In a bid to boost tourism in Gujarat, the Dharoi Dam area in the state’s northern region is set to transform into a premier sustainable destination. This ambitious initiative by the state government aims to turn Dharoi Dam into a central hub, linking key sites such as Vadnagar, Taranga, Ambaji, and Rani Ki Vav, all within a 90 km radius. The development, which is planned in three phases with an estimated budget of INR 1100 crore, is poised to reshape the region’s tourism landscape.
The comprehensive development plan for Dharoi Dam includes the creation of an Adventure Water Sports Arena, an innovative River Edge Development Leisure Show Infrastructure featuring an Amphitheatre, and several themed parks, such as Panchatatva Park and Naad Brahm Upavan. Additionally, a Visitor Centre and a Water Experience Park are part of the proposal, aimed at enriching the visitor experience and offering diverse recreational activities.

Hasrat Jasmine, the District Development Officer of Mehsana, emphasized the project’s long-term vision to position North Gujarat as a significant tourism circuit, with Dharoi as its focal point. Surrounding pilgrimage sites like Ambaji, Hatkeshwar Temple, and Vadnagar will serve as complementary attractions, enhancing the area’s appeal. Jasmine anticipates that this initiative will not only boost local revenue but also establish Dharoi as a cultural and tourism epicenter.
