Polo Forest attracts monsoon tourists in Gujarat
Polo Forest in the Sabarkantha district of Gujarat has seen an increase in tourism due to the monsoon season. The landscape, characterized by mist-covered forests, waterfalls, and the Harnav and Vanaj rivers, is attracting visitors from nearby cities such as Ahmedabad and Vadodara.
Beyond its natural scenery, the forest holds significant historical value, featuring conserved Jain and Hindu temples dating back to the 15th century. The rise in tourism is also providing economic benefits to local tribal communities through services such as guiding, homestays, and food stalls.
To manage the influx of visitors and promote responsible tourism, authorities are implementing measures including waste management, plastic checks, and coordinated safety arrangements.
