Overview
One of the biggest cities across India, Ahmedabad separates old and new by the clear waters of the Sabarmati River. To the east of the river lie remnants of the city’s past: 15 gates of the 6-mile wall that once guarded the former capital of the state of Gujarat. To the west, updated infrastructure, modern structures and rich culture reflect the newer identity of the city - the fastest growing cities across India.
Home to the vast array of ethnicities and religious communities, Ahmedabad is a dynamic melting pot that keeps visitors on their toes. One of the must-visit sites along this vein is Sabarmati Ashram, founded by Mahatma Gandhi. Through the lively festivals held in this beautiful city is a perfect way to experience Indian culture. Two of the most famous annual festivals comprise of the International Kite Festival, held in January, and Navratri, a nine-night festival filled with folk dancing.
As evenings descend, locals come to the streets to enjoy food and socialize - but they are used to enjoying without alcohol. As a matter of fact, alcohol is forbidden here, but it seems libations are hardly required for the locals to have a great time after dark. The city square of Manek Chowk transforms into a hip street food bazaar at night, where travellers can indulge in some of the most authentic Indian flavours with plenty of good company.
