点评:We had assumed that apart from the statue of Sardar Vallabhai Patel that towers over everything else, there would be nothing else to see! But, there are plenty of things around to see and do!
River Rafting
This highly thrilling activity is possible owing to the Sardar Sarovar Dam which regularly releases 600 cusec flow of water. The official Statue Of Unity website says that there are 6 rapids through the Narmada channel. This is Gujarat state's first river rafting spot which was opened to the public in 2019 and is located in Ekta Nagar.
Boat Rides
Visitors can enjoy the sight of the pristine waters of the Narmada river from close quarters by taking boat rides. A ride lasts for around 45 minutes and takes you to the gorgeous Panchmuli Lake which is surrounded by lush green forests.
Valley of Flowers
This is spread over 24 acres of land and claims to host over 22 lakh varieties of plants. Additionally, one can see over 300 varieties of flowers which makes it a sight see. Seeing such a large area of green cover is a special feeling.
Cactus Garden
As the name suggests, this is a botanical garden that houses 6 lakh plants of 450 species! Don't forget to see them from a distance because they are all Cactus! This garden is spread across an area of 25 acres and aims to showcase the typical desert ecosystem but in a place that has no dearth of water.
Dino Trail
The Narmada Valley was home to the Rajasaurus Narmadensis, an endemic species of dinosaur during the Cretaceous period. A replica of the dinosaur has been created and is on display for visitors.

Spread over a 10 acre area, it is home to over 70 butterfly species. There are plenty of flowers in this garden to ensure that the butterflies get to feed on fresh juice. Additionally, one can learn about the entire life cycle of butterflies.
Sardar Sarovar Dam
This is India's second-largest dam and it supplies water and electricity to four different states. It is 1.2kms in length, with a height of 163 metres, and 30 radial gates with each one weighing about 450 tonnes!
Laser Light Show
Except Monday, a laser show happens everyday with laser beams being projected on the Statue Of Unity. During the show, one gets to know the life of Sardar Vallabhai Patel and his contribution to the making of our great nation.
