SAPUTARA TOWN

Long walks along the beautiful lake are some of the treats of this uncluttered and simple hill station. The more adventurous can trek down to nearby villages, the Hatgadh fort  or the legendary Pandava caves.

The hill station does not require any local transport and is best covered on foot. Some of its highlights are:

THE ROPEWAY:

A ten minute ride straddles the valley to the sunset point. The comfortable coupe is safe and ideal for a family. The view from the halt midway is breathtaking. Unforgettable  on a moonlit night. Refreshments available at sunset point and at the vaity restaurant.

Right in the heart of the valley is the extremely calm Saputara lake. Row and paddle  boats  are  available for hire.
