There is no dearth of places to visit in Ahmedabad, irrespective of personal tastes and preferences. From monuments - religious and historic - to sights of natural beauty, the city has a lot to offer. The most popular amongst an array of tourist places in Ahmedabad is the Sabarmati Ashram – Mahatma Gandhi’s residence and headquarters during his struggle for India’s independence. The Bhadra Fort, Jhulta Minar and Teen Darwaza are among monuments which combine the beauty of Hindu and Muslim architecture and take you back in time. The city is also dotted with several temples and mosques like the Shree Jagannath Temple and Jama Masjid which are exquisite, both in design and build. For natural and serene beauty, Ahmedbad boasts of the Kankaria and Chandola lakes, both of which were artificially built and currently serve as great places to visit with family and friends for a picnic or a relaxed outing.
