The Paid Guide Service is a prominent attraction located in Ekta Nagar, Kevadia, Gujarat, developed as part of the massive eco-tourism master plan surrounding the iconic Statue of Unity. Designed to offer visitors a unique experience, this paid guide service showcases the natural beauty, cultural heritage, and modern sustainable infrastructure of the Narmada Valley. It serves as an educational and leisure destination, perfect for family tours, student groups, and solo travelers exploring Kevadia.

The attraction is an excellent addition to your SOU trip itinerary, offering beautiful sightseeing opportunities, natural microclimates, and interactive activities.
The visiting hours for the Paid Guide Service are scheduled daily from Tuesday to Sunday, typically opening at 09:00 AM - 06:00 PM and closing by 06:00 PM. To ensure optimal crowd management and a comfortable tour experience, entry slot booking is implemented. Visitors are advised to check their slots and arrive at least 15 minutes prior. Please note that, in line with the standard policies of the entire Kevadia tourism zone, the Paid Guide Service remains strictly closed to the public every Monday for weekly deep cleaning, structural checks, gardening maintenance, and restoration works.

The admission ticket price for the Paid Guide Service is ₹1000.00 for Adults (aged 18 and above) and ₹1000.00 for Children (aged 3 to 17 years). Toddlers and infants under the age of 3 years are allowed entry free of charge without requiring a separate pass. The ticket fare covers full entry access to the main attractions, designated gardens, exhibition rooms, and walking trails inside the premises. It also includes the shared transit utility of the eco-friendly green AC electric shuttle buses that operate continuously throughout Ekta Nagar. Tickets can be booked seamlessly online, which is highly recommended as on-site booking windows have limited stock and may result in long waiting queues, especially during weekends and holidays.
The most recommended season to visit the Paid Guide Service is during the winter months, spanning from October to March, when the temperatures in Gujarat drop to a pleasant 15°C to 28°C, making outdoor sightseeing and walking highly enjoyable. In terms of daily timing, the early morning hours (9:00 AM to 11:30 AM) offer the freshest air, cool breezes, and excellent lighting for photography.

The Paid Guide Service is situated in the scenic eco-tourism zone of Ekta Nagar, located approximately 3.5 to 5.5 kilometers away from the main Statue of Unity monument plaza.
