Frequently Asked Questions
Clear, verified answers to avoid on-ground surprises
What is the exact difference between Basic Entry, Viewing Gallery, and Express Entry?
Basic Entry Ticket (₹150 Adult / ₹90 Child): Allows entry to the monument campus base, Sardar Patel museum, Valley of Flowers, and campus bus transit. It does NOT include the elevator ride inside the statue.
Viewing Gallery Ticket (₹380 Adult / ₹230 Child): Includes campus entry plus the high-speed elevator ride to the 153-meter high chest viewing deck overlooking the Sardar Sarovar Dam (regular queue).
Express VIP Entry (₹1,030 Person): Grants priority fast-track elevator access with dedicated green lanes, skipping 60–120 minute weekend elevator queues. Essential for senior citizens and young kids.
Can we buy tickets offline at the Statue of Unity physical counter?
No. Physical ticket counters at the monument campus have been permanently abolished. All ticketing is 100% cashless and strictly online via soutickets.in or authorized concierge booking. Traveling to Kevadia without pre-booked tickets during peak seasons (Diwali, weekends, holidays) often leads to disappointment as daily visitor caps are strictly enforced.
Where can we store our luggage if arriving directly from the railway station or airport?
Safe, attended cloakrooms and luggage lockers are operated at Shrestha Bharat Bhavan (main parking hub) and Ekta Nagar Railway Station (EKNR). Heavy suitcases and trolley bags are strictly prohibited inside the Statue elevator and security zone. Visitors are only allowed to carry small handbags or baby care essentials.
What are the dining options? Are Pure Veg, Swaminarayan, and Jain meals available?
Outside cooked food is not permitted past security checkpoints. However, the campus houses two large air-conditioned food hubs: Ekta Food Court 1 and 2. They host trusted national brands including Amul, Honest, and Subway, along with dedicated kitchens serving 100% Pure Vegetarian Gujarati Thali, Kathiyawadi dishes, and authentic no-onion no-garlic Jain and Swaminarayan meals.
How does the campus electric bus system work? Do we have to pay for each ride?
No. The ₹50 campus bus pass (included automatically with Viewing Gallery and package tickets) provides unlimited hop-on/hop-off travel across all 18 Kevadia attractions from 8:00 AM to 8:30 PM. Air-conditioned electric shuttles run continuously every 5–10 minutes between the Main Parking, Ekta Mall, Statue Base, Valley of Flowers, and Dam Viewpoint.
Is the monument friendly for senior citizens? Are wheelchairs and golf carts available?
Yes, the campus is engineered for low physical exertion. A 350-meter shaded automatic travelator (moving walkway) connects the drop-off zone to the monument gates. Complimentary wheelchairs with attendants are available at Gate 1 for elderly guests and differently-abled visitors. High-speed elevators take visitors directly into the 153m viewing deck without climbing stairs.
What time does the Laser Show begin, and what is the best seating strategy?
The 3D Projection Laser Light & Sound Show begins daily at 7:30 PM (lasting 30 minutes). Gates open at 6:00 PM. Seating on the Helipad ground grandstands is strictly first-come, first-served. We strongly advise reaching the Helipad viewing stands by 6:15 PM – 6:30 PM to secure central unobstructed seats before large tour bus crowds arrive.
Is the Statue of Unity open on Mondays?
No. The Statue of Unity monument, observation gallery, and major official attractions are strictly CLOSED every Monday for scheduled heavy engineering maintenance and elevator safety inspections. Tuesday through Sunday, the campus operates normally from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM.
