Location and neighbourhood

This long road is a central artery of west Ahmedabad. Government offices, corporate headquarters and hotels line the avenue. The riverfront promenade is a short walk east. From here you can cross Atal Bridge into the walled city. The area is a base for exploring both modern Ahmedabad and the historic pols. The road is broad and lined with trees. It feels calm compared to the old city. You are well placed for cultural and historical walks in both directions.

The road's northern end leads to Sabarmati Ashram, where Gandhi lived from 1917 to 1930. The southern stretch passes near Sidi Saiyyed Mosque and the riverfront. The walled city's pols, with carved havelis and chabutaras, are across the river. The area connects you to Ahmedabad's layered history, from Sultanate monuments to modern architecture by Le Corbusier and Louis Kahn. Walking is the best way to absorb the city's character.
