Tourism in Ahmedabad

Welcome to Ahmedabad: Heart of Gujarat

Ahmedabad, often referred to as the heart of Gujarat, is a city that seamlessly blends its rich cultural heritage with modern infrastructure. As the first city in India to be inscribed in UNESCO’s World Heritage City list in 2017, Ahmedabad offers a unique experience that combines an exploration of its history with the opportunity to savour its contemporary delights.

Cultural and Historical Architecture
Ahmedabad boasts of an impressive array of heritage sites reflecting its rich cultural past. The Sidi Saiyyed Mosque, known for its exquisite and intricately carved stone latticework windows (jali), is a prime example of Islamic architecture. The famous 'tree of life' motif carved into the jali is a must-see. Another architectural marvel is the Adalaj Stepwell, built in the 15th century. This stepwell showcases a beautiful fusion of Indo-Islamic architecture with intricate carvings on its pillars and a natural cooling system that keeps the water six degrees cooler than the prevalent temperature. The city's heritage precincts of Pols and traditional clusters from the medieval period offer a glimpse into Ahmedabad’s historical narrative, making it a haven for history enthusiasts.

Mughal Architectural Influence
Several areas in Ahmedabad, such as Laal-Darwaja, Ratan-Pod, and the vicinity of Relief Road, exhibit a strong Mughal architectural influence. These neighbourhoods are perfect locations for a leisurely stroll to appreciate the historical essence of Ahmedabad and the distinct charm of Mughal-era constructions that still stand tall in the city.

Modern Infrastructure
Ahmedabad is not just about the past; it is also a city that also provides a glimpse into the future. The Sabarmati Riverfront and Atal Bridge are modern projects that not only offer scenic views but are also ideal places for enjoying a relaxing walk along the river. The Sindhu Bhavan and Satellite areas, home to numerous corporations and multinational companies, reflect the city's rapid economic growth, juxtaposed in stark contrast to its traditional roots. Ahmedabad is also known as a paradise for food lovers, offering a diverse range of cuisines. For a taste of local specialties, Manek Chowk is the place to be. This bustling night market on Sindhu Bhavan Marg offers a variety of street food and traditional dishes, ensuring a delightful culinary experience. Additionally, the city boasts of a variety of international multi-cuisine restaurants that cater to every palate, making Ahmedabad a foodie's haven.

Tourism in Gujarat

Statue of Unity
The Statue of Unity, located 200 km from Ahmedabad, is the world's tallest statue, with a height of 182 metres. It is a memorial to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, India's first Home Minister. The statue is situated on an island near the Sardar Sarovar Dam. The area around the statue has other attractions, including an exhibition gallery, viewing gallery, the valley of flowers, a memorial, an audiovisual gallery, the Sardar Sarovar Dam, and river rafting and jungle safari options. With so many activities, a visit to the Statue is bound to be a fun-filled day trip with loads to do and see.

Polo Forest
The Polo Forest, located at a distance of 150 km from Ahmedabad, is a picturesque forested area with ancient Jain temples, a dam, and waterfalls. It is an ideal spot for trekking, cycling, riverside walks, and picnicking amidst lush green surroundings, especially during the monsoon season. The 1500-year-old Jain temple with intricate carvings is a highlight of the forest. Visitors can spend an entire day exploring the natural beauty and historical sites of Polo Forest.

Modhera Sun Temple and Rani ki Vav
The Modhera Sun Temple, located at a distance of 110 km from Ahmedabad, is an 11th century Hindu temple dedicated to the Sun God. It is known for its stunning architecture and elaborate carvings. Located nearby is Rani ki Vav, an 11th-century stepwell with intricately carved panels over seven levels of stairs. Both the temple and the stepwell are UNESCO World Heritage sites and visiting them makes for a fascinating day trip.

Nalsarovar Bird Sanctuary
Nalsarovar, located at a distance of 62 km from Ahmedabad, is Gujarat's largest wetland bird sanctuary. It is home to over 200 species of resident and migratory birds, especially during the winter months. Flamingos are a major attraction here. Visitors to the site can hire a guide for the day for exploring the sanctuary and surrounding plains to spot birds and other wildlife.
