Sabarmati Riverfront - Tourist attraction in Ahmedabad - Ahmadabad, India

The riverfront on Sabarmati River has given new identity to Ahmedabad. The Riverfront has quickly become popular hangout destination for Amdavadis. I lived in Ahmedabad from 1979 to 1994 before moving to US. But, today's Ahmedabad is completely different and has transformed into one of the best cities in India. The major credit goes to Sabarmati Riverfront. Since, there are not many public parks in the city, the Riverfront has become major attraction both for locals and tourists. To my surprise, the gardens were well maintained and reasonably clean. The Atal walking bridge is part of the whole riverfront project and connects the East and West of Sabarmati Riverfront. The colorful walking bridge is like a tail of the kite (kite flying is very popular here). You can view the beautiful river and city lighting from the bridge and relax on the benches (if you find a place). The negative side of the place is that it is too crowded to sit and relax. It is hard to take pictures without photobombing. The place could have been much cleaner. Everything looked dusty. If you are in Ahmedabad, it is recommended to visit in the evening time.

It's a calm and peaceful place to hang out alone, or with friends or family. Children can enjoy skating, cycling, walking. It's beautiful during night time to look at the buildings on the other end and the view of Atal Bridge. You can picnic out here or sit and enjoy reading a book on the weekends. The Riverfront is a big stretch. Their are stairs to go down to the river front and enjoy the view.

The beautiful atal bridge, picturesque gardens and a long shining riverfront to spend time with loved ones. The beautiful ahemdabad city view increases its charm especially at night with all the lights. Its also a great place for the locals to jog. Tickets have to be bought for atal bridge and the gardens. Great visit.

One of the best visiting places in Ahmedabad is the Sabarmati River Front. I literally spent hours sitting by the river, feeling the mild breeze and enjoying the sunset. They made a park also. Which wasn't the centre of attraction for me. Rather, I enjoyed the sitting area and the walking/running path made around the river. Many people go for morning/evening walks as I sat there and saw. A place for good vibes indeed.

If you are new to this city then probably you will find difficulty in car and bike but this place is fully equipped with multistorey car and bike parking exactly opposite to this park entry and from this parking you can directly enter into the park premises from the first floor. Outside eatables are allowed and food served on this site probably you may not like it and so suggestions take it from outside.

Truly scenic place where you cam relax, take a walk, or ride a bicycle. Recommended to visit during evening time when you can see all the skyline of the Ahemdabad city. Its very clean. Good place to visit.

Such a wonderful place. Calm and serene. The riverfront sides have cycle rental facilities which seemed a bit costly. However its worth it. The view of atal bridge from the riverfront is so good. I have lot of good memories in this place.

The Sabarmati river is a monsoon-fed river which has a total catchment area of 21,674 square kilometres (8,368 sq mi). The Dharoi Dam constructed in 1976 upstream of Ahmedabad controls water and protects from flooding while Vasna Barrage constructed in 1976 downstream retains water in the river along the city banks and diverts it through Fatehwadi canal for irrigation. The Narmada Canal, which crosses Sabarmati a few kilometres upstream from the city, is part of a larger canal network of Sardar Sarovar Dam. The canal can feed excess water to the river and maintains the level of water in the river which is retained through Vasna Barrage. The Sabarmati Ashram will be also connected to lower promenade and existing steps will be developed as an amphitheater. The 3.3 ha Heritage Plaza along the city walls between Ellis Bridge and Nehru Bridge will be designed as open space showcasing heritage, history and culture of the city. Some sports complexes are also proposed. Thank You
