KABIRWAD
This famous place is on an island in the middle of Narmada River, and regular mechanized boats operate to and fro from the banks near the pilgrim town of Shuklatirth to Kabirwad. It is known for its gigantic Banyan Tree which covers a vast area and is believed to have grown when Saint Kabir lived here during the last many years, the roots of this enormous tree has spread to larger circumference, making it extremely shady where many varieties of birds have taken shelter. Now since many years there is an imposing Kabir Temple where worshippers come and is popular on weekends and holidays, when families, students and other groups visit for picnic and outing. There is also a shorter one and a half hour route to reach Kabirwad from Rajpipla by going in a boat on banks of River Narmada between Rajpardi and Jhagadia.
