Ahmedabad

When to Visit:


Summers in Ahemdabad are a real scorcher. Summer starts by Mid-March and lasts upto Mid-June. Summer temperatures climb upto 47 ?C. But with summer becomes bearable with the Kesar mangoes of Junaghad which are famous in Gujarat. The Gujaratis do justice to the the fruit and mangoes in every imaginable form make the summer worthwhile. Make sure, you enjoy the traditional Aam Raas (thick mango juice) or the variety of raw mango pickle that promises to tickle your taste buds. Mid-June to mid-September are the months of monsoon followed by winter when it is enjoyable to visit Ahmedabad. The typical temperature in the city during winter is between 5 C (night) to 20 C (day).
Orientation & Getting Around:


The best way to get around is the three-wheeled auto rickshaw. Taxis are available but need to be booked in advance. Chauffer-driven SUVs can also be hired. The city is well connected by bus, but not a very comfortable way to travel. For one, bus numbers as well as routes are printed in the local language. Secondly, they are awfully crowded.
