Location and neighbourhood

It is an industrial and residential district, home to the Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation estate and several manufacturing units. The area has a practical, workaday character. Wide roads carry trucks and commuters. There are a few local markets and basic eateries. For a business traveller, Naroda offers proximity to factories and offices without the congestion of the old city. The Sabarmati river is a few kilometres west. The neighbourhood is well connected by road, making it a convenient base for short work trips.

Getting there and around

Getting to Hotel Pratiksha is straightforward. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport is around 1.9 km south-west. Ahmedabad Junction station at Kalupur is around 7.8 km south-west. From the airport, take a prepaid taxi or app cab. From the station, auto-rickshaws and app cabs are available. The area is on the BRTS Janmarg network, with a stop near Naroda. AMTS city buses also serve the area. For local travel within Naroda, auto-rickshaws are the most convenient option. The Ahmedabad Metro does not yet reach Naroda; check the current network for the nearest station. Driving your own vehicle or hiring a cab for the day is common for business trips.

Nearby sights and food

The wider Ahmedabad attractions are a drive away from Naroda. The Sabarmati Ashram, where Gandhi lived from 1917 to 1930, is about 20 minutes south-west. The Sidi Saiyyed Mosque, famous for its carved stone jali windows, is in the old city. The Calico Museum of Textiles in Shahibaug requires a pre-booked guided tour. The Sabarmati Riverfront promenade and Atal Bridge are good for an evening walk. Kankaria Lake, a 15th-century lake with a zoo and amusement park, is about 20 minutes south. The Adalaj stepwell, five storeys deep, is about 30 minutes north. The Bhadra Fort and Jama Masjid are also within reach for a short visit.

For meals during a work trip, Naroda has simple restaurants and snack stalls. Look for places serving a Gujarati thali: a platter of dal, kadhi, vegetables, roti and rice. Dhokla, khaman, fafda and jalebi are common breakfast or snack items. Thepla is a good packed lunch option. Undhiyu, a winter vegetable dish, is available around Uttarayan. Law Garden's evening food stalls and the night food market in the old city are a drive away in central Ahmedabad. Most eateries are vegetarian, as Gujarat is a largely vegetarian state. Prohibition applies in Gujarat; check the current rules for alcohol permits.
