Location and neighbourhood

East Ahmedabad is the residential and industrial side of the city, stretching from Maninagar through Naroda, Nikol and Vastral. First-time visitors often stay here for its quieter streets and direct access to Kankaria Lake. The area has a lived-in feel, with local markets, wide roads and a mix of old and new housing. You are on the east bank of the Sabarmati, away from the walled city's dense lanes. This part of Ahmedabad is well connected by metro and bus, making it a practical base for sightseeing. The neighbourhoods are less touristy, which means you experience everyday Ahmedabad life more directly.
