You will be picked up from your hotel in Ahmedabad with your English speaking guide for your 7:30 AM tour.   The tour begins in a cafe where you have a chance to enjoy some sweet masala chai tea as your guide talks about Ahmedabad.  It is one of Gujarat's wealthiest urban cities, with a rich history, fascinating architecture, and beautiful bazaars. Explore the cafe’s painting by famous artist M.F. Husain, who was once a regular visitor. You will take a Tuk-Tuk (the three-wheeled auto rickshaw) to the Swaminarayan Temple. This temple has vivid teak carvings devoted to Lord Swaminarayan. Next, head further into Old Ahmedabad to see its pols: groups of houses with mutual paths and private entryways. Stroll through a few pols, and watch some of their perfectly carved houses as you learn about their history. Explore Manek Chowk square, and see the chabutras, the city's bird feeding towers.
