15 Best Picnic Places to Visit Near Ahmedabad for One / Two Days Trip

Published By: Jignesh Gohel on April 21, 2024

Being a moderator at Ahmedabad’s most popular Facebook groups “Travelaholics of Ahmedabad” & “TheIndia”, we used to receive hundreds of queries about the best places to visit near Ahmedabad. I did a detailed analysis about the common questions we are receiving and which includes:

• Which are the best picnic places near Ahmadabad?
• Suggest the best resorts near Ahmedabad to go and relax with family for an overnight stay.
• Which are the best places to visit near Ahmedabad for one day picnic with family, friends, or office staff?
• Any picnic places near Ahmedabad having games & other fun activities where we can spend whole day?
• Which is the best weekend getaway from Ahmadabad?
• Suggest the best places near Ahmedabad for school picnics etc..

And the list is very long, but We tried to include the most common questions we received so far.

Ahmedabad being the seventh largest city in India and the biggest in Gujarat is a major base of occupation, business and trade for industrial and financial growth of the state. Being unknown from the nearby city’s wealth of picnic spots and resorts, Amdavadis complaint about finding no nearby picnic spot to spend the weekend with family and friends in complete peace and have fun all together. If you are in Pune or Mumbai, you can easily find plenty of weekend getaway but when it comes to Ahmedabad, you will have limited options to explore.

Table of Contents

Common FAQs related to one / two days picnic places near Ahmedabad

The answer to this question is very tricky as the choice will be different from person to person depending upon his / her interest. We will list down all different type of picnic spot you can choose from in this article.

As there are many places available, single article is not enough to list the places which are located near Ahmadabad and easily accessible by road which includes resorts, Amusement parks, historical monuments and public places. This is the reason, we have decided to create separate article categorized by the theme and relevancy of the places and activities.

In our series, the articles are decided in to 3 below parts:

• Picnic Places – Public places where you can directly visit without prior booking or with due permission from the government. The current article will cover those places and detailed information.

You can visit respective article depending upon your requirement. It will save your time and can easily choose the place to plan your day trip or tour within or near by Ahmedabad.

Lets start this article with our recommended picnic places near Ahmedabad for a weekend or day trip.

List of Picnic Places Near Ahmedabad:

If you are looking for public places you can visit for a day trip, there are limited options available. In this section of the article, we tried to cover 14 most popular and easy to access public places near Ahmedabad. The most common type are historical monuments, temple, public parks, forest area or bird sanctuaries for a best experience. Please note that, the summer is very hot in Ahmedabad and I strongly recommend checking for weather as few places are only open / recommended during monsoon or winter season.

14 Most Popular Picnic Spots near Ahmedabad :

Our list will start with one of my favorite places I have explored many times from Ahmedabad.

1. Polo Forest:

Polo forest is my favorite picnic place to spend quality time in nature and I strongly recommend spending one night here to reveal its natural beauty. I recommend this place to visit during monsoon season where you can also go for trekking. Popped between sanctified hills on the east and west, polo forest holds the stories from past. It sounds horrifying but there are ancient temples, several still carrying out their pujas deep inside this thick jungle. This forest itself is one big temple and the trees themselves are the gods. Polo forest is considered as one of the most popular weekend getaway near Ahmedabad where the government of Gujarat organizes Polo utsav every year.

You can easily find places to stay and food in Polo forest but you need to make prior booking, especially during weekends by considering rush. If you are planning for a day trip, you can easily conduct road trip to Polo forest where you can start early in the morning from Ahmedabad and can return by late evening. Please note that, there is no entry fees to visit Polo forest as it is open and public place.

Activities to Do:

Traveler can do trekking and photography of ancient temples and go on a forest trail at Polo forest. During polo utsav, you can also participate in cycling and enjoy the various cultural activities at Polo forest. You can hire guide from polo campsite who can help you to plan trekking activities around. Please note that, don’t go inside forest without experience guide.

Distance from Ahmadabad : 156 Km

Here is the video from my recent trip to Polo forest from Ahmedabad:

Resorts in Polo Forest:

If you really want to experience the nature, book your stay (If you are lucky to receive reply) at Polo campsite operated by forest department and the most economical place to stay in Polo forest. As explained, Polo forest is surrounded by nature and the only activity is touristy. You will find few luxury resorts in Polo forest but most of them are located bit far (1 to 5 KM) from Polo camp site and they are bit expensive too.

