Location and neighbourhood

Naroda lies in the north-east of Ahmedabad, on the road to Himmatnagar. It is an industrial and residential district, with wide roads and a practical, unglamorous character. Factories and housing colonies sit side by side. The area has its own railway station on the Ahmedabad–Himmatnagar line. For a first-time visitor, Naroda is a base for reaching the city's main sights rather than a destination in itself. The Sabarmati river is several kilometres west. The walled city and most monuments are a drive away. You will need transport for almost everything.

The streets of Naroda are busy during working hours. Auto-rickshaws and app-based cabs are the usual way to get around. The Naroda railway station connects to Ahmedabad Junction and other suburban stations. BRTS and AMTS bus routes serve the main roads. The nearest metro station is on the Blue Line, a short ride from the area. Traffic can be heavy at peak times. Plan journeys with some extra time. The area has basic shops and eateries for daily needs. For a wider choice of food and entertainment, you will head towards the centre or other neighbourhoods.

From Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, Naroda is around 1.9 km. The drive takes about half an hour, depending on traffic.

Check the current metro and bus routes before you travel, as services change.

Nearby sights and food

Jama Masjid, Sidi Saiyyed Mosque with its carved stone jali windows, and Bhadra Fort are in the old centre, a drive from Naroda. Sabarmati Ashram, where Gandhi lived from 1917 to 1930, is on the west bank of the river. The Calico Museum of Textiles requires a booked guided tour. Kankaria Lake, a 15th-century artificial lake with gardens and a zoo, is closer to the centre. Adalaj stepwell, five storeys deep and completed in 1498, is north of the city.

Naroda has basic eateries serving Gujarati snacks and meals. You will find dhokla, khaman, fafda and jalebi at small shops and stalls. For a proper Gujarati thali, you need to go to the central or western parts of the city. The evening food stalls near the old city are a drive away. Street food is common: khandvi, thepla and samosas are available locally. Most places are vegetarian, as is standard across Gujarat. For a wider variety, head towards the university area or the riverfront.
