Riverside camping with family

Date of Journey: 21/10/2017
Route: Surat- palsana- vyara- songadh- after RTO check post turn left toward thuti village- goes toward the end point of the road.

I and my friend Rajan both are planning for camping since 15days, as part of we buy camping equipment like tent, chair and necessary all things which help in camping

we start our journey from Surat at 11: 30PM
we take all stuff needed in camping like water, food, equipment, even lakdi (wood) buy from Surat.

 Nishchal agrwal a local guy from songadh & his friends who help us for location and basic help n support over theirs.

camping Place is awesome, it is nearly songadh, a village name THUTI.
it is a kind of reservoir of tapi over ukai dam.

we find a proper site for camping & bring all stuff over their from a car. it takes hardly 15 min to erect both tents, also put bedsheet n pillow inside the tent. after finish camping basic then goes with a boat over the fish breeding place. after return from their, start to ignite a campfire. it takes too much time because it is the first time for us. start music & enjoy rest of evening. then we made bhel and eat.

wake up in the early morning at 6am, & witness of morning atmosphere which is too good. again restart fire n make Meggi, pasta on Chula also made a veg sandwich. the morning session is also interesting with fun n music.  take pictures of natural views and few selfies of the campsite. we leave from their 10pm and goes toward bhenskatri.

Point to learn from

  • the new experience from a routine outing
  • all over adventure
  • unique n extraordinary place

Devghat : natural beauty with dense forest

Date of journey : 15/08/2017
Route: Surat-kamrej- Shampura- Vihan chokdi- kadod- mandvi- go on zankhvava mandvi road-  turn right side on umarpada road- stay continue on SH 613 till umarpada cahr rasta (on road right side board Toward devghat u seen)- then turn right side on chowkdi toward Ditvan village it is single lane road again turn right side (again u see board of devghat)- u see forest check post n start forest upto 6-7 km dense forest road end with devghat


Devghat Falls, Near Ditvan, umarpada
Google Location :  https://goo.gl/maps/noJedirma4y

Google map not show direct end with devghat but road continue end with devghat waterfall parking 

Devghat has links to religious faiths. Linked with the tribal gods residing besides this waterfall. here two ghat one is Kinghat & devdhat. first waterfall is name as kinghat. It is name as small fish name kin which is  found in river so this ghat name as  Kinghat. second water fall is name Devghat,  as a name suggest a small temple having all gods & goddess in their and every body pray here by own gods. Local tribal often come this place to offer their pray and devotion to the god.

During rainy days like June July avoid this place because heavy water rush in river stream may create problem. Post Rainy days  is  the right time to go at this site as like  August to December but after november watyerfall is decrease in size 

Small parking place and if some one  want to cook food also small hand pump for water  and separate RCC shed  for cooking 
place is little bit non familiar among traveller so not much rush but may be if increase rush of  people then parking may be issue.

Positive points
  • place for nature love 
  • dense forest with awosome 6km forest ride (it feel like Jim corbett)
  • best place for camping along with riverside
  • water available through handpump for cooking  or drinking
  • may bath in river not under waterfall (But own risk)
  • family picnic u may enjoy halfday or full day with self entertainment like playing games n spend quality time with love once 
Minuspoints
  • food is not available 
  • waterfall is dangerous if not cautious while taking selfie or pics 
  • bathing is also dangerous
