What Nalsarovar is
Nalsarovar is Gujarat's large wetland bird sanctuary and a Ramsar-listed site, known for migratory birds in winter and for being one of the biggest natural lakes in the region. It sits in the broader lowland belt of Ahmedabad district, in the same general geography as the Bhal region around Dholera, though on a different route. It is a nature and day-trip landmark, not part of the SIR. Reported
Relationship to Dholera
For a Dholera reader, Nalsarovar is context rather than a project: it signals the wetland, tidal-flat character of this part of Gujarat, which is also why drainage and the Coastal Regulation Zone are real planning factors for the SIR. Exact travel distance depends on the specific start and route, so verify it for your trip rather than relying on a rounded figure. Reported
This article follows Dholerapedia's sourcing standard: every figure is tagged Confirmed (government or official), Reported (press or trade) or Unverified (broker), and dated. Anything framed as a future event is labelled a target until a government source confirms it. Where a fact is not reliably available, we say so rather than estimate. See the methodology.

This is a reference, so it is written to be checked rather than believed. Each figure is marked Confirmed when a government or official record says it, Reported when the press or trade said it, and Unverified when only a seller says it. Each one carries a date, because Dholera keeps moving and a number that was right last year may not be right now. Anything still in the future is written as a target until a government source confirms it happened, and where a fact is not reliably available we say so instead of guessing.
None of this is legal, tax or investment advice, and no government source promises that land here will rise in value. If you are looking at one specific plot, treat everything on this page as background and confirm that parcel's own GUJRERA registration, title and price yourself before you pay. If a figure here has gone out of date, tell us on the contact page and we will correct it.
