The Helical Stepwell, also known as the Champaner Stepwell, is a magnificent architectural wonder located in Champaner, Gujarat, India. This ancient stepwell is a fine example of Indian craftsmanship and water conservation methods from centuries ago. The Helical Stepwell has a unique geometrical structure different from other stepwells, due to its spiral staircase that descends into the earth. It is a part of the Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The stepwell provided a cool sanctuary and a consistent water supply during arid periods. It is constructed of stone with exquisite carvings, significant both for its historical value and its utility in water management. The stepwell has a deep cylindrical shaft, around which the helical staircase winds downwards, allowing access to the water at various levels. Despite the wear of time, the Helical Stepwell still captures the imagination of visitors with its intricate design and the reflection of its history in the still waters at its base.

Very difficult to spot

You will miss it unless you have a guide. Goes to show how advance knowledge the people of those times possessed which was lost with the tide of time.
