Tourist Attractions in Ahmedabad
Gandhi Ashram: Also known as the Sabarmati Ashram, this carefully preserved riverside complex was home to Mahatma Gandhi and his wife Kasturba Gandhi from 1917 to 1930. This was the epicentre of the Indian freedom movement, and from here Gandhi launched the famous 241-mile Dandi march to protest the taxing of Indian salt to promote sales of British salt to India. Today it is a fascinating open air museum with regular events and talks.
Adalaj Stepwell: 19km from city centre, you’ll find this magnificent five level step well covered in intricate carvings. Built in both Hindu and Muslim styles, the well was built by Mohammed Begda in 1498. Legend has it that Begda killed the man who started building the well, Rana Veer Singh, a Hindu ruler, and attempted to marry his widow, Rani Roopda. She agreed to marry him only if the well was completed but once it was finished, she threw herself into the well to die. We recommend that you book a tour with a guide to get the most out of your visit.
Sarkhej Roza mosque: On the outskirts of the city, you’ll find Sarkhej Roza, a stunning mosque decorated in the ancient Islamic style. Built in 1451, the complex has been compared to the Acropolis of Athens due its size and beauty. This is the final resting place of Saint Ahmed Khattu Ganj Baksh, Sultan Mahmud Begada and his family – you can visit their tombs with a tour of the mosque.
