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.

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.

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.

During this season, you are likely to get plenty of roasted and boiled corn in the streets and stalls.
