Padam Dungari Eco Campsite

by Komal Rangoonwala · December 17, 2018

December 17, 2018

Gujarat tourism has changed a lot over the years. Various strategies have been implemented in order to promote popular as well as remote areas in Gujarat. We have lots of naturally beautiful places in Gujarat, which have been upgraded with basic facilities so that tourists can enjoy it to the fullest. Gujarat tourism and forest department have been promoting eco campsites for a long time. Eco campsites are, as the name suggests, camping sites giving you an experience of living in nature’s laps. They usually have facilities such as tents so that you can stay overnight or a day or two. Today we’ll talk about Padam Dungari, located in Vyara, district Navsari.

How to reach Padam Dungari?

Padam Dungari is around 23 km from Vansda, hence close to Vansda National Park. You can find a bus to the village and a railway station that is around 10+ km from the village. However, the road route would be the best choice.

• Bardoli – Padam Dungari: around 56 km
• Navsari – Padam Dungari: around 68 km
• Surat – Padam Dungari: around 89 km
• Valsad – Padam Dungari: around 78 km

• Cafeteria / Restaurant

• Orientation center – it gives you an overall summary of what the site is about and what you will experience throughout your stay
• Rescue center – for injured wildlife animals and birds
• Amphitheatre

How to book your stay at Padam Dungari?

Places to visit near Padam Dungari

The distance of places mentioned is in terms of their distance from Padam Dungari.

• Unai mata temple (10.2 km) – It is one of the most famous hot water springs temples in Gujarat. People usually go to this temple to perform traditional holy ceremonies and rituals. Moreover, it is believed that lots of illness can be cured by bathing in this hot water. However, one should take appropriate measures and precautions before going in.
• Chand Surya temple (4.4 km) – Situated near the banks of river Ambika, Chand Surya temple is located in Bartad, Gujarat. It is not really huge but the atmosphere is tranquil. And the temple has remarkable historic importance.
• Ghusmai mata temple (3.4 km) – The temple is next to a mountain and located in the forest area. The mountainous area gets all hints of greens during the rains.
• Waghai botanical garden (27.2 km) – This garden conserves a huge range of local and exotic plants. You may not find a human guide to usher you throughout the garden because there is plenty of written information everywhere and hence, it is self-explanatory. Moreover, the garden is open from 8 am – 6 pm and entry is free.
• Gira Falls, Waghai (30 km) – One of the most famous and beautiful waterfalls in Gujarat is Gira Falls or Gira Dhodh. It is absolutely beautiful and lavish during monsoon and mostly inactive during other seasons. It is perfect for photography lovers, but utter care must be taken by all before going near it.
• Vansda national park (35.4 km) – You can find ample flora and fauna of various species. There are also various reptiles like python, cobra, kraits (highly venomous Asian snake of cobra family) and more.

Most of the information about the facilities have been taken from the Gujarat Tourism website. They have stressed a lot on maintaining the dignity of the environment and respecting the space and silence the wildlife needs. There are a few points that I think we must all follow while exploring Padam Dungari or any wildlife sanctuary.

• Talk softly and keep your smartphones silent so that you don’t scare off the wild birds and animals
• Do not use flash while taking photos and do not disturb the wildlife just so you can capture the best shot
• Discard the trash in the bins
• Do not spit on the ground or on walls
• Follow the instructions on the signs you see on the site
• Do not smoke as cigarettes stubs can cause forest fires

My own experience

I’ve been to Padam Dungari twice now and I must say its a very peaceful place. You will feel really connected to nature as you are surrounded by its wonderful creations. I personally don’t think you need to stay overnight here, but if you want to explore it early morning or see how it feels at night, then you may. I don’t know if you are allowed to go out and about at night during your stay, but I don’t recommend. If you look closely and pay attention you may find various species of birds which cannot be seen in cities.

Humans have been messing with nature to suit their needs ever since the evolution. We are trying so hard to change everything in nature when everything we need has already been created in nature, by nature. Its only good for the breathing kind if we understand this soon enough. So let’s enjoy the nature in its true form, in the way it has been created for us.

Enjoying a getaway requires nothing but your mental presence. Physical presence is not enough. Just keep your phones, laptops, and everything aside for a while and you’ll see how wonderful nature is. It will teach you a lot of things only if you keep yourself open to it.

