The historical place Champaner was named by this name in the 8th century by the King Vanraj after General Champa. Later this place was ruled by Rajputs and Gujarat Sultans. Sultan of Gujarat, Mahmud Begada in the 15th century rebuild this place and whatever we see today here is constructed in that period.
Today the place is part of Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park. The historical monuments here consist of a series of fortifications, temples, mosques which can be seen on the hill top as well as plains below it.

This place looks like it has a myriad of historic sites, Rajesh. I see you have egrets in India.
I saw the same birds in Agra. Do you know what these birds are called?
Looks like an interesting place to explore. Love the design of the structure over the road in the first photo.

Layers of history there and as always fascinating. The birds and flowers are s lovely bonus!
Lots of great places to visit around there, Rajesh.

Nice pictures, and nice Egrets.
That's great that they turned the area into a park.

Great pictures and interesting heat haze that envelopes
the place.

I'm visiting Champaner this week. Any tips? :)
Antonina: You will require 1 full day to visit both Pavagadh and Champaner. Take food with you. Restaurant in the area are not very great.
Thanks, Rajesh, I'll take food and water. I think I'll go only for Champaner this time - it's a one day trip and I'd like to see a bit of Vadodara too, especially Laxmi Vilas Palace and Baroda museum.
