Gujarat's Only Hill Station

Discover Saputara

Nestled in the Sahyadri range, Saputara literally translates to 'Abode of Serpents'. This picturesque hill station in the Dang district of Gujarat offers a refreshing escape from the state's typical arid landscapes. Elevated at about 1,000 meters above sea level, Saputara boasts a pleasant climate year-round, lush green forests, undulating mountains, and a beautiful lake at its center.

Whether you are looking for an adventurous trekking experience, a serene boating session on Saputara Lake, or a dive into the rich tribal culture of the region, Saputara has something for every traveler. The town comes alive particularly during the monsoon season when the surrounding forests are washed in vibrant greens and numerous waterfalls spring to life.
