Location and neighbourhood

Shahibaug is a leafy neighbourhood in north Ahmedabad, north of the old walled city. It feels quieter and greener than the dense pols across the river. The area is known for its wide, tree-lined roads and a relaxed pace. First-time visitors find it a good base for sightseeing. The Calico Museum of Textiles is here, and the Hutheesing Jain temple is a short walk away. Sabarmati Ashram and the old city are also close. Shahibaug has a mix of old bungalows and newer apartment blocks. It is a residential area with a few local shops and small eateries. The Sabarmati Riverfront is within reach for an evening stroll.

The area's main draw is the Calico Museum, which requires a booked guided tour. The Hutheesing Jain temple, built in 1848, is a white marble structure with fine carvings. Dada Harir stepwell is nearby, as is the Sabarmati Ashram. The old city's heritage walk starts at Teen Darwaza and goes through the pols. Sidi Saiyyed Mosque, with its stone jali windows, is also close. Shahibaug offers a calm, convenient base for exploring these sights.
