Mahal Eco Tourism Campsite Dangs, Gujarat

The Dangs // Mahal Campsite

Mahal Eco Tourism campsite is one of the four eco-tourism centers in the Dangs, Gujarat. Located on the banks of Purna river, Mahal campsite offers excellent trekking and walking options. Surrounded by rich Purna Wildlife Sanctuary forests (touted as thickest bamboo forest in Gujarat), and no modern technological facilities (no mobile networks), this is the place if you want to rest from noisy-hasty city life.

Mahal eco tourism center, Ahwa is part of North Dang forest division of Gujarat. North Dang forest division also handles Girli lodges, near Girmal falls. The campsite falls in the boundary of Mahal village, which is on Ahwa – Songadh road, about 40 minutes drive from Ahwa.

Mahal campsite was one of last 3 places in Dang I hadn’t visited. We finally planned a trip there on 14th November, 2015 (which was my 21st birthday!).

Currently I’m putting up only basic information and photos in this article as I’ve exams and tight schedule for some time being. I will update and detail this post as soon as I’ll get some free moments. Contact meย or drop a comment down the page for any queries, I’ll reply soon.

Location

Mahal campsite is located on Ahwa-Songadh road, 30 km from Ahwa.

40 minutes breezing drive amongst dense jungles of North Dang and Purna Wildlife Sanctuary. Just drive straight, no need to take any turns.

Accommodation & Food

Mahal Campsite has 4 cottages and 10 tents. You need to book them via forest department.

Prices are around Rs. 500 per night. (Not sure about this figure, but it’s far reasonable than hotel rates for sure.)

No, food is not available inside the campsite. No commercial activity is allowed by forest department inside the campus so you won’t find anything to eat or drink. Not even a tea.

You’ll need to either make food on your own or go out to Mahal Village and eat. (Food quality is mediocre though.)

    Hi Darpan,
    It is a really helpful post. I was wondering if you have any info regarding prior permission to Purna Sanctuary (Mahal Forest)? I mean from where and when to get permission as we are planning to visit this place at the end of March. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    1. Darpan Dodiya Avatar

      Hi Supriya,

      Thanks.

      You’ll need to get in touch with North Dang Forest Department.

      As far as I know, you don’t require any permission to visit the Mahal Campsite.

      Forest department landline number is mentioned up in the article..please have a look.

    Hii Darpanji,
    I am planning to go to Mahal Campsite for One day with family so Is there any need to book..? and I want to know that Is there any place for bath under falls or river with family..??
    Kindly revert on it as soon as possible..

    1. Darpan Dodiya Avatar

      Hello Paragji,

      You need booking etc only for overnight stay at Mahal Campsite. For one day, there’s no need of booking or permission.

      Mahal Campsite is located on the bank of Purna River. You’ll find places to bath in river. Water will be brownish and little dirty due to monsoon rains though.

      1. Parag Avatar
        Parag

        Thanks for the revert..
        One more thing I want to ask that Can we do any trekking activities for the day..? If yes then How much they charge for it and Is there need of advance booking..?

        1. Darpan Dodiya Avatar

          Sorry, I’m afraid I do not have correct answer for that. Have never been for trekking there so can’t provide you firm answer.

          The best way to know that is to call their landline number listed above. If they pick up, they might be able to help you.

    hello mr. darpan hwo do i book for my dang trip?? plzz help me out

    1. Darpan Dodiya Avatar

      Hi Dhruv,

      The only way to book campsite is to call forest department officials and then (maybe) send email.

      Contact numbers given above in the article are latest and best to my knowledge.

      If the land line number is not working then I don’t see any other way. Sadly. ๐Ÿ™

      (Above all is applicable to general civilians like you and me though. Contacts in forest/government departments can give you direct bookings to the campsites.)

    Hello Everyone,

    I am Vatsal Gheewala and would like to share my most recent experience which will help others to plan a better trip to Mahal Eco Campsite, a kind of Dos and Don’ts.

    Firstly I had visited the place on 28/01/2017 and writing this on 30/01/2017, and I had failed to get a camp there for a night stay.

    Secondly, contact details given above seems to be partly correct.
    The landline number is 100% correct as it was confirmed by me on the entrance of campsite, whereas can’t say about the first mobile number and two E-mail IDs as the same was never answered. The Second mobile number was answered after so many efforts and was replied to be a WRONG NUMBER. So I would advise not to try that one.

    Anyone planning to go there should contact them (through Emails or First Mobile Number or Landline Number given or all) in advance of 2-3 weeks, to be on a safer side. As on 28/01/2017, the camps were booked up to the 15/02/2017.

    From the above information we also had Emailed them on 27/01/2017, to be in advance, but out of luck, this much advance period was not sufficient, and we had to miss an awesome night. And also we were clueless regarding what could be our next step for staying in night.

