Willingdon Dam
વિલિંગ્ડન ડેમ
A small reservoir at the foot of Girnar that overflows after the monsoon rains, a place where locals take evening strolls and watch the mountains.
Willingdon Dam was built in the 1930s on the southeastern edge of the city, on the fringe of Girnar Forest, with hills behind it. After the monsoon, water spills over the dam face and forms a small waterfall. The surroundings have snack stalls and walking trails, and local families come on weekends. The Datar Hill trail is nearby. The scenery is simple, so it suits visitors with plenty of time or those who want to watch the sunset. It is about 15 minutes from the city center by tuk-tuk.
