Ahmedabad to Polo Forest distance and route
The drive takes about 3.5 hours in normal traffic, mostly via Himmatnagar, Idar and Vijaynagar.
- Himmatnagar and Idar are the main towns on the way.
- Polo Forest, near Vijaynagar, is a stretch of dense forest along the Harnav river dotted with ruined 10th-15th century temples.
- The area sits at the edge of the Aravalli range, with a noticeably cooler, greener feel than the plains around Ahmedabad.
- This is best visited between October and March; the forest floods and access roads can be difficult in the monsoon.
- Basic camping and forest-department accommodation exist nearby for those who want to stay overnight rather than do a single long day.

Planning a trip to Polo Forest
Polo Forest is about 3.5 hours via Himmatnagar, Idar and Vijaynagar. Leave early: the temples and the Harnav dam are spread through the forest on narrow roads, so plan the visit in daylight. October to March is the best time; in the monsoon the river rises and some tracks become hard to use.
