Wilson Hills

Wilson Hills is a hill station located in Kaprada Taluka of Valsad District, Gujarat, about 27 km from Dharampur and 60 km from Valsad town. Situated at an altitude of around 750 metres in the Sahyadri range, it is the only hill station near the south Gujarat coast. Developed during the British period and named after Lord Wilson, it is known for its forested slopes, viewpoints like Marble Chhatri and Sunset Point, and panoramic views of the surrounding valleys.

Visitors can expect a forested hilltop plateau with open viewpoints offering panoramic valley views, especially at Marble Chhatri Point and Sunset Point. The area is covered with dense deciduous forest and provides cool, quiet surroundings. Visitors can explore viewpoints, walk along forest roads, enjoy sunrise and sunset views, see seasonal waterfalls in monsoon, and stay at the forest guest house. Facilities are basic with small food stalls and parking areas.

Developed as a hill retreat during the British colonial period and named after Lord Leslie Wilson, Governor of Bombay (1923-1928). The Marble Chhatri at the summit is a memorial structure from that era. It served as a summer retreat for British officials due to its relatively cooler climate.

Located in the tribal belt of south Gujarat inhabited by Warli and other tribal communities. The surrounding villages and forests reflect local tribal culture and the area is promoted as an eco-tourism and nature retreat for visitors from Gujarat and Maharashtra.
