Experience Ahmedabad in 2 Days

  1. Day 1: Ahmedabad's Heritage Walk
    10 minutes (3.4 km) from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport

    The Heritage Walk is an excellent starting point for exploring the city's rich history. We recommend starting the walk at the Swaminarayan Temple and ending at the Jama Mosque. Along the way, you'll see Bhadra Fort, Sidi Saiyyed Mosque, and Rani no Hajiro, a stunning mausoleum dedicated to Ahmedabad's queens. Take your time and appreciate the intricate carvings and architecture of these historical buildings. End your day with a visit to Manek Chowk, a famous market for delicious street food that caters to nocturnal people.

  2. Day 2: Ahmedabad's Modern Cityscape
    15 minutes (5.4 km) from the Jama Mosque

    Start your day with a visit to Sabarmati Ashram, where Mahatma Gandhi lived and preached his message of non-violence. Next, head to the Adalaj Stepwell, an impressive structure in the shape of an inverted temple. Afterward, visit the Calico Museum of Textiles, where you'll learn about the history and art of textile weaving in India. End your day with a trip to Kankaria Lake, a man-made lake with picturesque views and fun rides.

Useful Tips

If you have an extra day, we suggest taking a day trip to Modhera Sun Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the town of Patan, famous for its handloom sarees. If you have less time, prioritize the locations that interest you the most. Some areas are walkable, but we recommend using taxis or ridesharing to get around as traffic can be hectic. Lastly, always check opening times, as some places may be closed on certain days or holidays.
