Hey All,
I have my close ok not close but very close family members visiting Ahmedabad sometime at the end of this month, September 2024. I want to make this visit of theirs a memorable one, and hence I have come up with a 15-day travel itinerary plan covering in and around areas of Ahmedabad. To be honest, I am not a permanent resident of Ahmedabad or a native Gujarati by birth, but having lived here for quite some time now to be precise more than 3 Years. I feel connected and deeply rooted in the local culture. This sense of belonging makes me excited to share the city’s rich experiences with my family members. I want them to have a relaxing experience that is full of fun, excitement, and cultural exploration. My goal is to balance adventure with relaxation, ensuring they enjoy every moment while discovering the best that Ahmedabad and its surroundings have to offer. The most difficult part when we travel to a place is planning an itinerary, so it's important to ensure it balances sightseeing, relaxation, and flexibility to accommodate random plans that emerges out of a discussion over a tea or coffee.
At the same time a well-thought-out itinerary helps avoid confusions around which places to visit, stress and ensures that ONE make the most of their trip without feeling overwhelmed or exhausted. Well, without further ado, let’s get going with the Ahmedabad Diaries – the 15-day travel itinerary plan that I’ve created for my dear ones. So here we go with the Day 4th, 5th & 6th plan where we visit the renowned Science City which is a project by the Gujarat government and is designed to make science interesting and engaging for everyone through fun activities and hands-on experiences. My favorite was the Aquatic Gallery @ Science City..so lets see if the folks like it there or NOT...
On day 7th we have my son LAKSH Birthday bash party along with the start of Navratri festival that begins on Thursday, October 3, 2024 and end on Saturday, October 12, 2024 with the celebration of Vijaya Dasami. On day 8th we plan to visit Auto World Vintage Car Museum which is one of the biggest personal collections of vintage cars, bikes, buggies and utility vehicles going to be a fascinating experience seeing these beauties and capturing them..FYI.. for sure I will be sharing the pictures of Vintage Cars in one of my proceeding blogs. So stay tuned.....
A trip is not completed until you visit a famous temple around your area. This is for the first time that we would be going to this famous temple which is known by the name The Ambaji Temple in Gujarat, India, has a history that dates back several centuries so would love to get the blessings.
10th, 11th and 12th Days are kept to experience the Garba and Dandiya Night celebrations. We have dinner planned outside along with late night movies and visit to the Kanakaria lake and the zoo nearby it. The 13th, 14th and 15th day are dedicated to shopping, visiting local markets, experiencing the NIGHT Life here in Ahmedabad and we do plan to visit the famous Iskon temple on day 14th September 2024...
Finally I am 100% sure that this journey of theirs is going to be packed with visits to some incredible destinations as mentioned above like Science City, Akshardham Temple at Gandhinagar capital of Gujarat which is like 1 hour drive from Ahmedabad, Kamla Nehru Zoological Garden established in 1951, that is situated on the outer periphery of Kankaria Lake and spread over an area of 117 acres experiencing the rich culture of Gujarat, especially the vibrant nightlife and the unforgettable Navaratri celebrations. Finally, there is going to a lot of family time, chit chats, indoor/outdoor games and plenty of opportunities for relaxation to ensure a memorable and a cherishable trip. Before I end this post, I want to give a heartfelt welcome to dear Munia, Sorabh, and Runjhun. We look forward to spending time together and making wonderful memories during your visit....