If you are looking for luxury stay in Polo forest, you can check Fern Sattva Resort .

Best Season:

The best season to visit Polo forest is monsoon and winter. Avoid summer as you will hardly find any water body during this season.

2. Adalaj Stepwell:

Set in the noiseless village of Adalaj, Adalaj Stepwell aka Adalaj ni vav has worked as a relaxing place for hundreds of years for numerous travellers and convoys during their trade ways.   There is an opening in the ceilings which permits the light and air to come in the octagonal well. Though, straight sunshine does not touch the flight of steps or quays excluding a short-term in noon. Therefore it is believed that the atmosphere inside the well is 6⁰ cooler than the outside. Another extraordinary feature of this step-well is that out of the several stepwells in Gujarat, it is the only one with three entering steps.

Clicking pictures of walls engraved for embellishment, with epic scenes with everyday extracts of women whipping buttermilk, dancers amidst musicians, women prettifying themselves and a king sitting on a stool. There is a garden outside the step-well where you can seat and relax with the friends and family.

The gallery at left side displays beads, terracotta ornaments, replicas of seal and sealing, shell and ivory objects, copper and bronze objects, tools and potteries yielded from excavations. The gallery at right shows objects animal and human figurines, weights, painted potteries, objects recovered from burials and ritual objects, miniature potteries, bricks. It is closed on Fridays.

Cherishing the memories from past and click the museum galleries.

Distance from Ahmedabad: Around 76 Km

12. Rani Ki Vav Patan:

If you love heritage, you should also include Rani ki vav in your list and can plan a day trip from Ahmedabad. Located at just 127KM from Ahmedabad, you can make plan to visit Patan, Modhera sun temple and other nearby places in a day.

If you are in Gujarat around December, make sure you check about the music festival being organized every year. It can have great experience must say.

Activities to do at Rani Ki Vav

It is located in Patan village which is also famous for hand crafted patola which you can explore in the market. Do some photography and explore modhera sun temple located at just 35KM from Rani ki vav.

13. Modhera Sun Temple:

If you are planning for a day trip from Ahmedabad, this can be best option if you want to explore historical places and best architecture from 1026-1027 CE era. This temple is dedicated to god Sun which was built by Bhima I from the Chaulukya Dynasty.

Modhera Sun Temple is located around 100KM from Ahmedabad and can be reached in around 2 hours. You can plan a trip to this place along with Patan (Rani Ki Vav) in a single day.

Modhera Sun Temple Timings: Temple open regually 7:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M.

14. Sarkhej Roza:

Sarkhej Roza is an architectural masterpiece that is famous for its stunning mosque and tomb complex. This largest Roza in Gujarat and a magnificent example of the Mughal and Indian architectural styles. If you’re a visit for a cultural heritage place, Sarkhej Roza is perfect for you, as it offers a glimpse into the rich past of the region. The complex is built around the serene Sarkhej Lake, adding to the overall beauty of the location. Here magnificent halls and pillars are prominent Islamic elements that have been seamlessly incorporated into the design. A visit to Sarkhej Roza is a must for anyone who appreciates architectural beauty and a rich cultural history.

15. Varnindra Dham Patdi (Mini Poicha):

The Varnindra Dham Swaminarayan Temple in Patdi is famous as one of the best tourist places near Ahmedabad for one-day trip, dedicated to Lord Swaminarayan. The temple is decorated with thousands of colorful lights that make it appear incredibly beautiful in the evening.

The exhibition is the main tourist attraction of this temple. It has a Lotus form at the bottom. Because of its similarity to Poicha, people used to call it “ Mini Poicha “.

Conclusion:

There are many picnic places around Ahmedabad but I have included those which are easily accessible and suitable for groups, couple and family. Here I recommend visiting these picnic spots during day time as most of the destinations are public places and will be open during day time only. If you want to chill and relax by spending night as well? Check out some of the luxurious resorts near Ahmedabad where you can enjoy your weekends with family or friends.

