Jetpur Kevdi is a eco tourism campsite situated near Mandvi, Surat. Normally I don’t start any post with clarification but Kevdi campsite needs it.
There are two campsites in Gujarat: Having same name as Kevdi.
That’s the confusion. You’ll search on Google, “Kevdi Campsite” and find a link of Gujarat Tourism on top. That’s Kevdi located in Vadodara district on GJ SH 62! Not in Surat.
Thus, make sure you’re looking at this: Kevdi Eco Tourism Site, Kevdi, Gujarat on Google Maps, otherwise you’d reach to Vadodara in search of Kevdi!
Let’s go in
Personally, I haven’t been to this place.
I had prepared two lists:
Many people found them very useful. Then, I started preparing a list of campsites in Gujarat. At that time, I remembered Kevdi, Madvi as Tanmay Naik suggested me the campsite once. All photos are by Tanmay.
