An 11.5 km landscaped promenade along the river — events, walks and sunsets. The Sabarmati Riverfront turned Ahmedabad’s once-neglected riverbanks into the city’s favourite open space, with wide walkways on both banks, gardens, cycling tracks and ghats stretching through the heart of the city. Its best-known landmark is Atal Bridge, the striking pedestrian bridge with a kite-inspired roof that links the two banks and is lit up beautifully after dark. Nearby you’ll find the Flower Park, open lawns for picnics and the Riverfront Event Centre, home to the International Kite Festival every January and the popular Flower Show in winter. Sabarmati Ashram, Mahatma Gandhi’s riverside home, is on the western bank to the north. Locals come here for morning jogs, evening walks, cycling (bicycles can be rented along the promenade) and to watch the sunset over the water. Evenings and weekends are the liveliest times. Getting there: the riverfront runs past Ellisbridge, Ashram Road and Paldi; the metro’s Old High Court and Ashram Road stations are a short walk from the promenade.
