Visit the beautiful Akshardham Temple that was built in 1992. Built on Vedic architectural principles, no steel or iron was used in the construction of this temple. Made of pink sandstone, the walls of the temple are beautifully carved. There are over 250 sculptures of Gods and Saints within the temple.

Only the central gateway and two minarets of the mosque survive. The Shaking Minarets are an architectural wonder. When one minaret is gently shaken, the other starts to vibrate.

The mosque is a symbol of the time when Gujarat prospered under Muslim rulers. Built in the Indo-Islamic style of architecture, the minarets and arched windows make it a photographer’s delight.

It is the only museum of its kind in the world. The extensive collection features utensils from over a thousand years ago. The display shows the evolution of utensils with our changing needs and environment. The range varies from leaves and jugs made from gourds to utensils in brass, copper, bronze, zinc and German silver.

The Kite Museum is situated inside the iconic Sankar Kendra building that was designed by the French architect, Le Corbusier. On display are over 125 rare and uniquely designed kites that showcase the history of kite making in Gujarat.

The ashram was home to Gandhi from 1917 to 1930. It is here that he carried out his experiments in farming, animal husbandry and Khadi (a hand-woven textile made popular by Gandhi). You can see the cottage where Gandhi lived. The ashram also has a museum with a paintings gallery

The construction of the temple provided a source of livelihood for hundreds of skilled artisans. The temple has two stories with an exquisitely designed dome shaped top.

At the end of the tour you will be dropped off at the airport for your onward flight. Onward flights departing from Ahmedabad must be after 7:00 p.m. Kindly Note : Hotel check out time 1200 Hours
