Yet
again I’m here to share you one of my travel experiences at India, the multi ethnic
nation. From 10th to
19th March I've visited Ahmedabad the biggest city of Gujarat, a
state in Western India.
Ahmedabad is divided into two parts.
Firstly the old city lies on the east side of the Sabarmati River while the new
city is at the west side of the river with wider streets, several major
universities, and many middle-class neighborhoods. Emerged as an important economic and
industrial hub in India, Ahmedabad is
the 6th largest city of India. Ahmedabad is a hot semi dry city where beginning the day hanging out at the Sabarmati
riverfront is absolutely blissful. The cuisine of Ahmedabad is a blend of several flavors. Ahmedabad cuisine mainly
consists of vegetarian dishes. However, non-vegetarian delicacies are also
available in the restaurants. The meals of this city usually consist of
rice, bread, rotli and vegetable curry where an extensive level of ghee
is used to prepare the dishes. There are various means of transport in
Ahmedabad, so getting around in the city is very easy. In Ahmedabad, you can hire the
private taxis for your transportation needs within the city while for short
distances, people prefer rickshaws. Auto is easily available and
auto guy will not able to cheat you because meter is strictly enforced. When it comes to public transportation in Ahmedabad, buses
are the most common mean of transport used by people. Due to so many
cloth mills in this city, Ahmedabad is known as the most popular shopping
destination of the state with a broad variety of Items with a plenty of
shopping malls. There are number of interesting places to see in and around the city
like splendid monuments, wonderful museums and gorgeous lakes. One of
the most popular tourist spot of Ahmedabad is Sabarmati Ashram, a museum about life and work of former
Indian leader, Mahatma Gandhi. During my visit to Ahmedabad I also made a one
day visit to Gandhinagar, the capital of
the state of Gujarat. Gandhinagar which is regarded as the modernized
twin city of Ahmedabad is situated about 25 kilo meters from Ahmedabad. Known
for its colourful culture and delicious authentic Gujarati food, Akshardham
Temple is the most popular tourist attraction in the city.
According to my experience, the people of Ahmedabad are one of the sweetest
& most friendly people you’ll come across in India. Ahmedabad is also known
as one of the safest cities in India where you can roam around without fear
even in the latest hours of midnight. In a country like India where people are
so desperate to ruin their surroundings, I could agree that this city is one of
the cleanest cities which I’ve visited so far in India.
