Located 47 kilometres away from Baroda, this UNESCO World Heritage Site consists of the historical cities of Champaner and Pavagadh. The site’s star attractions are its beautiful mosques of which unquestionably the most striking is the massive Jama Masjid. Also strewn about are remnants of several palaces, fortifications, gateways, cemeteries, step wells and water tanks, all built between the 8th and 14th centuries. Nearby, the Pavagadh hill has an ancient fort, the medieval Hindu Lakulisha temple, the tiny but popular Kali Mata temple and a few Jain shrines. Make sure you take the cable car to the top for views and thrills.