    Next if you get failed to obtain a place there, keep in mind nearest place to have a night stay is Shabridham Mandir, which is approximately 18 KMs away from campsite. You can stay at Shabri Resort which is 2-3 KMs away from the temple.

    We had planned to travel through Public Transport.

    But I would recommend you not to rely on it as we had made mistake.

    The Public Transport is not so frequent. After 14:00 Hrs you won’t find any state buses from campsite. Without night stay anyone can roam in the campsite till 18:00 Hrs. After that it is almost impossible to find any kind of public or private transport. Although till 16:30-17:00 you might find private autos from nearest cross-roads from Mahal Eco Campsite to Shabridham.

    If anyone has properly planned and booked camp can reach there from Ahwa. I guess the last bus to Mahal was at 12:00 Hrs.

    Although a trip to such place is also possible with public transport, trip in own vehicle is more preferred.

    The purpose of this post is just to give the idea to face the situation which we had to face.

    Go Ahead, Plan well, Enjoy the trip and have an amazing experience.

          I call Gujarat Tourism booking helpline toll free number they gave . When I called the guy said Wrong Number. Landline phone number seems correct but there is no one to respond.

          1. Darpan Dodiya Avatar

            Ah, that’s bad.

            A fun fact about Gujarat Tourism helpline though: Often when you call their helpline number, they just do a Google search and tell you the number found on Google. (Mostly, they give you numbers published on this site ๐Ÿ˜€ )

            Try your luck with one more number: Mr Dineshbhai +91 98245 11561. If this doesn’t work out then calling the landline number seems to be the only option to me.

            Alas, not. I visited Mahal last Sunday. There was no waterfall at that place because of no rain. There is no much to do there but itโ€™s good feeling to visit new place at least once. All cottages were given to forest police staff as they had some kind of official meeting there. At the entry gate, gatekeeper (in khakhi uniform) in generous mood warned us โ€œbefore paying Rs.200 keep in mind that there not much to do inside, there is no guarantee of parking availabilityโ€ ๐Ÿ™‚

          5. Darpan Dodiya Avatar

            Oh, snap.

            Yes, so far I have heard that only Gira Falls near Waghai has some running water. Most others waterfalls are still dead.

            Good guy gatekeeper. ๐Ÿ™‚

            He was right, unless you plan to stay at Mahal overnight, there’s nothing much to do standalone, especially in monsoon season.

            Thanks for your prompt response.

    Hi Mr. Darpan I am planning to go dang on14,15,16 and 17 January.
    Kindly let me know that is that right time to go. Also provide me itinerary for that if possible. I am interested for staying in campsite.

    Thanks for your kind help.

    1. Darpan Dodiya Avatar

      Hello Dr.Bhatt!

      The best time to visit Dang is monsoon season and a month after monsoon. You’d miss out cherishing the greenary, nevertheless, Dang won’t be absolutely disappointing in mid-January days. So you can visit it still.

      I’m assuming 3 nights and 4 days trip as per the date you’ve mentioned. Based on that and your interest in staying in campsite, I suggest you following itinerary:

      14th Jan: Janki Van, Vansda National Park
      14th Jan Night: Kilad Campsite

      15th Jan: Take help of guide at Kilad and trek to Girafalls, Ahwa (It’s Dang district headquarters, you can buy stuff from here)
      15th Jan Night: Mahal Campsite

      16th Jan: Girmal Waterfall, Shabari Dham, Pampa Sarovar (These days, this place would be deserted though)
      16th Jan Night: Saputara

      17th Jan: Full day at Saputara

      Let me know if I can help you in any other regards.

      Happy Journey!

      Yes, Mahal is great option for such picnics. I advise you to call the forest department and check for availability of 40 people however. As for the upcoming Christmas festival, there will be tourist rush.

    Hi Darpan,
    You are doing great volunteer work giving all information about Dang travelling. I also need your help in some information.
    I am from Ahmedabad. Me and my family planning for 3 day and 2 nights.and I have no idea about stay, transportation in Dang District. I will be visit first time there so my questions is

    At which center place we should to stay so we can explore all major sites?
    Is there any tourist transport facility from private or government agencies?

    1. Darpan Dodiya Avatar

      Hi Rajendra,

      1. At which center place we should to stay so we can explore all major sites?
      >> You can stay one night at Saputara. Then one night at Mahal Campsite.

      Check out this article for list of all possible stay options in Dang: Where to stay in Dang?

      Staying in Saputara hotels is heavy on pockets, you can try to get booking in one of the campsites.

      2. Is there any tourist transport facility from private or government agencies?
      >> Unfortunately, no.

      I highly recommend to get your private vehicle.

      Let me know if you need to know anything else.

      Cheers!

      Hello,

      Planning is something I refrain to suggest to anyone.

