About Polo Forest
Polo Forest sits in the Vijaynagar range of Sabarkantha, where a 15th-century temple complex has been slowly reclaimed by dry deciduous forest. It is the closest real forest to Ahmedabad, which is why it works so well as a one-day trip — you leave the city before sunrise and are walking under trees by breakfast.
Monsoon is when Polo comes alive: the Harnav river runs full, seasonal waterfalls appear along the trail, and the whole valley turns green. Winter is drier but far better for long walks and birdwatching.
Available trip formats: One Day Trip · Bike Ride
