Kamlam Park
A free, non-ticketed dragon fruit (Kamalam) nursery and horticultural education park — shaded walking trails and quiet benches away from the ticketed attractions.
A Dragon Fruit Park With a Lotus Name
Kamlam Park is a small dragon fruit nursery and horticultural education park, part of the newer cluster of attractions added to the Ekta Nagar complex. The name comes from "Kamalam" — the Gujarat government's official name for dragon fruit, chosen because the fruit's flower resembles a lotus (kamal). It stands out from almost everything else at Statue of Unity for one simple reason — there's no ticket at all. It isn't a headline attraction, and it isn't trying to be one — it's a genuinely useful stop to break up a long day, especially with kids who need to burn off energy or elderly family members who need a bench and some shade. Because entry is free, there's no pressure to "make it worth the ticket" — you can walk in for ten minutes or forty, whatever the day calls for.
