Ahmedabad trip planner

The state's commercial, if not political hub, Ahmedabad stands as a sprawling metropolis with some important historical sites. Split by a river into the UNESCO World Heritage listed old walled quarter and a new district, the city features a number of temples, mosques, and historical buildings, with the most visited among them relating to the life of Mahatma Gandhi, the Indian independence leader who began his famous walk against the salt tax here in 1930. Trips to Ahmedabad offer good insights into the traditional cuisine, dress, and folk art of Gujarati culture, with many popular restaurants, lively street food stalls, theaters, and art galleries.
