Sabarmati Ashram is about 7.2 km away. Lal Darwaza and Bhadra Fort in the old city centre are about 7.1 km. The airport is about 13 km away, and Ahmedabad Junction railway station is about 9.1 km.

Location and neighbourhood

Couples find it relatively quiet in the evenings. The neighbourhood has a clean, planned layout. A few old banyan trees and small temples remain among the new towers. The area is a base for business travellers and for visitors who prefer a calmer setting after exploring the city. From Hotel Serenity, you can step out for a stroll on the tree-lined avenues.

Bodakdev's location on SG Highway places it near several corporate hubs and shopping centres. The district has a modern, orderly feel with wide footpaths and well-maintained roads. It is a contrast to the narrow, crowded lanes of the walled city. Many expatriates and professionals choose to stay here. The area has a mix of high-rise apartments and independent houses. Small parks and chabutaras, the traditional bird-feeders, are scattered around. The pace of life is relaxed. Hotel Serenity sits in this setting, offering easy access to both business and leisure destinations.

Getting there and around

From Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, 13 km away, a taxi takes about 30 to 40 minutes depending on traffic. Ahmedabad Junction at Kalupur is 9.1 km east of Bodakdev; you can take a taxi or an auto-rickshaw for the journey. The Sabarmati Riverfront is about 20 minutes by car. BRTS buses run along SG Highway, and app-based cabs are easy to find. The nearest metro station on the Blue Line is a short auto ride away. Walking is pleasant on the wide pavements, though you will need transport for most destinations. From Hotel Serenity, you can arrange a taxi for day trips or use ride-hailing apps for shorter journeys.

Nearby sights and food

Gujarat Science City is a short drive south, with a large aquarium and an IMAX theatre. The Calico Museum of Textiles in Shahibaug requires a booked guided tour; it holds one of the finest textile collections in India. Sabarmati Ashram, Gandhi's home from 1917 to 1930, is a calm riverside museum with free entry. The Sidi Saiyyed Mosque near the old city is famous for its stone jali windows. For modern architecture, the Indian Institute of Management campus by Louis Kahn is worth a visit if you arrange access in advance. The walled city's pols, with carved wooden havelis and chabutaras, are a short taxi ride away.

Bodakdev has many vegetarian restaurants serving Gujarati thali, a platter of dal, kadhi, vegetables, roti and rice. Dhokla, khandvi and thepla are common snacks. Evening food stalls appear on side streets, selling pav bhaji, bhel puri and fresh sugarcane juice. For a sweet finish, try jalebi or shrikhand. The old city's night food market has a wide range of street food. Law Garden's evening stalls are another option for a casual meal. Most places are vegetarian, as the city largely follows a vegetarian diet. You can also find South Indian and North Indian options in the neighbourhood.

A day from Hotel Serenity

A day from Hotel Serenity can start with a walk along the Sabarmati Riverfront, then a visit to Sabarmati Ashram to see Gandhi's simple quarters and the museum. From there, take a taxi to the Calico Museum of Textiles for the morning guided tour. After lunch in the Bodakdev area, head to the Sidi Saiyyed Mosque to see the stone jali windows. Spend late afternoon at the Sabarmati Riverfront again, crossing Atal Bridge on foot. In the evening, explore the night food stalls at Law Garden or the old city's market. Return to Hotel Serenity by taxi or auto-rickshaw. The day mixes history, architecture and local food without rushing. You can also include a stop at the Gujarat Science City if time allows.
