ponds and lakes.
Thanks to My friend chandru, who have penchant for images, shades, and lights snaps with Nikon and captured the finer moments of our memorable trip.

Dear Gana
Very nice pictures with comments. Really we enjoyed that trip.
Hi Raju,
Really a treat to the eye! The pictures were captured brilliantly! The commentary is equally good and gave a feeling of viewing National Geographic channel. Cheers!
