The largest Hindu temple in the country…BAPS Swaminarayan Akshardam, did not disappoint. It was such a spiritual place and it was absolutely beautiful🩷 The admission is free, parking ample, and the views were stunning. The architecture and craftsmanship were simply amazing…just wow!!
Spectacular. Surprising detail and quality of infrastructure. Free parking and admission. The sculptures are abundant, spiritual and of high quality. Very beautiful
Amazing trip! We were skeptical of the small transport at first, we were expecting a tour bus but with only 4 of us it made sense to provide an suv. Upon arrival we were amazed by the gorgeous views of the temple and the grounds. Pamela, our tour guide, was amazing! Very knowledgeable about the temple and its significance and very helpful with photos and photo angles, also very charismatic. She took us thru the amazing temples, the blessing ceremony, and talked to some of the temple volunteers to learn more about the culture. It’s definitely worth the 1.5hr drive and I highly recommend it and recommend Pamela!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our experience was absolutely spectacular! Pamela made our tour unforgettable with her warmth, knowledge, and attention to detail. She explained everything thoroughly and brought the history to life in such a meaningful way. I walk with a cane, and Pamela went out of her way to register me for a complimentary wheelchair, ensuring I could comfortably explore both inside and outside the temples. Her thoughtfulness didn’t stop the re, she offered helpful suggestions throughout and even took photos for us so we could cherish the memories. Pamela truly elevated our experience, and we’re so grateful for her care and expertise. If we could give her more stars we would!
It was an awesome experience! Pame was an excelente guide, cheerful and knowledgeable. We really recommend tour withe them.
