Location and neighbourhood

It feels quieter than the dense pols across the river. Wide streets and mature trees give it a calm, open character that suits families with children. The Sabarmati river is close by, and the riverfront promenades are a short walk or auto ride away. Children can run on the grass or watch the boats. The area has several parks and open spaces where kids can play safely. You will find fewer crowds here than in the old city. The pace is slower, making it easier to manage a day out with young ones.

Shahibaug sits on the west bank of the Sabarmati, opposite the walled city. Its residential lanes are lined with bungalows and gardens. The Calico Museum of Textiles is the main cultural draw, but the neighbourhood itself is pleasant for strolling. Auto-rickshaws are easy to flag down, and the roads are wide enough for cycle rickshaws. For families, the streets are less congested than in the old city, which makes walking easier. You can walk from Hotel Avadh Palace to several attractions without crossing heavy traffic. The area feels safe and unhurried, a good base for exploring Ahmedabad with children.
