Activities in Ahmedabad (Amdavad)
-
Municipal Corporation
The Municipal Corporation runs fascinating heritage walking tours through the old city. They start from the Swaminarayan Temple in Kalupur at 8am and finish near the Jama Masjid around 10.30am. It’s advisable to book. The tours, through narrow, confusing streets and past dilapidated, carved wooden houses, are an excellent way to get a feel for the city and its pols (gated neighbourhoods). Commentaries are given in English and there’s a brief slide show beforehand.

A
Audio Guide Walk
The Municipal Corporation has collaborated with the House of MG to develop an ingenious audio guide walk. Beginning at the famed hotel, this 80-minute MP3-guided walk takes an alternative route through the Old City, ending at the Bholantah Divetia Haveli. This carefully restored, finely carved house is now a museum, shop and cafe rolled into one.
