Overview
Ahmedabad At A Glance
Ahmedabad became India's first UNESCO World Heritage City in 2017. Its old quarter holds pols: narrow streets of carved wood havelis. The lanes stay shaded and quiet. The Adalaj stepwell drops five floors down. Stone pillars line its walls, carved in fine detail. Mahatma Gandhi's ashram once stood on the Sabarmati riverbank here. It is still open to visitors today.
