Ahmedabad Self-Guided Walking Tour, Ahemdabad, India
India鈥檚 5th largest city, Ahmedabad is the focal point of Gujarat state. Ideally located on the route between Mumbai and Rajasthan, the city does not see the same levels of tourism as these popular hotspots but it has plenty to offer to visitors. Founded in the early 1400s by the Sultan of Gujarat, Ahmed Shah I, it has served as an administrative centre and major regional hub for centuries. Ahmedabad has played a key role in India鈥檚 recent history due to its association with Mahatma Gandhi, while the atmospheric and wildly chaotic old town provides a classic north Indian experience if you鈥檙e brave enough!
Ahmedabad is broadly split into two sections 鈥� the old town to the east and the more modern developments to the west, with the Sabarmati River flowing through the centre.
