Hotel Vaity coordinates a ropeway at Sunset Point. For those who haven’t had the opportunity to be on one, it is a stimulating experience.

Although there are more than 300 villages in the Dang district, the population of most of these is less than 100. The majority of these are tribal. The museum here is dedicated to initiate tourists to the traditions and conservationism of the district. It is a platform for exhibiting the apparel and lifestyle of the various communities such as the Kunbir, Warlis, Gamits and Bhils. Then there is information on Kothewali potters too. These display the customs of the neighboring communities and the utensils and weapons. There is one more museum here besides the tribal museum, called Winchester Museum. It has been named after the Assistant Collector of the area.

Located in the heart of Saputara, the lush landscape surrounding Saputara Lake is truly lovely. A person can be one with nature in this atmosphere. The aura here sets the rhythm to come together with nature. You will find several varieties of Hibiscus flowers beckoning the tourists. Row boats and paddle boats are available on rent. There is a garden here on the lake. You will find a growth of uncommon trees here. For those who would like to take home some of these plants, they could be purchased at the Nursery at reasonable prices.

Named after Gopi, the patron saint of Surat is Gopipura. Here one can set eyes on sculpture at its best at the immense mansions. Some of the finest woodwork has been done to adorn the mansions. The Agama temple and other Jain temples and monasteries are the focal points at Gopipura.

For the religious minded people, the Nageshwar Mahadev temple, which is not too far from here, is a must see. It is an archaic temple on the coast of Saurashtra. Here Lord Shiva can be found in an underground sanctorum. This is in the area between Bet Dwarka and Dwarka. It is one of the twelve Jyotirlings of Lord Shiva. The best time to visit is on Shivratri when it is visited by innumerable people. The area surrounding it is as perfect as a picture.
