In focus under this story is the Sunrise Point at Saputara. (Gujarat, India)

Photo captured by the author

Saputara is a small (and the only) hill station in the state of Gujarat in India. The ideal time to visit this quaint hill station is during the monsoons when the lake is filled with water, there’s greenery all around, the climate is foggy and the nearby Gira falls are a sight to behold.

However, this time we chose to visit it during winters and though it was comparatively dry, the climate was pleasant. In my growing up years, Saputara was a fixed destination during all our family trips, especially during monsoon. So we’ve been here ample times and know all the places worth visiting on the back of our hands.

The point has recently been (re)developed, with different viewing points, a small garden, a public toilet, ample parking space and a handful food stalls. Because it seemed to have been recently opened to public, the number of tourists too were just a few and we got to enjoy the view and the climate peacefully.

Pro-top: The way uphill is a little tricky and scary, so we recommend an experienced person to drive the car. Also, there’s a small Ganesha temple at the bottom of the hill which is worthy of a visit too.

I last visited this place in December 2019. This story was originally published on my blog.
