Ahmedabad, a UNESCO World Heritage City in Gujarat, is famous for historic sites like the Sabarmati Ashram and Adalaj Stepwell, as well as its intricate pols (old city quarters) and bustling textile markets. The local currency is the Indian rupee (INR), and while cash is useful in markets, cards and digital payments are widely accepted. Prices are generally low by international standards, offering great value for travelers. The climate is very hot and dry, with scorching summers (March–June), a monsoon season from July to September, and a pleasant, cooler winter from October to February.
