Best Places to Visit in Panch Mahals – UNESCO Sites, Temples & Nature Escapes

1.Navlakha Kothar

West of the tallest peak of Pavagadh Mountain, at the spacious Navlakhi Valley in Mouliatuk, stands Navlakha Kothar. The building reflects both the grandeur of the Mughal style and the history of the area.

Class and Rich History

The Navlakha Kothar looks like a T and has seven chambers, all reduced under large, tall domes. The distinctive style and layout demonstrate the craftsmen’s skill during the Mughal era. Situated on the border of the Navlakhi Valley, the hotel overlooks the beautiful natural views.

Several historians agree that for many centuries, the Navlakha Kothar functioned as a place where people stored food and provisions for use during difficult times. Because of its location and construction, important supplies were stored and protected.

2. Saat Kamaan

Hidden between the Atak Door and the Boodhiya Gates in the mountains, there is an interesting old monument called Saat Kamaan. Many stories of secrets, strategies and celebrations can be found in this impressive stone building.

The Saat Kamaan is notable for having seven tall arches formed under a big, tent-like structure. Using finer, nicely carved stones in its construction adds beauty and makes this structure dominant in guarding the mountain fortress.

Many believe that the rulers of the fort would meet in the secret chambers to privately make decisions. Aside from being important politically, the royal family was thought to have hosted parties and enjoyed entertainment under the Seven Arches.

3.Pavagadh Temple

Legend has it that on top of the highest peak of Pavagadh Mountain, in Halol Taluka of Panchmahal district, stands the Pavagadh Temple, a sacred Peetha often visited by pilgrims. Because of the lovely mix between religion and nature, the spiritual sanctuary is a destination everyone should see.

This land is home to Maa Mahakali.

The temple is built as a shrine to Jagatajanani Maa Kalika, who is the Hindu form of Shakti. Those who follow the goddess see her as being particularly strong in this place, granting blessings to everyone who seeks her generosity. A lot of people visit each year to have a darshan of Maa Mahakali, as it is believed to give happiness and strength.

The Way of Faith and Nature

Strolling towards the temple is a spiritual experience and it offers wonderful views of both the countryside and nearby mountains. Because of Pavagadh Mountain’s natural beauty, the place feels sacred, encouraging people to think, say prayers and enjoy nature and divine experiences.