On a final note, I’d like to thank Darpan Dodiya for letting me use photos captured by him! 🙂

You must have heard this before but it cannot be emphasized enough, so I’ll say it again :

“Sometimes you need to disconnect to stay connected”

With that said, we are aiming to cover a series of articles about other such eco campsites in Gujarat. So I hope you visit them and stay connected to nature!

Happy camping! 🙂

Make sure to visit the orientation centre first before you start exploring the campsite as that would give a good picture of what you are about to experience during your stay.

Most of these Eco Campsites use electricity which is generated by using solar energy, hence please use it responsibly.

No smoking whatsoever (cigarette butts cause many forest fires.)

No flash or intrusive photography (for example, don’t pluck leaves to clear a better view; reposition the camera instead.)

Do not carry any music system or sound making device along with you and remember to keep them switched off if you are driving around.

Picking plants or insects is prohibited in any area; do not remove anything from the parks or sanctuaries.

Do Not indulge in any quick or sudden movements to scare off wildlife.

Do not try going too close to the animals.

It is 28 km from Ahwa, 40 km from Billimora, and 60 km from Saputara. The area is easiest explored with a private vehicle, but public transport is available, though less convenient.

The List of Eco Tourism Campsites in Gujarat

A comprehensive list of all eco tourism campsites of Gujarat. Previously in this series, I’ve prepared list of

• List of Hill Stations in Gujarat

• List of Ropeways in Gujarat

Continuing the series, I will list all eco campsites of Gujarat in this article, with photos and adequate information.

Padamdungari Campsite //Campsite near the Dangs

Note: I’ve not been to all the campsites personally. I tried best to gather and provide details as accurately as possible. If you find something wrong here, contact me or drop a comment down.

Update (23-02-2016):  Yesterday, I received an email from Deepak I Mehta, Vadodara. Mr. Mehta has visited most of the campsites listed down. He has provided missing details of many campsites. Updating this article to add them. A huge thank you:)

What Is Eco Tourism & Campsites

Eco tourism is defined as: “Responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people.”

Most of the campsites have some common characteristics:

• They are far from concrete jungles. In fact, most of them are located deep inside actual jungles. 🙂
• River nearby
• Basic Accommodation – Tent and Dormitory
• Less crowded
• Peaceful atmosphere. Relaxed ambience. Noise free life.

The eco campsites and nature education sites in Gujarat are generally maintained by EDC – Eco-tourism Development Committee.

Ambapani eco tourism campsite contact no. I want to visit and want to book

Hey Darpan, I read your post, this has been of great help to plan a weekend getaway with family and friends. Thanks for this.

I also have one question though. All the stay places mentioned here are either run by the government or are held by some private sector. Can you suggest some places where we can camp(Like set up tents, cook, and camp-fire) by ourselves? This will be of great help, thanks in advance.

I have moved to USA a few years back and been out of touch with South Gujarat area.

I’m afraid I don’t have any suggestions for you.

Maybe you can try reaching out to Maa Shabari Resort in Subir.

There’s another resort on the border of Gujarat and Maharashtra, they might allow you to setup something too. I can’t quite recollect its name.

pl tell me detail contact of eco tourism site for stay and price

Any contact information about ambapani?

No I don’t.

Hello darpan, this is really helpful But i wanted to know that are there no ecotourism campsites in saurastra and kutch Thanks

Unfortunately, I am not well versed with the Saurastra and Kutch area. I am unable to offer any specific suggestions.

If anybody can give information/review of Kevdi eco campsite, Chhotaudaipur pls……..Pls share pics also if anyone has gone there recently…. Thanks.

Dear Mr Darpan. How to upload eco camp site pics here if we want to upload???

Hello Mr Patel,

Thanks a lot for showing interest to share your photos.

Right now, there’s no direct way to upload photos here. I will implement that feature.

Generally, when I post photos here, I optimize them by resizing and compressing to give best user experience.

The simplest way is to send photos to me via email or WhatsApp. I will upload them here with full credits to you.

Forgot to add, contact details can be found: here

Great. Thanks Darpan!

Happy to help 🙂

We visited Vishal khadi eco camp site on 22-23 July 2017. Very nice place…. but few things to be note down for visitors who are interested in night stay… (1) No GEB electricity there…only solar operated small fan and light in the room.. (2) No mobile networks.. (3) Rooms are comparatively nice/ok…. (4) Lots of insects, creatures may come to your room…..huh…. (5) Atmosphere at night is horrible… so always go in group families not single family… But overall experience was good….

Thanks a ton for sharing your experience. It will help a lot. 🙂
