  • 🕕 Depart by 7:00 AM from Ahmedabad to reach Kevadia by 10:30 AM — before crowds build at the viewing gallery.
  • 🎟️ Book Statue of Unity entrance tickets online at soutickets.in — slots sell out, especially on weekends and public holidays.
  • 🌡️ Best time to visit: October to March. Avoid May–June (extreme heat at Kevadia, 40°C+).
  • 📱 Keep the driver's contact saved — mobile signal is patchy near the Sardar Sarovar Dam.
  • 🍛 For lunch, the Ekta Mall food court near the statue has reliable vegetarian Gujarati thali options.
  • 🌅 For the laser show (7:30 PM), plan a round-trip and return to Ahmedabad by 10:30 PM.
Is the Statue of Unity open on Monday?

No. The Statue of Unity is closed every Monday for maintenance. Plan your trip for any other day of the week — if Monday is the only day that works, call us and we will suggest an alternative destination for that day.

What are the Statue of Unity visiting hours?

The site is open 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Tuesday through Sunday. Last entry is 4:00 PM, so arriving after that means you will not get in even though the gates are still open.

How far is the Statue of Unity from Ahmedabad?

About 192 km by road, via the NE-1 Ahmedabad–Vadodara Expressway and NH64. Pure driving time is roughly 2 hours 40 minutes; we quote around 3.5 hours door to door, which allows for a pit stop at Anand and getting clear of Ahmedabad traffic.

What time should we leave Ahmedabad for a day trip?

Leave by 7:00 AM. That puts you at Kevadia around 10:30 AM, comfortably inside the 4:00 PM last-entry cutoff, and gives you the full 6–8 hours needed to cover the viewing gallery, Valley of Flowers and the other attractions before the 6:00 PM close.

Can the Statue of Unity be done as a day trip from Ahmedabad?

Yes, comfortably. With a 7:00 AM departure and a 6:00 PM departure from Kevadia, you are back in Ahmedabad by around 8:45 PM. If you want to stay for the evening laser and light show at 7:30 PM, expect to reach home closer to 10:30 PM, or book a night in Kevadia.

How much does a cab from Ahmedabad to the Statue of Unity cost?

One-way starts at ₹3,200 for a Swift Dzire and ₹3,700 for an Ertiga. Round trip starts at ₹4,800 and includes up to 6 hours of waiting time at Kevadia. Toll of about ₹200 and a ₹250 driver meal allowance are charged separately — both are shown on the fare table above rather than added at the end.
