Back in 1970, the Forest Department of Gandhinagar initiated plantation in the area, which has today grown to become one of the most stunning man-made forests. Inhabited by a plethora of wildlife and plant life, the uneven sloping terrain has a low river running through and is a beautifully scenic spot to revel in. The Indroda Dinosaur and Fossil Park on the premises, is a treasure trove occupying an area of about 400 hectares on either bank of Sabarmati river. The second largest hatchery of dinosaur eggs in the world, it is popularly referred to as India's Jurrasic Park. Featuring rare skeletal remains of dinosaurs like the Brontosaurus, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Iguanodon, T-Rax, Rhamphornicus, Dienonycus, Ceradectylus, Rajasaurus narmadensis, Allosaurus etc displayed in accordance with the period of their occurrence, this is one trip the kids will never forget.
