A Different Gateway To Ahmedabad!

Home Stays – A heart of traveler is where the locals are. Walled city of Ahmedabad has lot to offer be it dwelling in heritage bungalow in old city or just visiting it as a part of heritage walk. Some of these not so popular but close to an artist’s mind are Arts Reverie, The Mehta Family or one unknown we recently came across in the new part of the city. Suitable to shoestring budget, these houses are more than home where one can engage in learning local language, cooking and maybe how to feel being Gujarati or cool. Tariff starts from 2,500/- per night.

Do you want to flush and laugh? Seems crazy, isn’t it? Toilet Garden is lot different to our sensibilities and a great initiative to uphold hygiene in an innovative way.

We, Ahmedabad’s popular rickshaw walla serves travel with zero meters in his artistically designed wheels. The walled city tour ended with pay from your heart.
