💳 Entry Pricing & Booking Rules
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.
🗓️ Best Time to Plan a Visit
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. Alternatively, late afternoon visits (3:30 PM to 5:30 PM) allow you to complete the tour under soft sunlight and head directly to the evening Laser Show or Glow Garden, making optimal use of your travel schedule.
📍 Distance & Internal Transit from SOU Plaza
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.
