Destination Overview

In 1411 AD Ahmedabad was established and named after it’s founder Sultan Ahmad Shah. It is now the largest city in the state of Gujarat with over six million inhabitants. The Sabarmati River runs through its centre and separates the new and old city.

Ahmedabad attracts all sorts of visitors from plain tourists to traders and even archaeologists. The city’s mix of old and new world captivates all who visit its palaces, museums, temples and neighbourhoods.

Whether you are a historian or just a tourist, everyone can enjoy Ahmedabad’s history. The city has a rich history that embodies Hinduism, colonisation and independence. A holiday to Ahmedabad is not complete without a visit to Gandhi’s former headquarters in Sabarmati Ashram. Ghandi’s Ashram is where he started his march for independence. Here you can learn about India’s struggle for independence and Gandhi’s key role as a freedom fighter. You can also head to the Calico Museum to learn more about the history or this beautiful city. This Museum houses some of the finest collections of antique and modern Indian designs. Another significant place to visit while on holiday in Ahmedabad is the Akshardham Temple, 30 km away from Gandhinagar.

Ahmedabad is full of people who appreciate their culture and history. No expense is spared during these festivals and they will definitely leave you in awe and with memories of a lifetime. Everything, from the nine day long extravaganza of the Nine Nights Festival to the Kite Flying Festival. Each festival in Ahmedabad is exciting, different and full of stories gone by. You could either pass your time participating in the exotic Gujarati dances or enjoy the mouth watering delicacies that resonate with the vibrant Ahmedabad culture. Even though Gujarat has over 2,000 festivals in a year, you will find the International Kite Festival especially interesting. Thousands of homemade kites and tons of local delicacies like Undhiyu and Jalebi light up the festival. The festival comes just before summer kicks in and is a celebration of the forthcoming harvest season. It is so significant to the extent that over 42 countries participated in the competition and feasting. Planning your holiday in Ahmedabad to coincide with one of the many festivals is a must. 

Ahmedabad is actually famous for producing dancers that go on to star in film and television. Your holiday will not be complete until you visit one of the dance studios and learn a classic Indian dance. This can range from Bollywood, belly dancing, hip hop to classical Ahmedabad dance styles like Dandiya Raas, Garba, Garbi and Padhar dances which can be quite intense. Everything in Ahmedabad can be celebrated through song and dance. So why not try Dandiya Raas, which gives you a chance to fan your blooming romance while the Garba is a dance that celebrates mother nature and her gifts to India.

The easiest way to get to Ahmedabad is by air. The city is linked to all the larger cities in India by air. You can jet in from Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, Goa or Jaipur. The airport is 10 kilometres from the city so you might have to hire a taxi, rickshaw, cab or catch one of the tourist buses to get into town. You could also catch a train from some of the bigger cities. The railway station to the East of the city links you to the elaborate train network service by superfast trains that feature anything from standard to high luxury coaches. The last option for your holiday in Ahmedabad would be using the inter-state bus services. The four or two-lane highways are well maintained. You can alternatively rent a car or travel using the private high luxury buses.

If you want to make the most of your Ahmedabad holidays then you need to plan ahead and consider the weather and festival dates.

Ahmedabad experiences hot temperatures throughout the year. The seasons are monsoon, which is from July to September, winter from November to February and summer march to June.

Although you can enjoy your Holidays in India whenever you want, the temperatures in March to June may range between 44 and 47 degrees in this summer season. If you are not use to such high temperatures then you might find yourself not wanting to leave the hotel air conditioning. Even the local people tend to stay indoors to avoid sunburn or heat stroke. If you are interested in the Kite Flying Festival, you might want to jet in just as summer starts.

If you want to experience the Hindu festivals, it would be advisable to visit India during the Monsoon season. One of the best monsoon festivals is Raksha Bandhan. This rainy season start in July and ends in September. But don’t be put off. The rain is not constant and usually finishes mid afternoon. During this season, you are likely to get plenty of roasted and boiled corn in the streets and stalls.

If you want the perfect Ahmedabad holiday, then the best time to go would be in the winter season. Temperatures during this time may go as low as 4 degrees Celsius and to a maximum of 25 degrees Celsius. Nature is at its best at this time with all the flowers in bloom and the area looking very lush and green.
