Ahmedabad-Introduction
Welcome to Ahmedabadahmedabad1.jpg (2159 bytes)

One of the most liveliest cities in India. A visit to Ahmedabad is a great way to discover Gujarat.

Ahmedabad was built by Sultan Ahmed Shah to serve as his capital in 1411 A .D. While returning from one of his campaigns the young Sultan Ahmed Shah impressed with the scenic surroundings and climate of the town of Ashawal undertook the building of his new capital with a fort and twelve gates and named it Ahmedabad. While you can only see the ramparts of the 600 year old Bhadra fort, almost all the twelve gates with the exception of one have withstood the ravages of time and man.

If you have been to Ahmedabad before you will want to come again. If you are coming soon, Welcome. Ahmedabad has something for everyone. You will be glad you made it.

Variety is its fascination

From the hustle and bustle of C. G. Road in the heart of Ahmedabad to the quite retreat of Sabarmati Ashram. From the mute grandeur of the Shaking Minarets to the noisy prosperity of the country’s largest textile empires, Ahmedabad’s fascination is its variety. Old and new stand side by side. The modern and ecclectic mix with history and tradition offering something for everyone. There is nothing like a perfect time to visit Ahmedabad. Starting with Makar Sankranti’s kite flying in January, the masti continues only to peak at the nine day long Navratri with Dandiya and Ras Garba in November followed by the dazzle and glitter of Diwali festivities which last a whole month.

No matter what time of the year you come, there is so much to see and so much to do.
