Location and neighbourhood

Gandhinagar is a planned capital laid out in a grid of 30 numbered sectors. The Capital sectors form the administrative and cultural heart of the city. Wide, tree-lined roads separate residential blocks from government buildings and parks. Mahatma Mandir, the convention centre, and the state Secretariat are in this area. Gandhinagar Capital railway station sits nearby. Akshardham, a large pink-sandstone temple complex, is in Sector 20. The sectors are quiet, green and easy to navigate. First-time visitors find the layout straightforward. Landmarks are clearly signposted. The Sabarmati river runs along the eastern edge of the city. Indroda Nature Park and the riverside gardens are a short drive away.

The city was designed by Indian planners in the 1960s, drawing on the Chandigarh model. The result is spacious and orderly. The pace is relaxed. Most sights are within a few kilometres of each other. Dandi Kutir, a museum on Gandhi's life, stands beside Mahatma Mandir. Punit Van and Sarita Udyan are botanical gardens along the river. The Adalaj stepwell is a 15-minute drive north. For a first-time visitor, the Capital sectors offer a calm introduction to Gujarat's capital. The best months to explore are November to February.

Getting there and around

The Leela Gandhinagar is in the Capital sectors. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad is around 17.4 km away. A taxi from the airport takes about 40 minutes. Gandhinagar Capital railway station is around 0.2 km from The Leela Gandhinagar. The Ahmedabad Metro extension serves the area with stations at Sector-1, Sachivalaya and Akshardham. Check the current service before travelling. Within the city, auto-rickshaws and taxis are available. The grid layout makes walking pleasant in the cooler months. Roads are wide and well-lit. For longer trips, buses run between sectors. Renting a car with a driver for the day is a common choice for sightseeing.

Nearby sights and food

Akshardham temple complex is a major sight. The pink sandstone carvings and gardens are open to visitors. An evening show explains the Swaminarayan tradition. Photography rules apply inside. Mahatma Mandir and the adjoining Dandi Kutir museum cover Gandhi's life and the Dandi March. Indroda Nature Park has forest trails, a deer park and a dinosaur fossil park. Punit Van and Sarita Udyan are riverside gardens good for a quiet walk. The Adalaj stepwell, five storeys deep and built in 1498, is north of the sectors. The Trimandir temple is nearby.

Food in Gandhinagar is entirely vegetarian. Gujarati thali is the classic meal: dal, kadhi, vegetables, roti, rice and sweets served in a set course. Dhokla, khaman and fafda-jalebi are popular snacks. Local eateries serve these throughout the day. Many restaurants offer thali at lunch and dinner. Street stalls sell fresh snacks in the evenings. Water and buttermilk are common drinks. The food is mild to moderately spiced. First-time visitors should try a thali for a complete taste of Gujarati cuisine.
