Rajpara Family Getaway – Travel Destinations in West India

Rajpara, a countryside area around Gujarat – Rajasthan border area sits at about 250 kms from Ahmedabad and is a popular group getaway option for activity and experiential travel when you’re in India and eager to explore offbeat travel destinations in West India. Discover hidden gems of travel destinations in West India! Rajpara, with Sundha Mata Temple & Panseri Sand Dunes are brilliant for experiential travel.

We arrived for a family getaway and enjoyed some campfire.

Never knew nearby Sundha Mata Temple is a major pilgrimage. A 900+ year-old temple,  situated on a hilltop near Rajpara in Rajasthan, it is a major regional pilgrimage, accessible by a cable car ride or by climbing 500 steps. Another famous temple around Sundha Mata Conservation Reserve is the Khodeshwar Mahadev Temple, a 1000 year old temple. The temple offers quiet solitude around superb Aravali backdrop and reserve forest areas (renowned for its Sloth Bears).

Panseri is a small village about 6 kms from Rajpara. We enjoyed Camel ride, ATV Ride and Jeep rides in the sand dunes of the desert. Of all the above travel destinations in West India, Panseri Sand Dunes was perhaps the most fun with the rides, views and sunset.

However, the ultimate experience was the night tractor safari followed by a walk in the forest looking for Sloth Bears.

Western India is much more than simply Mumbai, Goa or Madhya Pradesh (almost half of the state lies in the west)! Other travel destinations in West India include the beautiful state of Gujarat with its rich heritage, coasts, culture, and cuisine- a must visit in any Discover India itinerary.
