Statue of Unity Viewing Gallery
About
The highlight of the Statue of Unity is the viewing gallery located inside the statue’s chest at 153 metres, reached by two high speed elevators that rise swiftly through the massive structure. At this remarkable Statue of Unity height level, the glass fronted gallery provides sweeping 360 degree views of the Narmada river, the Sardar Sarovar Dam, and the distant Satpura and Vindhya hills. Visitors often complete their Statue of Unity booking in advance to secure entry to this popular attraction, especially on weekends and holidays. For those planning travel, the Statue of Unity distance from Ahmedabad is roughly 200 km, and the Statue of Unity nearest railway station at Kevadia offers convenient rail connectivity.
