Valsad Pincodes

Valsad, situated at an average elevation of 13 meters, is about 4 km inland from the Arabian Sea. Nearby, there’s Parnera Mountain, also known as the Fort of Chhatrapati Maharaj, about 5-6 km away. A significant fair is held during Navaratri, drawing thousands of pilgrims to Chandrika Mataji, Kalika Mataji, Hanumanji Temple, and Shankar Bhagwan Temple on this mountain. Muslims visit a Dargah there too.

To the east, there’s a series of Sahyadri mountains, and Valsad district covers 2,951.29 sq.km. The city is the headquarters of the Railway Defense Force and has a training center. Valsad has a vibrant A.P.M.C. market for agricultural products, including chikoos.

Dharampur and Kaparada talukas in Valsad district are predominantly tribal areas, nestled in the Sahyadri mountain chain. The region’s hill stations offer natural beauty but lack accommodation facilities. However, they hold potential for tourism development with flowing rivers, high mountains, dense forests, and natural beauty.

Dharampur houses a District Science Center with modern scientific instruments, attracting science enthusiasts from Valsad, Maharashtra, and Daman and Nagar Haveli. Barumal features a splendid temple of Bhagwan “Bhav Bhaveshwar” made of eight metals, evolving into a pilgrim destination.

The “Sahayadri Srushti Centre,” constructed by the Forest Department of Valsad South Division, captivates tourists heading from Valsad to Nasik, offering a treasure trove of numerous herbs from natural sources, with 250 tree types and 225 medicinal herbs.