• I Only Packed One Outfit for My Weeklong Vacation

Whenever I go anywhere, I end up bonding with one thing — that thing you wear the most on a trip — but before I go, I don’t know what that’s going to be. For our trip to St. John, I was only packing a backpack , and I knew it would need to be light or else I’d be grumpy carrying a heavy bag around. So I tried to figure out what the item I’d bond with would be before the trip and edit down based on that. About a week before the trip, I saw a shirt and I just knew that was going to be the one. Same thing with my shorts : I ordered them, and when I tried them on, I was like, Oh man, these are going to be the ones. And then I found the sandals in my closet — and I ended up bonding hard with all of them. Those three things were literally what I wore every single day.

When I last went into the Wythe store, I saw this and was like, Oh man, that’s a great khaki shirt . The fabric has the softness of cotton with a little bit of the nice texture of linen. It breaks in so awesomely: It kind of stretches out a little bit. The weave is a little loose on this thing, and it just gets looser. So it was the perfect beach shirt, and after six days in a row, this thing was soft as butter. What I like to do is I’ll take something — if it’s new — I’ll dump it in the salt water so it gets crusty, and then I rinse it out. I did that with this, and then it acted as a safety blanket. Sun protection. Headwrap. When your shoulders are sunburned, you lay this thing over yourself and put your bag over that so it doesn’t rake against your sunburn. This was like a Swiss Army Knife shirt. I felt like Magnum P.I. in this shirt.

Oh man, these are tremendous. The quality of nylon is enough to be structured but not feel heavy. And these are their shorty shorts. These are super-short — risky short — but I loved that about them. It made them that much more comfortable. They were like not-even-wearing-shorts short, but again, I wore these every single day. I would swim in them, snorkel in them, and then go to lunch in them. That was the uniform right here. I like the solid black, especially with the khaki — it feels sophisticated, but not at the expense of comfort or chillness.

Bedrock is just a great outdoor-sandal brand. They really care about their product and what they make. Wearing these was like not wearing anything at all. They’re made with a Vibram sole but it’s like an eighth of an inch thick. They’re so thin and feel like being barefoot since the straps are thin, too. They were my beach sandal and hiking sandal — I would do mileslong hikes in these up hills and on rocks. You definitely can feel things through the sole, but they’re awesome and super-versatile.

I get asked about this bag every time I use it. For the money, it’s pretty valuable. It’s not a cheap canvas tote, but it’s not luxury priced. You can dress it up; you can dress it down. At the end of our trip, I landed from St. John at 11 o’clock at night, got home, and had to be on a flight to New York the next day. This thing went from St. John to the city, and it was filled with sand at the bottom from the beach. It was pouring that day in New York, so I was like, Oh man. Three days ago I was on a beach with this thing, and now I’m trudging through pouring rain in New York.

My friend Jenny Olson’s mom started this cookie company Sweet Martha’s, and they sell them at the Minnesota State Fair. They started making merch for the fair, and this hat is from that. I just love it. It’s my favorite thing. It started out as navy blue and then faded to this weird sort of tie-dye-looking purple color. People love Sweet Martha’s so much, and now the hats have this weird cult following.

Note: The hat is currently sold out, but you can sign up to be notified when it’s back in stock on Sweet Martha’s website.

A first-timer's guide to exploring Bangkok: 5 handy tips

Updated : Apr 19, 2024, 21:20 IST

Bangkok is one of the most colourful cities in the world! The capital city of Thailand, Bangkok is home to some stunning temples, amazing nightclubs and warm people. This dynamic city is an excellent place for culture vultures and party lovers, alike. If you are planning a your first Bangkok trip, here we are to help you make the most of your visit with five handy tips for first-timers exploring the city:

Master the art of Tuk-Tuk negotiation

Tuk-tuks, the iconic three-wheeled motorised rickshaws, are a quintessential mode of transportation in Bangkok. While they offer a convenient and thrilling way to navigate the city's bustling streets, it's essential to negotiate the fare before hopping aboard. Tuk-tuk drivers often quote inflated prices to unsuspecting tourists, so don't hesitate to haggle and settle on a reasonable fare before embarking on your journey.

Navigate the city's waterways

Bangkok's intricate network of canals, or khlongs, provides a unique perspective of the city's bustling neighborhoods and vibrant culture. Hop aboard a long-tail boat or take a leisurely ride on the public ferries to explore hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path attractions along the Chao Phraya River and its tributaries. Don't miss the chance to visit the bustling floating markets, where vendors sell fresh produce, handicrafts, and delectable street food from their boats.

