1) Bus (Rp96) from Ahmedabad Central Bus Station to Vadodara Bus Station (112km) - missed our first bus to Pavagath so we decided to take a bus to Vadodara for a connecting bus to Pavagadh .
2) Bus (Rp47) from Vadodara Bus Station to Pavagadh (44km)
3) Shared Jeep (Rp20) from T-Junction to Machi (near Ropeway)
4) Ropeway (Rp116 return) to Pavagath hilltop (Kalika Mata Temple meaning the Great Black Mother) - long queue of pilgrims & worshippers due to Sunday weekend, waiting time to take the cable car ride was approx. 45 mins. Alternatively, you can opt for a uphill walk of 1 hour to the hilltop (5km)
5) Arriving at the hilltop
6) Chashiya Lake
7) Kalika Mataji Mandir Temple
8) Descending by ropeway (cable car) from the pilgrim center at the summit of Pavagadh Hill which is within the Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park