      Mr. Jinesh Mehta from Jamnagar had followed below itinerary. Please have a look at it:

      25 Thursday เชธเชพเชชเซเชคเชพเชฐเชพเชฅเซ€ -เช…เช‚เชœเชจเซ€ เชชเชฐเซเชตเชค, เชฆเซ‡เชตเซ€เชจเชพเชฎเชพเชณ (เช•เซ‡เชฎเซเชช เชธเชพเช‡เชก) เช†เชนเชตเชพ เชฅเช‡ เชกเซ‹เชจ เชธเชพเช‚เชœเซ‡ เชธเชพเชชเซเชคเชพเชฐเชพ

      26 Friday เชธเชพเชชเซเชคเชพเชฐเชพเชฅเซ€ โ€“ เชธเชฌเชฐเซ€ เช˜เชพเชฎ, เชชเช‚เชชเชพ เชธเชฐเซ‹เชตเชฐ, เช—เซ€เชฐเชพ เช˜เซ‹เช˜ เชฐเซ€เชŸเชฐเซเชจ เชธเซเชฌเซ€เชฐ เชฅเช‡ เชฎเชนเชพเชฒ เช•เซ‡เชฎเซเชช เชธเชพเช‚เชœเซ‡ เชธเชพเชชเซเชคเชพเชฐเชพ

      27 Saturday เชธเชพเชชเซเชคเชพเชฐเชพเชฅเซ€- เชตเช˜เช‡ เช—เซ€เชฐเชพ เช˜เซ‹เช˜, เชฌเซ‹เชŸเชพเชจเซ€เช•เชฒ เช—เชพเชฐเซเชกเชจ, เช•เซ€เชฒเซเชฒเชพเชฆ เช•เซ‡เชฎเซเชช เชธเชพเช‡เชŸ เชธเชพเช‚เชœเซ‡ เชธเชพเชชเซเชคเชพเชฐเชพ

      28 Sunday เชธเชพเชชเซเชคเชพเชฐเชพเชฅเซ€- เช†เชนเชตเชพ เชฅเช‡ เชชเซ€เช‚เชชเชฐเซ€ เชฅเซ€ เช•เชพเชฒเซ€เชฌเซ‡เชฒ เชฅเช‡ เชฎเชพเชฏเชพเชฆเซ‡เชตเซ€ เช…เชจเซ‡ เชคเซเชฏเชพเช‚เชฅเซ€ เชตเซเชฏเชพเชฐเชพ เชฅเช‡ เชฐเชพเชœเชชเซ€เชชเชณเชพ เชฅเช‡ เช…เชฎเชฆเชพเชตเชพเชฆ.

      So now you can see that 3-4 days are pretty much enough to explore Dang area. So 5/6 days are definitely sufficient.

      Find the article for: Places to visit in Dang

      Find the article for: Places to Stay in Dang

      Find the article for: Places to visit in Saputara

      I hope I have cleared your doubts.

      Sorry for a little late reply. I always try to reply within 24 hours however since I was on trip for last few days, couldn’t.

    Dear Darpan,

    Thanks for this information. We visited this place recently and it is amazing. However stay is not allowed during monsoon and hence we have to go to SUBIR (16-20 km away) for night stay where only one resort is available.

    Please share this for benefits to others who want to visit.

    Mahal eco campsite I want to go tomorrow. The roads are good from bardoli ?? What about food and river there ?? Shall we enjoy simple swimming in river there ?? Any waterfall nearby..

    1. Darpan Dodiya Avatar

      Roads are decent.

      Food is not available.

      Stay is not available during monsoon.

      No idea about swimming in river.

      There’s Girmal Waterfall nearby, which is touted as highest waterfall of Gujarat.

    Hi Mr. Darpan,
    Nice info you’ve given.
    We 3 couples are planning to go there. Is rainy season fine to go there? Plz suggest us regarding our trip. Thanks in advance.

    1. Darpan Dodiya Avatar

      Yes, of course it is fine. In fact, monsoon and post monsoon seasons are the best!

      Go ahead, have an awesome trip!

        One more query Sir,

        What about food & safety.?

        1. Darpan Dodiya Avatar

          Campsite is safe.

          Food – Either prepare on your own or go to nearby village hotel. Campsite doesn’t provide food.

    1. Darpan Dodiya Avatar

      Hi Sandip.

      I’ve already expressed my concerns in reply to Ankit’s comment below.

      Please read comment of Madhavi. She has confirmed that the booking details of Mahal Campsite, Dangs, I’ve written about are correct and are the only way to book campsite.

    15 person. Pls help 4 book cottage.

      I can’t stress more on this: I’m NOT a travel agent or a booking agent who does booking for various campsites.

      I travel to places and write about them so that it can be helpful to fellow travellers, like you.

      For booking and contact details, please re-read the article. Contact numbers are there, contact them, not me.