Understand the street food culture

One of the best ways to experience the authentic flavors of Bangkok is through its street food. From savory pad Thai and aromatic tom yum soup to sweet mango sticky rice and crispy fried bananas, Bangkok's street vendors offer a plethora of tantalizing dishes at budget-friendly prices. Be adventurous and sample local delicacies from the numerous food stalls lining the streets, but remember to choose vendors with high turnover and freshly prepared food to avoid stomach issues.

Experience the nightlife

Bangkok comes alive after dark, offering a diverse array of nightlife experiences to suit every taste. From rooftop bars with panoramic city views and lively night markets buzzing with activity to vibrant street-side eateries and pulsating nightclubs, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Explore the bustling nightlife districts of Sukhumvit, Silom, and Khao San Road, and immerse yourself in Bangkok's electrifying after-hours scene.

Visit the Grand Palace and temples

No visit to Bangkok is complete without exploring its magnificent temples and royal palaces. The Grand Palace, home to the revered Emerald Buddha, is a must-see attraction showcasing exquisite Thai architecture and intricate detailing. Nearby, Wat Pho houses the colossal Reclining Buddha, while Wat Arun, known as the Temple of Dawn, offers stunning views of the Chao Phraya River. Remember to dress modestly and cover your shoulders and knees when visiting these sacred sites.

Mountains You Can Climb In Just ONE Day

Posted: January 2, 2024 | Last updated: January 2, 2024

Rise to the top

Summiting a mountain needn’t be a multi-day wild camping adventure or even require special equipment. There are plenty of mountains, mounts and hills that you can conquer in under 24 hours, gaining a monumental sense of achievement without losing a night in your own bed. The only thing you’ll need on these hikes is a pair of good walking shoes, plenty of food and water and an infallible sense of determination.

Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK

Mount Fuji, Japan

Half Dome, California, USA

Jebel el Kest, Morocco

Hvannadalshnúkur, Iceland

Your guide will help you dodge the perils of slippery crevasses as you make your way to the top. From here, you can admire the icy views over Vatnajökull (which has featured in not one, but two James Bond movies), the south coast of Iceland, plus peer at the Öræfajökull volcano – the second largest active volcano in Europe.

Love this? Follow our Facebook page for more travel inspiration

Snowdon, Wales, UK

Kékes, Hungary

Table Mountain, Cape Town, South Africa

Pass through the jungle-esque Skeleton Gorge on your way up the mountain. Or take the more challenging Kasteelspoort route along the jagged Twelve Apostles cliffs, and you’ll be rewarded with a seemingly death-defying photo opportunity at the Diving Board rock formation. Want a lift down? Take the Table Mountain Cable Car. 

Check out the world's most beautiful remote mountain cabins

Monte Bronzone, Italy

Mulhacén, Spain

Mount Kosciuszko, New South Wales, Australia

Pikes Peak, Colorado, USA

Hiking this 14,114-foot (4,302m) Colorado mountain makes for one very long summer day, but it’s worth it. The most popular trail, the 13-mile (21km) – one way – Barr Trail, can take between six to 10 hours, and it’s recommended to start out as early as 4am. The good news is, there’s a camp halfway up you can stop for a break and a shuttle bus to whisk you back down the mountain.

The majestic mountain pokes above dense forest and commands Colorado’s impressive natural surroundings. The Barr Trail will give you a taste of great American wilderness on the way up, so hear the sounds of twittering birds and eagles cawing above. Above the tree line, scenery becomes craggy yet particularly striking at Devil’s Playground. Enjoy floor-to-ceiling views of the Rockies from the brand new visitor center up top and treat yourself to a donut.

These are America's most beautiful mountains

Mount Bromo, Indonesia

Vinicunca, Peru

You’ll see a number of South American icons on your way up: look out for llamas and alpacas roaming free. When you reach the summit, you’ll want to take endless selfies with the burst of color behind you. But look up from your screen to see other mountains in the Vilcanota range, as well as a high-altitude glacier known as Cusco Ausangate. 

Now take a look at the world's most beautiful mountains
