🕰 6:45 AM – Starting Point: Kavi Akha Bhagat Chowk and Memorial

As the city awakens we stand at a place where words once sparked transformation. A poet’s vision reshaped how people perceived faith society and life itself. Through his verses Ahmedabad is revealed not just as stone and streets but as a living story. This is where our journey begins—where poetry meets perception.

📍 Pratima Haveli Jethabhai ni Haveli (7:15 - 7:30 AM)

From poetry we move to beauty. A traveler once described Ahmedabad as a city of unparalleled grace where havelis stood like jeweled masterpieces their carvings resembling lace woven in stone. At Pratima Haveli we pause allowing its elegance to speak for itself—a vision that has captivated hearts for centuries.

📍 Mangaldas ni Haveli (7:35 - 7:45 AM)

Deeper into the city we reach a place that showcases order and craftsmanship. A traveler once marveled at how meticulously the pols were planned—homes connected yet independent streets bustling yet secure. Standing before Mangaldas ni Haveli we witness the brilliance that made Ahmedabad a model of urban wisdom.

📍 Muhrat Pol Haveli Manek Chowk (7:50 - 8:10 AM)

Ahmedabad was not just built on art but also on trade. Its markets flourished drawing merchants from distant lands. A traveler once described a city where silk spices and jewels filled the bazaars and fortunes changed hands in grand havelis. At Muhrat Pol Haveli we step into that legacy—a place where commerce met culture.

📍 Jama Masjid (8:15 - 8:45 AM)

The city’s soul is reflected in its monuments. A traveler once stood in awe of a mosque so grand that it felt as if the sky itself rested upon its domes. The yellow sandstone intricate jalis and perfect symmetry—Jama Masjid is not just a place of worship but a testament to Ahmedabad’s timeless splendor.

📍 Bhadra Fort (9:00 - 9:35 AM)

Every journey must return to its origins. At the heart of Ahmedabad stands a fortress that once defined power and faith guarding a city destined for greatness. A traveler who arrived here called it a place of grandeur and might. As we stand before Bhadra Fort we see what they saw—a city built not just of bricks but of vision.
