Ahmedabad

Ahmedabad, on the banks of the Sabarmati River, beautifully blends old-world charm with a fast-growing metro vibe. The city is closely associated with Mahatma Gandhi; Sabarmati Ashram, his former residence and the starting point of the Dandi March, is still a serene reminder of India’s freedom struggle.In the old city, pols (traditional neighbourhoods), carved havelis and centuries-old mosques turn every walk into a heritage trail. Manek Chowk changes character through the day – from jewellery market to late-night street-food hub. Iconic stepwells like Adalaj and modern landmarks such as Atal Foot Over Bridge on the riverfront, Science City and Kankaria Lakefront make Ahmedabad interesting for both families and young travellers. Well-connected by flights, trains and highways, it is also the entry point for many Gujarat circuits – Kutch, Saurashtra, Patan–Modhera, Statue of Unity and more. Whether you are here for architecture, history, food or festivals like Navratri, Ahmedabad works perfectly as both a standalone city break and a base for exploring the rest of the state.
