Walk the pols and monuments of the walled city on a guided Amdavad Darshan heritage tour — the best way to experience the living heritage of Ahmedabad.
The walled city founded by Sultan Ahmed Shah in 1411 was inscribed in July 2017 for its rare mix of Hindu, Jain and Islamic architecture and its pols — tight-knit neighbourhoods of carved wooden houses.
A pol is a gated residential cluster in the old city, traditionally home to families of one community or trade. Look out for carved wooden facades, chabutras (bird feeders) and secret passages linking one pol to the next.
The Municipal Corporation’s morning Heritage Walk starts around 8 AM from the Swaminarayan Temple in Kalupur and ends near Jama Masjid, taking about two and a half hours through the pols. You can also book a guided Amdavad Darshan tour with us.
Don’t miss the Sidi Saiyyed Mosque and its tree-of-life jali, Jama Masjid, Bhadra Fort and Teen Darwaza, the Hutheesing Jain Temple, Adalaj Stepwell, Rani no Hajiro and the Calico Museum of Textiles.
