Dakor's Ranchhodraiji temple and the Kalika Mata temple on Pavagadh hill are two of central Gujarat's favourite darshans, and they lie on the same road. At the foot of the hill, Champaner-Pavagadh is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with old mosques, step wells and fort walls.
A day trip covers both with an early start; two days leave time for the Champaner monuments and a calmer climb. A tempo traveller suits a family; a mini bus or coach takes a whole society or satsang group, and the driver waits at each stop while the group has darshan.
