Dating in Ahmedabad: first dates and weekend trips

Updated · by the SwipeTrip team

Ahmedabad is a food-and-evenings city: dates start late, once the heat breaks, and often end at a night market. Gujarat is a dry state, so first dates centre on food, walks and the old city's pols. Navratri's garba nights are a big part of the social calendar.

First date ideas in Ahmedabad

  • Sabarmati Riverfront

    Central Ahmedabad

    Long walkways along the river, with the Atal Bridge footbridge lit up at night.

  • Sabarmati Ashram

    Ashram Road

    Gandhi's ashram by the river, peaceful and full of history. A thoughtful daytime date.

  • Manek Chowk

    Old City

    A market square that turns into a street-food hub at night, famous for its sandwiches, pav bhaji and kulfi.

  • Law Garden

    Ellisbridge

    Evening stalls selling textiles and street food around a public garden.

    Maninagar

    A lake with a promenade, a toy train and food stalls, busy with families in the evenings.

  • Adalaj Stepwell

    Adalaj, near Gandhinagar

    A carved 15th-century stepwell, cool even in summer. Combine with a drive to Gandhinagar.

  • Old City heritage walk

    Walled City

    Ahmedabad's walled city is a UNESCO World Heritage City. Walk through the pols, havelis and mosques, ideally early in the morning.

First-date tips for Ahmedabad

  • Go out after sunset: From March to June days can be extremely hot. Evenings on the riverfront or at a night market are far more comfortable.
  • Use the Metro or BRTS: The Ahmedabad Metro and the BRTS buses connect much of the city, so you can travel on your own.
  • Navratri nights: Garba is a fun group date, but venues are crowded and late. Go with friends and keep your own way home.
  • Tell a friend: Share where you're meeting and who with.
