Shri Narendra Modi inaugurated the Maze Garden, Miyawaki Forest and additional tourist attractions in his home state of Gujarat.

The three-acre Maze Garden is India’s largest maze garden. In addition, it has a 2,100-metre path.  Ekta Houseboat is the area’s sole houseboat rental company. 

Miyawaki Forest draws from Japanese botanist Dr Akira Miyawaki’s plantation method. This method grows forests ten times faster and thirty times denser. 

The Prime Minister’s ambition is to give visitors a holistic experience.

Key facts!
