BEST UNEXPLORED PLACES TO VISIT IN

AHMEDABAD.

 

 

 

Ahmedabad, the state capital of Gujarat, was founded in the 15th century. The city is a thriving business sector as well as a growing hub for education, information technology, and scientific research. The city is divided into two parts: the ancient city and the new city, and it offers a variety of moods, from the hustle and bustle of C.G. Road in Ahmedabad's core to the quiet retreat of the Sabarmati Ashram. Ahmedabad has a vibrant cultural legacy, as it is the epicenter of Gujarati community activities and different cultural and ethnic traditions.

Ahmedabad, or Amdavad as Gujaratis call it, is a city that conjures up images of joy, laughter, chaniya cholis, and the taste of gathiyas and undhiyu.  Since Sultan Ahmed Shah conceived and constructed Ahmedabad, the city has seen constant change. But one thing that has remained constant over the years is the city's passion for enjoying life and preserving its past through its architectural marvels.

Though many of the attractions within the city are well-known and well-visited by tourists who have their own vehicle or hire a car in Ahmedabad from a car rental service provider to make their visit more pleasant, there are a few unpopular places in and around Ahmedabad which are not known by many. Here is a list to get you started if you, too, want to avoid the regular tourist crowds and explore some of the areas that aren't as well-known on the list of famous places to visit.

                                                                         

OFFBEAT PLACES TO VISIT IN AHMEDABAD.

 

1.    JAWHAR.

Jawhar is amongst the most under-visited tourist destinations around Ahmedabad. The waterfalls in this area are just as breathtaking as the hiking trails.

 

2.    TORANMAL.

This hill station near Ahmedabad will present you with a scenic splendour that is difficult to match. Everything about this place is worth seeing, from tranquil lakes to deep forests and spectacular waterfalls. Yashwant Lake, Khadki Point, Sunset Point, and other sites may be visited while at Toranmal.

 

3.    AMDAVAD NI GUFA.

This is essentially an art gallery built in the shape of a dome. Tortoise shells and soap bubbles served as inspiration. When you're in town, you should stop by to observe the interior walls, which were painted by renowned artist M.F. Hussain. B.V. Doshi designed Amdavad Ni Gufa, which is a mix of modern and traditional architecture. While making plans to visit this site, keep in mind that it is closed on Mondays and all public holidays.

 

4.    POLS.

The small streets of the old city are known as pols. While you're in this area of town, stop by the Jethabhai Haveli to see the modest toy museum, which houses a collection of antique toys and miniature kites dating back to the 1800s. You may even come across several businesses selling relics, curios, handicrafts, and hand weaves in the region.

 

5.    BHADRA FORT.

Another fort in Ahmedabad's city limits is this one. Although much has changed in this fort, the castle walls with eight gates and fourteen bastion towers may still be seen. The well-known Teen Darwaza, which is presently used as a road crossing by city residents, is located just outside the fort.

 

6.    WILSON HILLS.

From the peak, you can see the Arabian Sea, making this one of the most unusual hill stations in the country. If you want to go hiking as well, this is the spot to go.

 

7.    VASTRAPUR LAKE.

This man-made Vastrapur Lake, located in the city's eponymous region, is one of the best spots to spend your evenings in Ahmedabad. Spending relaxing hours on its banks, appreciating the nature all around, is a peaceful experience. Throughout the year, the open-air theatre here hosts a variety of cultural plays that you may visit to get a look into Gujarat's vibrant traditions.

 

8.    KANKARIA LAKE.

Kankaria Lake, the city's largest body of water, has fascinated Ahmedabad residents and visitors alike for many years. It was created in the fifteenth century by Sultans Muhammad Shah and Ahmed Shah II, and it featured an in-built water purifying system because it was where most kings of the time bathed. A zoo, a children's city, toy trains, a water park with a variety of rides, and food booths have all been built along the lake's edge. This is an excellent spot for a day picnic, followed by a stroll around the lakeside. Enjoy your meals at Nagina Wadi, a garden-themed food vendor area serving mouth-watering Gujarati cuisine.

 

 Ahmedabad's wide urban region offers a diverse range of lodging options. Rental hotels, basic family-run guesthouses, budget friendly Hourly Rooms - hotel rooms which will charge you only for the hours you stayed are found all across the city, with more established options closer to the river and the suburbs giving the most cost-effective options.
