Visiting the Statue of Unity during COVID19 Pandemic, December 2020 was a very different experience. I had previously visited SoU back in July 2019. As far as I remember, it was packed with people and the atmosphere was very alive compared to what I had experienced this time in December 2020.
Standard of Procedure was in place at the Statue of Unity. A limited number of people are allowed to visit on any given day. There is no chance of overcrowding.
You can see in the video below, there aren't many people around.
The pandemic of 2020. Countries shut their borders and restrictions were put into place, tourist destinations took a hit. Places were shut down indefinitely, later public places opened up with SOP in place.
Should you visit Statue of Unity during Pandemic? Oh. Yes! Absolutely. Without a doubt. You do not need to worry about anything.
Here is how the Statue of Unity looked like during December 2020:
By looking at the above photos you can already tell that very few people are around. I had visited around 11:30 AM. Yes people did show up as time passed but it wasn't crowded at all.
Road Conditions
I was travelling via road from Surat which is located 150KM from the world's tallest statue, the experience was pretty good leaving out a few bad patches of road which were under construction.
Back in 2019, road conditions were much more better than in December 2020. It wasn't up to my expectations.
