Location and neighbourhood

East Ahmedabad is the residential and industrial side of the city, stretching from Maninagar in the south through Naroda and Nikol to Vastral in the north-east. The area is quieter than the walled city and has a practical, lived-in feel. Kankaria Lake, a 15th-century artificial lake with a promenade, garden and zoo, is a major landmark. Maninagar is a busy commercial and residential hub. Naroda and Vastral are newer suburbs with wide roads and apartment blocks. The Sabarmati Riverfront does not extend into this part of the city. The area is well connected by the Blue Line of the Ahmedabad Metro, which runs east-west from Vastral Gam to Thaltej.
