Unwrap Ahmedabad’s vibrant soul in a Heritage Walking Tour
Known as the Manchester of India and celebrated as India’s first UNESCO World Heritage City, Ahmedabad is a fascinating blend of history, culture, and everyday charm. The best way to feel its pulse is on foot — wandering through bustling chowks, heritage havelis, and lively bazaars.
Start your morning with a steaming cup of chai as the city awakens, then make your way through its labyrinthine lanes. Pause at Manek Chowk, where the scent of fafda and jalebi lingers in the air, and watch the square transform from food haven to jewellery market as the day unfolds. Continue to the colourful Law Garden market, where handcrafted textiles and souvenirs showcase Gujarat’s artisanal spirit.
