Dakor Vadtal Anand

Last week I visited my brother's residence in Vallabh Vidhyanagar and decided to visit nearby places of interest which included Dakor and Vadtal temples and Amul Dairy.

We stayed at Mahadev Nagar in Vallabh Vidyanagar. We planned to visit all three places in a day. At around 9 AM we started from our place to Dakor via this route. It is situated around 35 KM from Vallabh Vidyanagar. We reached Dakor at around 10:15 AM and parked our car in a paid parking for INR 30. We then went for Darshan and luckily, we were able to have Shringar Darshan. After that we went for some donation and got some prasad for our donation. Typically you get 5 packets of prasad for INR 50. Recently there is a boat ride created on Gomti lake and we went for ride at around 11 AM which cost INR 10 per person. The ride takes you to the center of the lake where there is a temple. After boat ride we again went for Rajbhog Darshan and finally departed for journey back at around 11:45 PM.


We reached Vallabh Vidyanagar at around 12:45 PM and had lunch. We then started for Amul Dairy visit which is located here. We had taken prior appointment from Amul Dairy as mentioned on the website. Timings for visit are between 2 PM to 4 PM.


The photos are not allowed but I somehow sneaked some. It took almost an hour to complete a plant visit. We then bought some chocolates from inside the Amul Parlour at MRP without any discount but when we went out, we found that there is an Amul Retail Parlour outside where things are 10% cheaper then MRP so please keep this in mind when you purchase. At around 4 PM we departed for Vadtal temple and reached there via this route at around 4:30 PM. We completed Vadtal temple visit by 5 PM and then went back to Vallabh Vidyanagar.

The weather was very hot there but we still enjoyed our time.
