Nestled amidst the lush green Sahyadri ranges, Saputara is Gujarat’s only hill station, offering a refreshing escape from the plains. Located in the Dang district near the Maharashtra border, this charming destination sits at an altitude of about 1,000 meters above sea level, surrounded by misty hills, dense forests, and cool breezes throughout the year. The name Saputara, meaning “Abode of Serpents,” reflects the region’s tribal heritage, where the local Dang tribe worships the serpent god by the Sarpaganga River.

Saputara is a perfect blend of nature, culture, and adventure. The tranquil Saputara Lake at the heart of the town invites visitors for peaceful boat rides, while Sunrise Point and Sunset Point offer breathtaking panoramic views of the valley. The Gira Waterfalls, located nearby, cascade down from a height amidst the verdant forest, making it a must-visit during the monsoon. The Saputara Tribal Museum showcases the vibrant traditions and artistry of the local tribal community, and the Artist Village promotes regional handicrafts and paintings.

Adventure enthusiasts can enjoy trekking, ropeway rides, and nature walks, while families can relax at the Step Garden and Rose Garden. Throughout the year, Saputara’s pleasant weather, scenic viewpoints, and eco-friendly environment make it a favored destination for honeymooners, families, and nature lovers alike.
