We were at Baroda for a family function and had an extra day. So thought of exploring the Dinosaur Fossil Park. It was a unique experience. How to reach: 2.5 hrs drive from Baroda and around 1.5 hrs from Ahmedabad. Bus from Baroda to Balasinor available at frequent intervals. On reaching Baroda auto can be hired to reach the park. About the park: Raiyoli site is the second largest Dinosaur hatchery in the world and the 3rd largest fossil site. More than 10,000 eggs were found from this site. It has fossils of different types of dinosaurs. Kids enjoyed seeing the giant Dinosaur structures. Overall it is a nice place for 1 day trip from Ahmedabad or Baroda. Tips : The fossil park will involve some walking. Carry caps and glears. The park and museum are open all days. There are no stay options nearby. Garden Palace Balasinor is the stay option provided by Babi family.
How to plan your Own Travel People like to travel but most of the people get scare to travel on their own and reach out to travel agents to buy their existing travel package or get help from travel agents to customise package for them. This kind of travel plan is convenient but may prove costly and also there is no adventure in it.

Few of my office colleagues planned to have a trip. So we all started thinking of some nice place for either one day trip or overnight. A simple trip to some resort nearby didn't exite us much. We all wanted some fun, some adventure. One of the plan was most liked by all and that was river rafting at Kolad. Kolad is a village located in Raigad district of Maharashtra. It is on the banks of Kundalika river. The location is very picturesque which makes it a ideal destination. Kolad is around 120 kms from Mumbai. It can be reached from Mumbai or Pune for a weekend getaway. We were a group of 10 people and so we hired a vehicle to travel conveniently from Mumbai. Also vehicle will be better to commute to rafting point and back from the rafting end point. We opted for overnight package by RiverTrail Adventure and resort. We stayed at their Pali site and it was a beautiful property. Rooms were clean. We took 2 five bed rooms. They also have option for tent stay....
