The Statue of Unity is easiest to enjoy when it receives a full sightseeing day. The wider Kevadia area contains more than the main monument, so trying to squeeze the visit between two long road transfers often makes the experience unnecessarily tiring.
Vadodara is a convenient base and also gives travellers the opportunity to visit Laxmi Vilas Palace and selected city attractions.
